UPDATE: Pistorius MAKES bail: Blade Runner is freed by court after magistrates rules he is NOT a flight risk...

Verdict: The Paralympian is now nervously awaiting the decision of the magistrate who will announce this afternoon if he can be freed before trial or if he has to remain in custody...

Hello Friends!

Oscar Pistorius has won his application to be released on bail until the start of his trial for shooting dead girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. 

The Paralympian bent his head and sobbed as Magistrate Desmond Nair delivered his decision following four days of dramatic testimony at Pretoria Magistrate's Court bail hearing.

While courtroom supporters could be heard saying 'yes,' the athlete's weeping family were more subdued and appeared to pray after Mr Nair announced his decision following a 90-minute speech to the court.Pistorius, 26, is charged with one count of premeditated murder over the February 14 killing of the FHM cover girl. He says the shooting was accidental because he thought she was a dangerous intruder inside his home. 

Tense: The Paralympian's hands trembled as he said 'good morning, your worship' as the court session began in Pretoria Magistrate's Court, in South Africa's capital

Day of reckoning: Oscar Pistorius is continuing his fight for bail in the fourth day of a dramatic court hearing...

Scrutiny: Miss Steenkamp's Valentine's Day killing has seized the world's attention and there was intense focus today if Pistorius would be released, and if so, with what conditions

Following the verdict, Pistorius was taken down to the cells beneath the court, where he will be processed and released to his family.

During the lengthy hearing, Pistorius looked distraught as Mr Nair summed up the evidence the court has heard, including the Paralympian's own account of what happened when he opened fire.

Mr Nair, who previously described his task as 'unenviable', said there was no suggestion that Pistorius was a flight risk, he did not appear to have a propensity to violence, and there was no evidence that he would interfere with witnesses.

He said that the state only has circumstantial evidence but that 'does not prevent it being schedule six and I will approach it in that vein' - in the legal system schedule six means premeditated murder. 

He said Pistorius had 'reached out' in his affidavit describing what had happened, and - pausing before he delivered his final decision to the packed courtroom - said: 'I come to the conclusion that the accused has made a case to be released on bail.'

Decision: Magistrate Desmond Nair spoke following four days of drama at Pretoria Magistrate's Court bail hearing...

But Mr Nair was scathing in discussing Detective Hilton Botha's testimony presented to the court earlier in the week, saying he 'made several errors and concessions during cross-examination.'

He said Det Botha's perception of distance was 'astounding' when he discussed how near witnesses were to Pistorius' home. 

He said Det Botha 'blundered' on description of substances by saying testosterone and pointed out he was forced to concede there was a cartridge out in the passage which he had omitted from evidence.

Wiping his brow due to the heat in the court, Mr Nair said Det Botha did not spend as much time as he ought to in order to show Pistorius had a propensity towards violence.

He stated the past incidents as discussed in court were not enough to establish a propensity towards violence.

Nair said said the prosecution did not do enough to establish whether or not Pistorius had a house in Italy. 

Now that's a baby bump! Kim Kardashian reveals her changing figure in a monochrome shift dress...

No hiding it: Kim Kardashian showed off her growing baby bump and her increasingly curvaceous body in Beverly Hills, California, on Thursday...

Hello Friends!

Black clothing is known for its slimming properties.

But as her pregnancy advances there is no hiding Kim Kardashian's growing curves.

And when the star stepped out in a monochrome dress on Thursday there was no hiding the fact that a Kardashian baby is on its way.

The 32-year-old has more than four months to go however, as she shopped in Beverly Hills, California, on Thursday the star looked ready to pop.

Kim has always been known for her curvaceous figure. But now she is expecting a baby - with rapper boyfriend Kanye West - the Keeping Up With The Kardashians has taken her curves to a whole new level.

As Kim picked up her car at luxury department store Barneys New York, it seemed as though the blooming beauty may not be able to fit. From the front the dress Kim's growing bump was obscured but from the side there was no missing it.

Sibling shopping: The star later headed to Woodland Hills to meet up with her step-brother Brody Jenner...

Spliced: The pregnant 32-year-old wore a black and white spliced ensemble, which showed plenty of her curves at the back on onside but disguised them on the other..

