Serena Williams loses semi final game & Drake gets the blame for it

Serena Williams lost the semi final to unseeded Roberta Vinci who ended up winning the match in three sets. The match was very intense and it had Serena yelling after each shot she won.

Then Roberta at one point threw her hands up when she won and basically was taunting the crowd because everyone was cheering only for Serena.

Drake's song "Hold On, We're Going Home." Kept playing while Serena played.

Drake looked happy and was laughing and smiling when the song came on.

Serena's loss, however, is going to take a lot more to get over, as she was on her way to becoming only the sixth player in history to win all four grand slams in a year.

Not surprisingly, it didn't take long for the Drake backlash to begin.

Chris Brown wins! Gets 50/50 custody of his daughter, Royalty

Chris Brown was in court today with his baby mama Nia Guzman and he won! TMZ reports below... 

Chris Brown just scored an enormous victory in his child custody war with his baby mama ... he got joint custody of Royalty, and he gets to take Royalty home today. Brown and Nia Guzman squared off in a Houston court Friday morning. She not only wanted to deny Chris any custodial rights, she also only wanted to give him supervised visitation.

The judge disagreed and we've learned Chris and Nia will share 50/50 physical custody, with Royalty going back and fourth every 4 days. Both Chris and Nia now live in L.A.

And Chris, who was in court represented by Mark Geragos, scored another victory. The judge ordered him to pay Nia $2,500 a month in child support, which is exactly what he's been paying her. She wanted $15k.

The judge also ordered Nia not to talk crap on Chris and not reveal anything about the case on social media.

EFCC Impostor caught pants down in the middle of shady deal

Samson Irefin, a staff of the National Biotechnology Development Agency, NABDA has been arrested for attempting to dupe a NAFDAC contractor, Liuideco Global Services Limited while posing as an EFCC official.

He told the contractor that he can help “kill” a pending investigation by the EFCC, demanding a huge sum of N500,000 to be paid for it to be done.

the loot money

Irefin was picked up by operatives of the EFCC in the early hours of Friday September 11, 2015 while transacting with his ‘client’ in a bank in Abuja.

Apparently, the would-be victim, after being approached by Samson with his promises and knowing he isn’t guilty of any crime, contacted EFCC and laid a complaint about the supposed ‘help’, and was asked to play along by the anti-graft agency.

The EFCC says Irefin will be charged to court after investigation is concluded.

Tunde Bakare speaks on Jonathan, Orubebe and Christian leaders

Nigerian Pastor, Tunde Bakare, has shared details of his experiences with former President Goodluck Jonathan as well as former Niger Delta Minister, Godsday Orubebe.

In an interview with an Abuja-based magazine, The Interview, Pastor Bakare, shared the tale of his meetings with Jonathan, as well as the disservice of Christian leaders towards the former President.

Read below:

“Let everyone declare what he has received. I can tell you what I received. I took two people there one day and he invited us to dinner. I had a bad sore throat that day, so I took a pass regarding the dinner.

“Another day, I took a couple there and I took a cup of tea.When we were leaving, Orubebe ran after me and offered me $50,000 for my transport. I said, ‘Haba, take your money, I am not for sale’. We said goodbye to him and the rest is history.”

He sent me a cow at Christmas – which I gave the staff to kill – and a hamper through our pastor in Abuja, but I told him to keep it.”

“Finally, when the opportunity came and he (Jonathan) said, ‘I will like to give you something’. I [then] said ‘I like pens: so if you must give me anything, let it be a pen, so that I can show it to my people and say ‘the president gave me a pen,’” he disclosed.

“When he (Jonathan) became president, I said to him, ‘the things we marched and protested against, you are now perpetrating them – the same impunity’”.

“I gave him four points in writing. Before we left Lagos, I gave a copy to Pastor Adeboye and another to General Alani Akinrinade. I said, ‘we are going to say goodbye to this man’ because if a man cannot keep his own side of the bargain, because if you got here by the grace of God and not because of any pedigree and, within 10 years, had become the president of Nigeria.

“God has brought you into the kingdom for such a time as this, so you cannot begin to commit the same impunity.”

“He reached out to me later and said, ‘look, let’s put that behind us; Nigeria’s situation is critical.”

“Before I went, I called General Buhari and said ‘this man invited me, I don’t know what for.’ When I got there, he said he needed someone who could tell him the truth always. I said, ‘if that is what you want, you have me at your side.”

“However, you see, Christian leaders benefitted tremendously from his administration in terms of licences and waivers. The thing is, when you allow those in power to get you into any compromise, speaking to them will be very difficult.

“I don’t know if any of those allegations were true, but I have seen enough to begin to think that they were not able to use our overwhelming influence. If you have benefitted from evil, you cannot talk about it, nor criticize it. Let everyone declare what he has received.”
