Jay-Z and Beyonce' to Miss Kanye and Kim's Wedding

Report: The Power Couple 'Jay-Z and Beyonce' to Miss Kanye and Kim's Wedding
Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles will not attend Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's wedding, but not because of the reported rift between the ladies. The rapper and his wife turned down the invitation because they didn't want anything to do with "Keeping Up with the Kardashians".

It has been reported that Kimye's wedding in France will be televised. "Jay-Z would be there if it wasn't going to be such a public event," a source told The Sun. As compensation for their absence, Jay-Z and Beyonce will treat the couple with a honeymoon on a rented yacht that cost them 100,000 pounds.

Besides, Jay-Z reportedly will also throw Kanye a big bachelor party at his New York club 40/40. "Instead he's making it up to his mate by throwing him the most extravagant stag do known to man," an insider told The Sun. "It will cost a small fortune - and to top it all off, he's chucked a 100,000 pounds yacht rental in there as a wedding gift as well."

Back in February, Kim told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show that it will be a private affair unlike her highly-publicized nuptials to Kris Humphries. "We're having a super, super small, intimate wedding," she said. "As we go along, we're realizing we want it to be smaller and more intimate than people are imagining and thinking."

Captain Terry wants Jose Mourinho to remain as Chelsea manager

John Terry wants Jose Mourinho to remain as Chelsea manager despite falling to another embarrassing defeat.
Southampton romped to a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge on Saturday evening as Terry was reinstated to the centre of defence, after he was axed from the line-up earlier this season.
The Special One came out fighting after the game and insisted he would never walk away from his beloved Blues and the only way he will leave is if owner Roman Abramovich pulls the trigger, report Get West London.
Chelsea have collected just eight points from a possible 24 this season and are only four above the relegation zone as we head into a two-week international break.
But Terry is confident there is enough quality in the dressing room to get the club out of the mess and certainly won’t be laying the blame at the manager’s door.
He said: “We have a big group of players and we have the best manager who we remain behind and we remain together.
“That is what you do in tough circumstances. I have been here a long time and I have seen managers come and go and if anyone is going to get us out of this hole it is going to be Jose Mourinho.
“The players will remain together and fight, and keep fighting for the supporters because they were excellent on Saturday.
“We are not in the familiar position we are normally in. We find ourselves in it and it is down to the group of players and the manager to get ourselves out of it and we must do that very soon.
“Generally I think we are looking low on confidence but we have a big group of players in that dressing room and we need to stand up, which we will do. There is no difference from last season.
“We need to be hungry like we were. Like many teams find, it is difficult to come back after winning the Premier League, we have seen it with Man City.
“We are suffering a bit of late but we have big characters in the dressing room and we will remain together along with the manager and get ourselves out of this.”
The international hiatus gives the underperforming Chelsea stars a chance to clear their heads before Aston Villa come to town on October 17.
Terry reckons three points against the Villains are an absolute must in their next fixture in order to put things right in west London.
He added: “Once you can get one win you build on that.
“We must win at home to Aston Villa after the international break, which is maybe a good opportunity for players to go away and clear their heads and come back after that and really kick on, because we need to start winning football matches.”

No more concessional posting for corps members - NYSC

Director General of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Brigadier General Johnson Olawumi has said that there would no longer be concessional posting for all corps members. Brig. Olawunmi said this while speaking with journalists during the opening ceremony of the training organised by the NYSC and the Housing Developers Cooperative Society for Corps Members at the NYSC Orientation Camp in Kubwa, Abuja yesterday September 21st.
“The NYSC is barring concessional posting; we have to take that decision, because in the past, we allowed concessional posting for prospective corps members, who had medical challenge, or married women or pregnant women, but as it stands now, our online registration platform has been designed in such a way to address the problem of those prospective corps members who have health challenges or married women.”
“So, all they need to do is that, in the process of doing their registration, there are information these categories of people need to supply and upload the documents, our portal has been designed in such a way that it will automatically post them to where they filled. I want to say that in the past few weeks we have been receiving requests from various quarters; ministries, departments, agencies, private institutions and individuals seeking for concessional posting. I want to say that they are just wasting their time,” he said.

Georgia parents forgive their sons who tried to kill them

The parents of two brothers, Christopher Ervin, 22 and Cameron Ervin, 17, who savagely beat and stabbed them in their home say they have forgiven their sons.
"Those were not our boys that did that to us. We did not raise them that way" Yvonne Ervin told WSB-TV exclusively. "We forgive our sons, we love them unconditionally" their dad Zachery Ervin added. "We have to make sure that they understand that to strengthen themselves." The two still bear the scars from the attack.
The boys attacked their parents on Sept. 5th and are currently awaiting trial for attempted murder...