What bump? The 32-year-old's dress created an illusion simultaneously showing off and hiding her curves and pregnant stomach..

Seen leaving her home earlier in the day in the black and white spliced ensemble, the reality mogul paired the dress with more monochrome in the form of white stilettos and a simple black leather clutch.

Kim allowed a pop of color by wearing lashings of bright red lipstick on her famous pout and slicked her hair back into a tight bun.

The outfit and the hair and make-up gave her a high fashion look that is slowly becoming her style since she started dating Kanye.

Rihanna commented: ‘That depends on the terms, but I’m sure Kate knows them.’

60-yr-old pastor, 3 others docked for allegedly selling a month old baby....

P.S. Picture does not represent Story...

Hello Friends!

LAGOS— A 60-year-old self-acclaimed Pastor, Simon Dike, and three other persons were, yesterday, arraigned before an Ebute-Metta Chief Magistrate Court in Lagos, for allegedly selling a month and 18-day-old baby boy for N60,000.

The accused persons are Joy Uzochukwa, 27, the mother of the baby; Margaret Obinwa, 49, an auxiliary nurse and Chibuzor Ogbonna, 50, who was said to be the father of the baby.

The father of the baby is facing a two-count charge of conspiracy in human trafficking and selling of a new born baby, Obinwa; the auxiliary nurse is facing a one-count charge of purchasing the baby while Dike is also facing a two-count charge of human trafficking and failure to use all reasonable means to prevent the commission of the offence by the mother of the baby and the auxiliary nurse.

The accused persons, who were brought to the court by detectives from State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti in Yaba, pleaded not guilty to the charges.

According to the prosecutor, ASP Henry Obiazi, “all the accused persons are residents of Odongunyan, Ikorodu and the crime was committed on January 4, a day after the baby was born, at De-Ifes Medical Centre, Odogunyan, Ikorodu, Lagos.”

Obiazi informed the court that Uzochukwa went to meet Obinwa to help her abort the pregnancy as an auxiliary nurse but she encouraged her not to abort but sell the baby, adding that Obinwa then introduced Uzochukwa to Dike, who wanted to buy the baby. Dike has been married for 28 years without a child.

The prosecutor said that Uzochukwa signed an undertaking not to demand for the baby after collecting the money, which she accepted the offer.

Man accused of buying human hair escapes lynching

The residents. Inset, Okunade

Hello Friends!

What exactly will make a man go from a salon to salon collecting people’s hair in exchange for money?

This is a question that only a 60-year-old man, Adewale Okunade, a landlord of a house on Segun Olatunji Street, Ijoko, Ota, Ogun State, has its answer.

Okunade, who hails from Oyo State, narrowly escaped being lynched on Thursday when some people in the neighbourhood pounced on him.

They alleged that the hair was being taken to an herbalist in Cotonou, Republic of Benin, who uses it to prepare charms for him. Some people said they found Okunade’s behaviour bizarre, insisting that there was more to his action.

It was gathered that the man had been in the business for some years but nemesis caught up with him on the fateful day when his ‘business partner’, a bricklayer, gave him away.

An executive member of the Community Development Association said Okunade allegedly confessed that he had been buying human hair.

According to the CDA executive, the victim said he had been using the hair to cure himself of festering sores on his leg.

He said the suspect denied the hair was meant for rituals, saying he used to take the hair to an herbalist to prepare concoctions for his sores.

He said many traditional medicine practitioners who were there when Okunade was apprehended, said human hair could only be used for rituals not for curing sores.

He said, “The suspect’s partner had gone to a barber in their neighbourhood to buy some hair. The barber, however, refused. The suspect sent his partner to go to the barber’s apprentice.

Goldie's hubby Gets Warning From Ex Wife, Ifeoma...

Hello Friends!

My Thoughts: It beats my mind why after the death of an individual, series of stories start cropping up...Most of the time, unpleasant stories, like in the Nigerian societal context.

We are still mourning our very talented Goldie, yet some people are gaining media hype from her sudden and painful death. It is my sincere plea that the family and "supposed friends" of Goldie should respect her memory and keep their "dirty issues" out of the public domain. Goldie was loved and would be greatly missed...

