Has anyone heard about the Sean Bell case, this happened in 2006 where three police officers, (2blacks and one white)shot him during his Bachelors eve. He was shot 50times in which 31 of the bullets was shot by the white Police, Micheal Oliver. This case is so similar to Diallo who was shot 41times. Remember the song "DIALLO DIALLO" by Wyclef.
Now its been two yrs since the sean bell incident occurred. I so happened to be in Newyork city when the verdict was announced, the court found three of the police officers not guilty. Even tho there was a peaceful riot the whole of NY ran mad literally. Being in NY felt like being in Naija and experiencing those riots. The whole of newyork last week was spotted with NYPD/police in every corner and station just in case of any outbreak.
To make matters worse when the officers where interviewed all they could do was to thank God, their family and supporters. None of them bothered to apologize to the parents of the victim apart from one officer. LIFE IS A BITCH!!! thats all i can say.

No British Airways for us!!!

I was going through the posts from the yahoo group i belong to....... nbforum@yahoogroups.com and i can tell you that i was not happy with what i was reading! How many of you fly British airways? and how many of you have experienced any gruesome form of treatment from them??

I have experienced some sort of demeaning behavior from them. I flew British Airways for the first time in 2005/06 which is not my norm because i usually fly my Lufthansa.... anyways, i had just left Nigeria and i was coming back to the states with my twin sister and 2 of my friends from my school.One of my friends was delayed a bit at the check point area because she was carrying a big bottle of medicinal drink which she had to transfer to a smaller bottle. Doing that took quite some time so we were actually there until my fellow Nigerian passengers left the check point area. Once my friend had finished, we realized that the security agents brought out some scented sprays and sprayed the whole area with it. I was very confused for a second.... i asked myself what it meant but i just didnt want to believe that they thought we all stunk???? in my mind i thought that was not called for, because with other airlines people just don't do that. That was my first time experiencing such.

I am sure most of you know the deal with Naomi Campbell(model), her luggage and British Airways?? How many of you have thought that maybe it was not really her fault that she went "kuku" on them for loosing her luggage....

Anyways, this story i am about to share with you will just get you very annoyed.and after reading this i will advice my fellow Nigerians or Africans that fly BA to boycott them at all cost.

I have copied and pasted exactly how it was sent to me and i will please like you to express your concerns, views and opinions. Here is the story!

"On the 27th of March 2008 at about 12:30pm, I boarded the British Airways flight BA75 and I went straight to seat 53C.

On getting to my seat, there were noises from an individual being forcibly restrained but who was not visible because some police officers and some plain clothes people held him down. The noise continued for more than 20 minutes and I was concerned because the individual was screaming in agony and shouting in pidgin English “I go die” meaning, I will die. I pleaded with the officers not to kill him and my exact words were “please don’t kill him”. The British Airways staff said that the officers were doing their jobs and that nothing was going to happen. The noise became louder and other passengers started getting concerned and were complaining especially about their safety.

Eventually, a member of the cabin crew announced that the passenger was going to be removed and the passenger was removed from the plane and we all thought that was the end of the situation. Five minutes later, two members of the cabin crew arrived with about 4 police officers and told me to get off the plane. I asked what the matter was and they said that I was not going to travel with the airline because the cabin crew thought I had been disruptive by questioning the noise being caused by the person that was removed. I pleaded with them that I was going for my brother’s wedding and that I had all his stuff with me. I was dragged out of the plane as if I was resisting arrest. As we got to the corridor that linked the plane with the terminal building, I was slammed against the wall and made to sit on the floor. I was still pleading with them telling them that they had completely misunderstood me and that I was only complaining about the situation regarding the disturbances caused by the deportee they were trying to restrain and subdue. I was on the floor for about 20 to 25 minutes. Another passenger was brought to the corridor as well and he was also pleading with the officers.

I was later put in the back of the police van at about 1:50pm and I was locked up there for about an hour or more still handcuffed. I was formally arrested approximately 2:30pm and my rights were read to me. Before the arrest in the van, I managed to reach for my pocket and brought out my mobile phone. I made some phone calls to my wife, sister and a friend while the low battery sign was on because I was all alone and still handcuffed.