"We understand there are consequences for what they did,” Yvonne told WSB-TV. “They understand that, but we’re just praying the world forgives them in the same way we forgive them.”
The brothers face two felony counts of aggravated assault in addition to arson charges for trying to blow up the house to conceal their crimes. They are also accused of drugging their parents.

The Trojan Horse and the Prince Of Persia - by Femi Fani-Kayode

Another interesting piece by two-time former Nigerian minister, Femi Fani-Kayode. Read below...
''Israel will no longer exist in 25 years''- Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei , the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Prince of Persia is a spirit-being that the Holy Bible describes as a ''principality’’. He rules over the geographical space that was once known as Persia but that is now known as Iran. Judging from the words of Ayatollah Khamenei I have little doubt that he is firmly under the grip of this spirit-being.
 When he speaks, it is not him that is speaking but rather it is the Prince of Persia that is speaking through him. This contribution is about the folly of trusting such a man and the manifest danger of entering into a nuclear arms deal with him. Permit me to begin with an aside. One of the consequences of the war in Syria and Iraq is the massive inflow of refugees from the Middle East into Europe. It is sad to see millions of people fleeing their homeland and walking half way across the world to escape the savagery of war.

TThe question that arises is this: why have Saudi Arabia and the other Arab Gulf states refused to assist their Muslim and Arab brothers and take them in? Mr. Paul Joseph Watson raised some pertinent points in a contribution to Global Research. He wrote: ‘’While European countries are being lectured about their failure to take in enough refugees, Saudi Arabia – which has taken in precisely zero migrants has 100,000 air conditioned tents that can house over 3 million people sitting empty. The sprawling network of high quality tents are located in the city of Mina, spreading across a 20 square km valley, and are only used for 5 days of the year by Hajj pilgrims.

The tents could provide shelter for almost all of the 4 million Syrian refugees that have been displaced by the country’s civil war. While it refuses to take in any more refugees, Saudi Arabia has offered to build 200 mosques for the 500,000 migrants a year expected to pour into Germany. While Europe is being burdened by potentially millions of people who don’t share the same culture or religion as the host population, Gulf Arab states refuse to pull their weight, resolving only to throw money at the problem’’. Mr. Watsons’ observations are legitimate. I support the assertion that the west should take in as many Arab refugees as possible on humanitarian grounds. However there must be a moment of pause whilst we consider the following questions. Is it possible that some of those that have fled to Europe are actually ISIS members who are using this opportunity to plant themselves in the very heart of western civilization where they can wreak havoc? Is there any truth in the Russian narrative that the massive exodus of Arab refugees into Europe today is nothing short of a "Trojan horse" invasion? Again is it conceivable that the refusal of the Saudis to receive any of the refugees is borne out of the fact that the quickest way to change the racial and religious identity of Europe and to bring greater Arab and Islamic influence to bear on western culture and civilization is the mass migration of millions of Muslim refugees into Europe? This suspicion is reinforced by the fact that instead of taking in the refugees the Saudi authorities have instead offered to build 200 mosques in Germany in order to cater for the migrants that seek refuge there. Do those voices in Europe that have called for caution in receiving the refugees have a point? That remains to be seen. This brings us to the very heart of this contribution and begs for an answer to the following question. If such an influx of refugees into Europe has been triggered off by what is essentially a Middle Eastern proxy war between the U.S.A and Saudi Arabia on the one hand and Russia and Iran on the other, can one possibly imagine the sheer carnage and massive influx that a war between Iran and Israel would cause? What is happening today would be child's play when one considers that scenario. Yet those that support the Iran nuclear arms deal fail to appreciate the fact that strengthening Iran by lifting sanctions and putting hundreds of billions of dollars in the Iranian governments’ coffers takes us one step closer to such a conflict. Until Iran renounces its intention of spreading global jihad and until the clerics that rule that country stop their provocative rhetoric towards Israel there can never be peace. The only language that terror understands is an equal dose of terror. The policy of appeasement which the Iran nuclear deal represents is the worst thing that could have happened and those that have put it in place will have cause to deeply regret it. The greatest mistake that President Obama has made is to trust Iran. This is a country whose leaders have continuously referred to America as the ‘’great Satan’’ and Israel as the ‘’little Satan’’. This is a country whose Supreme Leader opens political rallies by chanting ‘’death to America’’.