She further said "Leonard Andrew Harvey i think you have alot of explanations to do and please do not push me to the limit because this will result to alot of prosecutions on your part.

Leonard Andrew Harvey be careful of what you are doing and saying cause you are hurting our kids.

This is your final warning anymore of your lies I will instruct my lawyers to issue proceedings."

To counter all these, Leonard Harvey was contacted and he said he has contacted Ifeoma on all the series of statement she was alleged to have posted on her facebook walls but said those things were not from her.

Whitney Houston’s Daughter Pregnant & Suicidal; Befriends Lesbian Lover; Illuminati Plot..

Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown’s Daughter Bobbi Kristina Allegedly Pregnant and Suicidal After Death Anniversary...

Hello Friends!

Following the one year anniversary of Whitney Houston’s death, family members fear that her daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown is both pregnant and suicidal, sources told the National Enquirer.

“For weeks she’s been look­ing like she’s pregnant, and it’s a big worry because she has gone off the rails again, suffering deep depression,” said an insider to the publication.

Bobbi Kristina – known as “Krissi” to friends – is depressed from the pain she feels over all the reminders of her mom’s shocking Feb. 11, 2012, death and the war she is waging against her grandmother Cissy for writing a tell-all book.

Whitney’s family is so worried about Bobbi Kristina killing herself, they con­vinced her ex-boyfriend Nick Gordon to move into the 19-year-old’s Atlanta, Georgia town­house.

“Even though they initially didn’t approve of Nick when he and Krissi first got together, they now want him back in her life to keep her under control,” said the insider. “They know he is about the only person who has a calming effect on her. He’s very protective of her and can hopefully keep her from self-destructing.”

They feel 23-year-old Nick can help because the two are very close. Af­ter his mother could no longer care for him, Nick was taken into Whitney’s household and raised as a member of the family. After Whitney’s death, Krissi and he began a romantic relationship.

“They broke up in November,” said a fam­ily friend. “But now her grandma Cissy and her uncle Gary and aunt Pat (Houston) decided they had to encourage the relationship because Krissi listens to Nick. They’re just hoping he can keep her from returning to the party life.”

Bobbi Kristina’s spokes­person insists she is neither pregnant nor suicidal, but other people claim it will be a difficult battle for Nick to bring her out of her deep depression.

“Krissi is still crying over her mother and can’t believe she’s gone,” a family friend told the publication. “And as the anniversary of Whit­ney’s death got closer, she got more and more upset.

“She’d be fine one minute and then would fly into a rage over the smallest thing. When anyone tried to help her, she would either burst into tears or get angry and say, ‘I don’t need any help. Stay away from me!’

“Her family fears if she gets the chance, she could take her life to be with her mother again.”

Bobbi Kristina is so confused and lonely from her current life that, “she’s openly suggested that she’s thought about killing herself,” said an insider.

“She said, ‘I’m nothing without Mom. I can’t go on by myself. I want to be with Mom!’”

The publication revealed in 2008, Bobbi Kristina has already tried to commit suicide, slashing her wrists with a razor blade after trying to stab her mom during a heated argument.

The shocking suicide attempt landed her in a psychiatric ward at Atlanta’s Peachford hospital days before a planned celebration of her 15th birthday. She was admitted with bandages on both arms from wrist to elbow, and ended up staying three days.

Alarmingly, her aunt Pat and others recently noticed that her behavior has become violent and alarming. She can suddenly become explosive – throwing lamps or vases around the house, say sources.

A few weeks ago, she erupted in a rage while driving, took a turn too fast and ran her car off the road. Then she acted like nothing had happened.

Family members believe Bobbi Kris is so emotionally fragile that anything might send her reeling. As she struggles to come to grips with her mom’s death, she does not seem to know who to trust.

“Krissi wants to know why all these people are claiming to love her mom be­cause she remembers some of these same people were making fun of her mother’s drug use and never tried to help,” said the friend.