I was later driven to the police station where I was formally checked in. I was in police custody for almost 8 hours and later released on bail after the interview with the duty solicitor and the detectives. I had £473.00 on me which was seized as well as £90.00 sent to my mother in-law from my sister in-law and £1,050.00 given to me by my cousin who is a doctor for the upkeep of his parents in Nigeria . All the money together was £1,613.00. I was told that I would appear in a magistrate court to prove the money was not meant for crime or proceeds of crime. The officer told me that they will like to see traceability and that I needed my payslips and bank account detailing my payments and withdrawals as well as my cousin’s payments and withdrawals.

I was released but without the money. I made my way to terminal 4 and arrived there at about 12:30am but the British Airways kiosks were closed. I was directed to the staff room and told them that I wanted to rebook my trip to Lagos . A lady told me to give her my ticket and she stated that British Airways has banned me from travelling with them indefinitely and that only the managers can use their discretions because I was a ‘disruptive passenger’. I requested for my 2 piece luggage and she told me that the section will be opened later at about 5:30am and I will be escorted in to collect them. I slept on the chair and waited till about 5:30am and attempted to rebook my ticket but was told that British Airways refused to take me. I decided to go and pick up my stuff and I was told that my luggage were missing. I was handed a form with reference number LONBA90924. At this point, I became totally stranded because I could not leave without my luggage because it contained my brother’s wedding suit, shirts and accessories.

I was on the phone with my wife and she wanted to book an alternative flight that departs at 10:15am so that I could make it for the wedding. This was not possible because British Airways refused to disclose where my luggages were and did not remove my luggage from the flight when they called the police to arrest me.

On Monday 31st of March, I appeared at the Magistrate court but was told that a decision was made about the £1,613.00 that was seized from me. The police had been granted a further 90 days to hold on to the money pending their investigation. I was given the officer’s details as DC Webster 0208 721 9141. He requested 12 months bank statements and 6 months payslip to prove that the £473.00 that belongs to me was not proceeds of crime and also requested that the £1,050.00 that was given to me by my cousin for his parents should also be traced to my cousin’s 12 months bank statement and 6 months payslip. DC Webster has promised to write me detailing these requests.

Still on Monday 31st of March 4 days after I was taken off the plane, I made extra efforts to find out the whereabouts of my 2 piece luggage (LONBA90924) , because they have not been sent to my address as promised by calling the lost baggage section at 13:44hrs and spoke to a man called Neil who said that, it is difficult for them to trace my bags and that there is a strong possibility that they might be in Lagos. He suggested that I should call back in 24 hours.

My bags were returned on Friday 4th of April. One week and one day after the incident. One of the bags was destroyed and the other was intact. I have written to British Airways to complain and ask fro my refund but I have not received anything from them yet.

I will not want to believe that the authorities involved in the situation deliberately or cleverly punished me unnecessarily out of frustration for not being able to restrain or subdue a deportee or that I as a fee paying passenger was accused of affray with violence when I was voicing my concerns about the disturbances caused by the deportees. I never mentioned any abusive or swear words neither was I physically threatening anyone. My luggage mysteriously was lost and I have been banned on all British Airways flights without a chance to say my part of the story to redeem myself. 200 passengers were asked to leave the flight because they expressed displeasure regarding the disturbances caused by the deportees and the officers trying to restrain him. My ticket was even refused to be endorsed by BA to enable me to fly with another airline. I need full compensation of my loss and also a letter of apology from British Airways".

TGIF(Thank God Its Fridayyyy)

Realities!! Realities!! Realities, how i love reality shows, i should start up my own reality show you Know..lol..... Anyways, VH1's Rock Of Love 2 with Brett Michaels is finally over.This reality show was about a rock legend Bret Michaels of the famous rock band POISON, trying to find love amidst several girls. He finally "found it" with some chic called Amber. I think Amber was the right choice for him,although she was not a rock chic, i think she was a lot more mature and level-headed for him. Of course i cannot talk about reality and not mention FLAVOR OF LOVE or I LOVE NEW YORK, so far so gud, this seasons flavor of Love has been dry but the ironic thing is that i still keep tunning to it......lol
and as for Newyork she is starting a new show called NEWYORK GOES TO HOLLYWOOD...wow, more grease to her elbows, shes a superstar now....