This is a country whose former President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said that Israel would be ‘’wiped off the face of the earth’’. This is a country whose leaders believe in the coming of the great muslim ''Mahdi''- the so-called "Guided One" whose coming, according to shia eschatology and prophecy, "will be heralded by the raising of a black flag in Kurasan".

This is a country whose leaders fully espouse the concept of global jihad and whose constitution specifically calls for the destruction of America and Israel. By this deal President Obama has given the Iranian government immense power and a new lease of life. This is a government that is perverse in all its ways and that presides over the affairs of a vicious and unrelenting theocratic state. This is a government that is led by a handful of misguided religious fanatics whose objective is to spread radical Islam throughout the world.

This is a government that has taken away the basic freedoms of its' own people and held them in bondage for the last 36 years. This is a government that exports blood, death and terror by funding terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Mehdi Army and many others throughout the world. Given all this can anyone legitimately dispute the words of the former Foreign Minister of Israel, Mr. Avigdor Lieberman, who described the nuclear deal as ''a surrender to terror''? On his part the Defence Minister of Israel, Mr. Moshe Yaalon, said it is a deal that was built on Iran's ''lies and deceit''. He went further by describing the agreement as ''a tragedy for all who aspire for regional stability and who fear a nuclear Iran''. Not one to be left out of the fray, the Prime Minister of Israel, Mr. Binyamin Netanyahu, called the deal a "historic mistake".

Most instructive of all was the contribution of Israel's Education Minister, Mr. Naftali Bennet, who warned that: ''The history books have been re-written again today and this period will be deemed particularly grave and dangerous''. He said, ''western citizens who get up for another day at work or school are not aware of the fact that about half a trillion dollars has been transferred to the hands of a terrorist superpower, the most dangerous country in the world, who has promised the destruction of nations and peoples.

Today it may be us, tomorrow it may reach every country in the form of suitcase bombs in London or New York. Israel has done everything possible to warn of danger and in the end it will follow its own interest and will do whatever it takes to defend itself'' (See Peter Beaumonts’ article in the UK's, Guardian Newspaper, 14th July 2015).

These men have spoken nothing but the truth and the world would do well to listen. Sadly that does not appear to be happening because the American government has been sold a dummy and they have taken the full plunge.

I have always viewed Obama's policies in the Middle East and North Africa with suspicion. In my view he is the greatest friend that the radical jihadists have ever had in the White House and he has done more for their cause than any other American President.

His support for the Iran nuclear deal confirms this. Permit me to conclude this contribution with a word to Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Hosseini Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the man who said that Israel will ''no longer exist’’ in 25 years: hell will freeze over before Israel ever goes down. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu responded to him in an equally eloquent manner by saying, "anyone who attacks the State of Israel will pay with his life".

A word is enough for the wise. The day that Iran attacks Israel will be the day that Iran would have signed its own death warrant. They will be crushed beyond recognition and redemption.

Rick Ross sued for rape, he says he didn't touch her

Newly engaged Rick Ross is being sued by a woman simply identified as Jane Doe who claims she was raped during Grammy weekend after being drugged in Rick Ross' van.
Jane Doe in the lawsuit claims she was at the W Hotel in L.A. where she met up with Rick and his entourage, who had invited her to go to Cannabis Cup which is a weed convention.

She says she got in the van with Rick, a guy named Thaddeus "Black" James, a DJ, 3 security guards and the driver and was offered some alcohol and shortly thereafter became dizzy and eventually passed out.
She says the next thing she knew, 2 hours had passed and she was in the van with Black, she went back to Black's hotel room and passed out again. She says she woke up at 8am, examined herself and realized she was naked and had been sexually assaulted.

Even though she says she believes Black is the one who raped her, she's suing not just Black but also Rick Ross because she says Black was Ross' agent and he should have been supervising him, and it was Ross' van.

According to an exclusive interview with TMZ, Ross said:
"It has been brought to my attention that serious allegations have been made against an independent contractor, who's services I use often. And while I am not directly involved or implicated, as a man and a father, I take this very seriously. I don't believe any woman's safety should be compromised and she should never be forced to do anything outside of her will, regardless of the circumstances."
58"While I personally have no knowledge of the specifics surrounding these allegations, it is my hope that this is rectified quickly and with sensitivity."
