One of the slain fuel subsidy removal protesters, Samuel Ademola Abe who was sent to an untimely grave on January 9, 2012 by a trigger-happy policeman was finally laid to rest on March 14th, 2012 at the Atan cemetary, Lagos.
The 28 year-old tailor has been immortalized. Members of the Ifako Ijaiye Local Government erected a monument in his honour and placed it at a strategic location at Ogba, Lagos State. (Very close to where he was brutally murdered).
however, some Ifako Ijaiye Youths while speaking to the Lagos State House of Assembly representative solicited justice (over the matter) on the matter.

May his soul find repose

PHOTO OF THE DAY: BRITAIN'S BIGGEST BURGER

It contains N17, 720 calories and sold for £40 pounds. This enormous piece of snack is tagged Britain’s biggest burger.
According to daily mail, it is a challenge for even the hungriest customer, packing seven pounds of beef, nine rashers of bacon and nine slices of cheese into a 12-inch bun.

Vas Herodotou, the owner of the restaurant said, “We spoke to some of our customers and we already have a huge list of people who want to give it a go. We can’t resist a challenge, but I don’t think there is anyone out there who can finish it.”


Those who manage to finish the burger in an hour will be added to the restaurant’s hall of fame
However, those who are ready to take on the challenge are asked to give the restaurant 24 hours’ notice.

Not for me, not even when I’m on 70 days dry fasting. But forget it, some Africans esp Nigerians will finish this piece within 30mins or less.lol

SHAN GEORGE'S SON FINDS LOVE IN MUSIC

Shan George’s son

Jagaceo Otsemobor, son of veteran actress, Shan George has decided to follow the footsteps of his mother. But the undergraduate of the University of East London prefers singing to acting. 

Known as Mista Dry Gin or Jaga Clyde, the 23-year old has released a maiden single, ‘Egba mi’ to follow up on his growing influence and acceptance in the UK.
The starlet who released eight mix-tapes within the space of three years also works as a producer and sound engineer. He won’t ride on his mum’s success but rather work hard to make a name for himself. It feels good and normal to be Shan’s son. She might be a top actress but to me she’s my mum. I feel I’m more creative when it comes to making music but I don’t consider myself a good actor at the moment’. He added.
When questioned about his choice of stage name, the handsome looking Jagaceo said ‘I was a very stubborn boy in secondary school, so my friends gave me the name because I always had a bottle of Chelsea dry gin hidden somewhere. I decided to stick to that identity when I opted for music’.

Mista Dry Gin has worked with loads of Nigerian artistes including Play Records’ Kanebi, Ghost of Show Dem Camp, eL Flaco and Novo to name a few acts. He also featured artistes from Eastern Europe, Italy and Ghana in some collaborations.

KIM KARDASHIAN THREATENS TO SUE MEXICAN PLASTIC SURGEON

The controversial billboard
Kim Kardashain

She has on countless occasions denied ever having a plastic surgery in her entire life. So contrary to your expectations, her body wasn’t toyed with.
But If there’s one thing international model, Kim Kardashian can’t deny, it’s her voluptuous figure/curves. This however might have moved a Mexican plastic surgeon to use her photograph (which showed her reclining on a sunbed in a bikini) to promote his plastic surgery business.

The billboard message reads thus “No arriesgue su belleza, ni su salud”, which means
‘Don’t risk your beauty or your
health’ – encouraging people to visit a professional plastic surgeon instead of quacks.

The reality TV star isn’t interested in her picture being flung all over mexico (provided there is an agreement and some wads remitted into her coffers), thus, she has engaged the services of her lawyers to sue the so-called Doctor simply identified as Dr Ramirez.
Dr Ramirez when asked by TMZ.com if he sought Kim’s permission before
using the picture, replied: ‘Obviously I did not speak to Kim Kardashian. I do not have her number.’
And when told the implications of such promised to get the police involved.