Talking about superstars, the radio host of the US radio station 99.5fm said Ushers wife basically chose the girls and the outfit for the main girl in his new video "love in this club"......mehn she must really be vicious with her man and insecure, plus i heard on that same radio show that she was asking for nothing less than 2million for the first pictures of her soon to be born child..... can u just imagine that....who does she think she is?? she aint no celebrity... shes not like TOMKAT(tom Cruise and Katie Holmes), BRANGELINA(brad pit and Angelina Jolie)who were given huge sums of money for the first pix of their child.......mehn... who the "f"uge does she think she is..lol... i am already not liking her at all. Shes married to Usher thats all. I really hope he signed a prenuptial..i really feel he should have just married Chilli. Now he is totally trapped...lol..eyahh for him

Speaking of musicians..... foxy brown is finally outta jail...as for T.I, he is under house arrest for a year, he must have really felt like an American gangster in real life. Its true what people say, roles people act in movies kinda transcends into real life.

PINKandPruffles,how i love theeee...lol its a new underwear line thats going to shake Nigeria, y'all should give support. Talking about fashion line, i think Cranberry is doing a greattt job, i totally love their clothings, very couture and cranberryyyyyy...lol check out their STILL fashion show in Newyork.






Has anyone seen the new trekker-like shoes, dont really like it tho, i think its ugly, only a Beyonce can pull it off, well you can find the shoes at Bakers.com.



Lauren Conrad(LC) of the reality show, The hills started her clothing line a yr ago, and she recently just won clothing line of the month by Peoples magazine, love, love Lauren. Cant talk about Lauren without talking about Heidi, well she and her hubby-to-be are thinking of starting their own reality show, newly weds..gosh, thats gonna be a disaster,its quite obvious that they may not last that long.

Its only in America that i know they don't let the dead rest in peace...lol i mean they keep fishing out dirt or trying to find out one thing or the other about a dead celebrity, e.g Heath ledger, princess D and now Mariyln monroe.... someone is allegedly stating that they have her sex tape or rather it has been sold for a million...can the dead rest in peace jeeezzzz

The Papal visit

His Holiness, Pope BenedictXVI visited the US yesterday, April 15th, 2008. This is his first visit to the United States since he was made Pope. He was met by President Bush, his wife and daughter. His holiness will discuss several political and religious issues which will include topics like the war in Iraq and the sex scandal within the catholic church.

I was very opportuned to have been in the same state(Washington DC) in which his holiness was in. A ceremony and mini parade were conducted for him.The Ceremony was held in the white house and had well over 700 invited guests. The parade was for all, but i could not make it tho(laziness is very bad). This parade was held around the white house as well The Catholic University of America....

I decided to watch it on tv anywayz. Being catholic, i was very excited as i feel the Pope is the representation of christ here on earth. As he wove his hands gracefully while being driven past the crowd, you could not but help listen to the clamors of the crowd. Individuals were crying, yelling his name at the top of their voices and also taking pictures.

I had never seen security as tight as that before. In the midst were the secret service agents down to the very normal police.Even the Pope's Mercedes car was very secured. It was bullet proof to prevent haters/assassins/snipers from trying to gun him down.

Am sure most of you are knowledgeable of the 2assasination attempts of Pope John Paul II in the 80's where he survived a bullet shot and missed a bayonnet stab from a sociopath.

Hope his holiness visit, Pope BenedictXVI will turn out to be a fruitful and safe one. May God continue to bless him

PATRICK SWAYZE!

Am very sure most of you remember who Patrick Swazye is......hes the sexy looking dancer, actor from the movie Dirty Dancing?????? He was unfortunately diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. This is very sad to hear, however am glad to say that he is responding well to treatment.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers amongst every other cancer. This is because the symptoms do not come early enough which ends up leading to an advanced disease at the time of the diagnosis. Its been discovered that 5% of the people with that disease have up to 5years survival rate.....and this 5% includes those who have been diagnosed early enough. In other words what i am trying to say is that since my dearest Patrick was diagnosed quite late, he has a little less than 5years to live. This is very shocking and when i heard this news i was just filled with grief. There were even rumors saying that he just had 2more weeks to leave. Can you just imagine that.

Hence, i am dedicating this write up to him. He really needs your prayers and support. Below is a mailing address where you can send a card, postcard or a little note to show him all the love and support. Be you in NIgeria, England, Eygpt;) you can show the man some love.

WE LOVE YOU PATRICK SWAYZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