Record executive Clive Davis infuriated the family by not rescheduling his Grammys party that was held the night Whitney drowned to death in the same Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

A private eye detective submitted new surveillance video evidence of Whitney’s room to the FBI recently. He claims that it proves drug dealers had her murdered that night and made it look like an accidental bathtub drowning.

Powerful Nigerians behind oil theft –Shell...

Managing Director, Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited, Mr. Mutiu Sunmonu...

Hello Friends!

Instead of going to European and other foreign countries to seek for help on how to tackle crude oil theft, the Goodluck Jonathan administration should move against “principalities and powers in high places,” who are the sponsors of crude oil theft, the Managing Director, Shell Petroleum Development Company, Mr. Mutiu Sunmonu, said in Abuja on Wednesday.

Sunmonu, who spoke at the ongoing Nigeria Oil and Gas 2013 Exhibition and Conference, compared the stolen crude deal to the drug business with couriers, small dealers and sponsors.

He said though it was commendable for the government to take the initiative of discussing with foreign countries suspected to hold the proceeds from the sale of stolen crude oil, the problem could easily be solved if the sponsors were found out and dealt with.

Sunmonu said like the drug business all over the world, criminals who sabotaged crude oil pipelines in the Niger Delta were only working for bigger entities that should be found out and dealt with.

“The truth is that the small criminals in the creeks of Niger Delta bursting pipelines and stealing crude oil are not working for themselves. Like the drug cartels around the world, they are being sponsored by big principalities and powers in high places, which the government should go against if the fight against crude oil theft is to be won,” he said.

The Shell boss said efforts should be made by all stakeholders to tackle the problem of poverty among the people, adding that if this was taken care of, the problem would have been half solved, as the perpetrators would not have any reason to allow themselves to be used to steal the country’s commonwealth.

Nollywood’s violence against women...

Bayo Olupohunda

Hello Friends!

Consider these movie scenarios. They are scenes straight out of your typicalNollywood production. A man and his wife were engaged in a heated matrimonial argument. The justifiably aggrieved woman had questioned her husband’s reckless philandering and constant late nights. Then in a flash, the man, in a fit of rage, descended on his wife. He delivered a flurry of slaps and pushed her to the ground raining blows on her in the process. He threatened to kill her and “nothing will happen’’.

He stormed out of the house, leaving her to nurse the wounds while she lay curled up in a corner sobbing. The traumatized woman sought refuge in her parents’ house. The mother, ignoring her sorry state advised her to endure her violent husband. She promptly sent her back to her matrimonial home. The film ended with no restitution for the woman. The abusive husband was not brought to justice-typical Nollywood script.

In another Nollywood movie, an indigent young lady (Ini Edo) is wrongly accused of stealing. The poor lady had obviously been set up by her “wicked” stepmother (Patience Ozokwor). In a scene that reeks of jungle justice and without proper investigation, the Igwe (Olu Jacobs) ruled that the girl be punished. She was paraded round the town.

The entire town descended on the suspect, beating her to stupor. With a bloodied face and bruised body, she was banished to the evil forest. In yet Nollywood movie, a woman whose husband had died prematurely was labelled a witch. She was accused of being responsible for his death. She suffered the most bizarre form of violence in the hands of her in-laws.

Another one had a group of girls on campus who were ganged-raped by cultists. They got away with the crime. The police even made a mockery of them when they reported the crime. One can go on and on.

Welcome to Nollywood.

An industry where movies after movies have either demonized women as glamorous “Jezebels” or cast them as powerless victims of violence unleashed by men who often get away with the crime.

The Nigerian film industry has long been rated the third biggest in the world. If you have ever wondered how the industry grew so quickly in recent years to become the third largest, you need not look any further. A trip to Upper Iweka in Onitsha or Ebinpejo Lane on Lagos Island will reveal incredible volumes of home videos churned out on a daily basis. This is what has placed the industry ahead of Hollywood and Bollywood.

Ex rated! Rihanna slips into wildly inappropriate fishnet stockings to celebrate her birthday with Chris Brown in Hawaii...

No missing this pair! Chris Brown held hands with Rihanna as they enjoyed the Hawaii sunshine on Wednesday...

Hello Friends!

Rihanna has received the birthday gift that she probably wanted the most.

