Wesley Snipes He Has No Regrets Passing On Playing Lucious Lyon in ‘Empire’

Did you know that Wesley Snipes was supposed to play Lucious Lyon in the hit TV show ‘Empire’??? … Oh Yes but he passed it to Terrence Howard – And in a recent chat with TMZ, he says he’s got nothing but love for the show and its star. . .

According to TMZ:

Snipes was walking into Bootsy Bellows Tuesday night and told our photog there’s no torment over turning down the role that eventually went to Terrence Howard … and he’d even be open to a guest spot on the show.
Not sure where Snipes will find the time … he’s got “The Player” premiering next month and he’s working on a new superhero character … that could be better than Blade.

Would you have preferred Wesley to Terrence for the role of Lucious Lyon???

Buhari Must Prove That He is the Saint He Has Portrayed Himself To Be – Balarabe Musa

Alhaji Balarabe Musa, a second Republic Governor of Kaduna State, yesterday, stated his fears on the ability of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government to wipe the corruption in Nigeria out…

The elder statesman, while speaking with Vanguard, said that the president had shot himself in the foot by deliberately limiting the war to Jonathan’s era, thereby making some highly corrupt persons to escape and carry on as saints – While also stating that former President Jonathan shouldn’t have been president in the first place
He said:

“In the first place, Jonathan should not have been the president of Nigeria because he lacks both the competence and the experience to run the country successfully. Nigeria is not a place to train on the job because unlike in America where there is a set standard in place, it is the leader who sets the standard in Nigeria.”

He added:

“We don’t dispute the fact that Jonathan should not have been made the president of Nigeria at the time he was brought in but the point remains that Buhari must also prove that he is the saint he has portrayed himself to be.
“But my fear is that there are so many corrupt persons around Buhari and in APC and PDP while he has deliberately decided to limit his probe of corrupt persons to only those who served under Jonathan. This is very sad and a clear evidence of selective trial of opponents.”
“I will advise Buhari to convince himself that he is morally and politically capable to undertake the responsibility of cleaning up Nigeria. I will ask him to constitute a government of national unity involving all the political parties in Nigeria in the task of rebuilding Nigeria.”

Well said or what do you think???

Students ‘Hacked Boy with Machete Before Burying Him Alive and Having Sex on Grave’

When you think you’ve heard the worse something even worse slaps you in the face – It has been reported by the police that four students(photos above) hacked a teenage boy with a machete and buried him alive before two of the attackers had sex near his shallow grave. . .

According to the report, the boys plotted the gruesome murder of Jose Amaya Guardado for two weeks, digging the grave and hiding the machete in woods near their Florida university campus, arrest records obtained by the Miami Herald show. UK Mirror reports thus:

Kaheem Arbelo, 20, Jonathan Lucas, 18, and Christian Colon, 19, were arrested and confessed to the crime last week, Miami-Dade police said.
A fourth suspect, Desiray Strickland, 18, was arrested and charged on Wednesday.
The students are believed to have lured Guardado to woods near the Homestead Job Corps campus, where all five lived around 35 miles south of Miami.
Arbelo, Lucas and Colon then allegedly ambushed Guardado and Arbelo struck him repeatedly with the machete.
Strickland “complained that she had missed the first series of machete strikes because she had walked away for a few minutes to urinate in the woods,” according to the arrest report.
The victim attempted to fight off his attackers but was outnumbered and repeatedly beaten with the machete “until his face caved in”, police said.
The teenager was then made to lay in the grave where he died before the suspects attempted to burn the evidence.
Lucas and Colon returned to campus while Strickland and Arbelo stayed behind to have sex, police said.
Guardado’s body was discovered three days later by his brothers, who saw feet in a burned area and alerted police.
Police believe the teenager was killed over a debt he owed to Arbelo, a suspected drug dealer, NBC Miami reported.
Arbelo, Lucas and Colon confessed to the killings on video, New York Daily News reported.
Strickland, however, shoved and head-butted a detective before she was handcuffed in the interview room, police said.
Arbelo, Lucas and Strickland have been charged with first-degree murder. Colon faces a second-degree murder and conspiracy charges, jail records show.

Hmmmmmm…

ISIS Militants Test Positive to HIV After Having Sex With Two Moroccan Women

At least 16 ISIS militants were diagnosed in al-Mayadeen city in the eastern Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor, of contracting HIV, medical sources told Kurd news agency ARA News – They are now being held in a quarantine centre after being infected with the disease by two Moroccan women…

The report states thus:

“IS leadership is planning to assign suicide attacks for its militants who are tested positive with AIDS,” a civil rights activist in al-Mayadeen told the agency.
“Most of those infected are foreign militants who had sexual intercourse with two Moroccan women.
“The women passed on the disease to the militants before their infection was revealed.
“We were ordered by the group’s local leadership to transfer the infected militants to a quarantine center in the city,” a Syrian doctor in al-Mayadeen said.

The women reportedly fled to Turkey because they feared ISIS would execute them.
There were also reports three months ago, that an Indonesian fighter in the city of Shaddadi in Hasakah province passed HIV on to his Yezidi sex slave. The same slave was later sold to other ISIS members, causing panic among the terrorists.
It also emerged the infected militant donated blood at an ISIS-held hospital in Shaddadi in May – The Indonesian militant was executed by the group, UK Mirror reports.
Hmmmm….

Guinness celebrates their Made of Black Ambassadors; Olamide, Eva and Phyno

This year, Guinness is demonstrating continued commitment to celebrate young Nigerians for who they are, represent what they want and give them a voice, Guinness®, is moving to the next step of the Made of Black campaign.

On Saturday, August 15, Guinness organised a media event to celebrate their made of black ambassadors; Olamide, Eva and Phyno. While explaining the next steps of the campaign, Portfolio Marketing Manager, Liz Ashdown said that Guinness is set to turn the camera around and focus on the real made of black heroes in all walks of life across Nigeria starting with their own brand ambassadors. 

Guinness believes that Olamide, Phyno and Eva have made a positive impact to the #madeofblack movement and wants to make them an even more pivotal part of the next phase; hence Guinness is excited to be celebrating them.

Phyno is #madeofblack, because he dared to be different, standing up to pursue what he believed in; his dream and not wavering till he got it. Eva believes that women can achieve anything they set their minds to and she has demonstrated this by treading a path previously believed to be reserved for men.

Olamide is a bona-fide game changer. This he has demonstrated not only in his style of music but in the utter dexterity with which he delivers his lines and the passion with which he pursues his career.

Hey, don’t be left out! As Guinness is taking every opportunity to ensure consumers have experiences made of more and opportunities to drink the beer made of more. Black is set to rule and take the centre stage in many major consumer passions including football.

The event, which held at Rhapsody, was an evening to celebrate Olamdie, Phyno and Eva, and showcase a cross section of real people that embody the spirit of being truly #madeofblack. The event included bold artistic performances including a skateboard and freestyle dance performance from the DNMT dance group and personalised graffiti portraits for the brand ambassadors by Osa7. 

There were also different Guinness serves throughout the day showing that there are more ways to drink black and show you are made of black. Are you part of the #drinkblackmovement?