She's been joined by her on-off boyfriend Chris Brown, 23, for her 25th celebrations in Hawaii and today - her actual birthday - the pair were spotted taking a romantic walk by the water. 

But oddly, given the laid back nature of their destination, Rihanna had decided to pull fishnet stockings over her bikini for the tropical stroll.

She looked as though she'd stepped out of a nightclub in the racy ensemble, which was wildly inappropriate for the locale, and Chris couldn't manage to keep his shorts up. 

Brown pulled her along the shore before the couple sat together to take in the view and perhaps whisper sweet nothings. 

It's just another sign of how seriously the pair seem to be taking their reconciliation. 

And another relationship seems to be on the mend as Katy Perry Tweeted an effusive message to her friend after seeming to ignore her at the Grammys, she wrote: 'HAPPIEST 25TH BIRTHDAY to my baby girl @rihanna! I wish I could b there drinking Mai-Tais & telling haters to eat a d*ck w/u!' 

Rihanna just debuted her first clothes range at London Fashion Week.

'Pour it up! Pour it up!' Rihanna Tweeted this shot of the couple later in the day 

Just the two of us: Chris steered his on/off girlfriend down the picturesque coast 

Tactile: The birthday girl, who turns 25 today, reached for her beau's hand..

Holding him close: Rihanna was pleased to see her beau, and wrapped her arm around him

And the pop star seemed to be making the most of the rare spot of R & R as she relaxed in a bikini on Tuesday ahead of her 25th birthday.

Staring suggestively at the camera Rihanna pulled on the straps of her tiny string bikini. The shots revealed the Barbadian beauty's incredible toned stomach. 

While Rihanna had spent the weekend working in London, Brown was in Houston where he headlined the NBA All Star weekend.

Also in Houston was his ex-girlfriend Karreuche Tran, who was spotted partying at a different nightclub to the rapper.

Why so serious: The paramours seemed to be deep in conversation...

Sharing: Rihanna also tweeted this picture with the caption, '#BIRTHDAYbehavior'..

Memories: Rihanna Tweeted this picture from her surprise 20th birthday party, you can see Brown on the left hand side 

While they were not photographed together, Karreuche raised eyebrows when she tweeted a picture of an ornate ceiling on Saturday with the caption 'Gnight'.

The picture was reported to be of the inside of a mansion hired by Brown for himself and a group of friends for the holiday weekend.

Karreuche soon deleted the picture, but not before it had sparked speculation that she was staying with her ex.

Rihanna and Brown only went public with their reconciliation at this month's Grammys.

Well they call her Bad Gal RiRi! The star blows smoke out her mouth in a suggestive fashion as she looks straight at the camera...

Suggestive: Rihanna pulls at her bikini straps...

And relax: Fresh from London Fashion Week, where she debuted her range for River Island, Rihanna posed by the pool in a crop top from her new range...

Keshi could be sacked —Osaze...

Stephen Keshi...

Hello Friends!

Troubled West Brom striker Osaze Odemwingie has warned coach Stephen Keshi he could soon be sacked even after leading Nigeria to Africa Nations Cup glory. The estranged Eagles attacker said he based his fears on volatile nature of sports administration in Nigeria. He made his opinion public via Twitter.

“A coach the country is praising now will one day be sacked and to his achievements they will say: only one cup? I beg.” Odemwingie tweeted.

Interestingly, Osaze had a public row with Keshi via the channel just before the Nations Cup in South Africa when the coach sensationally axed him from the Eagles team. But despite the disagreement, Keshi said in Lagos last week that the Eagles doors were still open for the player and others like Obafemi Martins who were cut from the team to South Africa.

Osaze Odemwingie 

In underlying his attitude to professionalism, the player said that his commitment to his club affected his relationship with former Eagles coach Samson Siasia. The attacker reckons his many problems are not down to a “bad attitude” but his “transparency.”

“Very little thing made me fall out with ex-Eagles coach Siasia, and that’s club commitment. And that commitment was questioned after,” Odemwingie tweeted.

“What did that teach me? You only a good guy and professional when you score and give your teams what they want. They throw us out after.”
