Royal Baby: Japanese zoo apologises for naming its new monkey after Princess Charlotte

A Japanese zoo has apologised for naming a baby monkey Charlotte after complaints that it is disrespectful to the British people.

Mt Takasaki Wild Monkey Park ran a public poll from 27 March to name the monkey - something it traditionally does for its first macaque born each year.

At first, Kei, which means "light", was the front runner.

But, after the naming of Britain's new princess earlier this week, the name Charlotte made a late surge and was chosen.

Not all Japanese people were impressed, however, with the zoo receiving complaints branding the choice as "rude to the British people".

The zoo responded by saying: "We deeply apologise for causing trouble to many people over the naming of the first baby (monkey).

"We take these opinions seriously."

A zoo official added: "The name was publicly solicited and Charlotte suddenly became the most popular choice - with 59 votes out of the total 853 - after the British baby princess's name was announced.

"Since we announced the name we've been receiving calls and emails from people mostly complaining that it is rude to British people."

He said the zoo, which is in southwestern Oita, on the island of Kyushu, is now considering the idea of choosing another name for the monkey.

John Fashanu Is A Chronic Lair, Broke And Fraudulent -Adaeze Yobo’s Mum

Adaeze Yobo’s mum, Abigail Igwe has responded to the allegations by her estranged husband, John Fashanu..He has accused her of being a lesbian, not working and being violent .But, In a chat withencomium,she paints a very different picture..Read excerpts


All the things he told you are lies. No media house that wants to survive should listen to John Fashanu.He’s a chronic liar. He’s a drowning man who is looking for another person to drown with. Is it a man that should be ranting or a woman? He’s the one that is hurt that I kicked him out. Who does not know him?
I was ashamed that I lived with such a man. I didn’t know what to say. People will say were you not told? Is it a secret that he’s like that? I’m not such a loud person. That’s why I quietly closed the chapter.

I kicked him out so many times
I’ve kicked him out so many times. He kept doing a lot of things. It was about fraud initially. He was continually defrauding people. That he had a wife that is a lawyer.
He defrauded many footballers, we saw him on TV. N2 million from them, from poor families.He threatened them with guns. And they’d be crying.I kept kicking him out of my house. It was few months after, about a year., That I first kicked him out.

He came to Abuja with only his bags

He came to Abuja without anything. I took him in. He didn’t buy any car for me.
I kicked him out two years ago. He moved into his house, four blocks of flats.He completed the house while living there. He used their money to build that house, the money of those footballers he defrauded.

He was stalking me, scribbling things on my car

He was drawing things on my car. He was caught when he came at night.He was stalking me. He would come in the morning, and draw my attention to the damage.And tell me that I needed his protection. That I couldn’t live alone.Such a thing has never happened in our estate.He was caught and he apologized. Two years ago.I forgave him.

Why l was never Mrs Fashanu

My name is actually Abigail Igwe. He reported me to some people..
He stole my passport, that I should change my name to Fashanu. That was when l wanted to renew my passport in July 2014.He was angry.Within me, the marriage had ended. That was why l was reluctant.

We actually got married

We were at the registry in 2011. We have our certificate. I didn’t change my name. I didn’t find it necessary to change.
We started first of all as business partners. He needed me to find his feet in Abuja.
Later on, he said he never saw a woman like me before. That I was calm, unlike other women.That he wanted to marry me. He talked to my pastor friends, that he’s in love with me.We met in 2008. My daughter was still MBGN.He made me believe that he couldn’t do without me. He was pretending that he liked the way I pray. That I should lead him to Christ.

He said he psychologically killed his brother, Justin

That he was bad to the extent that he psychologically killed his brother.
That the brother was mean to him. The brother didn’t allow him to shine. That people thought he was Justin. That he needed his brother out of the way. He back bit his brother.
He then told me that during Justin’s burial he stood behind after. They thought he was mourning. But he was laughing, that he felt happier that his brother committed suicide.That, at last, he can have his way, now shine.That attack is the best form of defence. I told him that the world is not a football pitch.

I take it that l never married him

It’s a lie. I’ve never been married twice before him. You should have asked him what’s the name of my second husband.That guy is a manipulator. I’m not a mean person. He presented many characters.
When I kick him out, he calls everybody and beg and harass. He would now come and say it’s the way he was brought up.
He’s chameleon. Everybody knows John Fashanu is a chameleon. I made up my mind, and kicked him out in April 2014. He went to complain to my pastor. He told my pastor that I’d not slept with him for one year. That we should pray.My pastor said this woman can’t sleep with you because of what you’ve done. That if he did all these things to another woman you’d be killed.I never lived with him in his house. He was the one who lived with me.

He didn’t pay the rent of N2.5 million

He didn’t pay the rent of N2.5 million. He was chased out from Lagos, and came with his bag. He lied that all the hotels in Abuja were fully booked. And I laughed.I had a visitor, who told me to allowhim. That you should give him your visitor’s room. He started living with me and my children. That was 2009. We had started dating and doing business.

He plotted to marry me

Before I got married, he was targeting marriage. He didn’t have money, he pretended very well.He told me to assist him. That he’s changing. He was professing so much love.
I never wanted to marry him until he started pressurizing.
I told him that the relationship was affecting my Christianity. That we should end the relationship. That was when he started going around my pastors. I gave in to his pressure.

I was the one paying the rent
I was the one paying the rent. I gave him food, money and shelter. He didn’t have any money.From the business, we made money and we paid the rent.He doesn’t know where I live now.

I have always worked

Is that not funny, that I never worked? How do I take care of my children? They are in school in UK and America. He never added a kobo to their fees or upkeep. He doesn’t take care of his children, not to talk of mine. You already know he’s lying.I don’t work, but I’ve helped him find his feet. How else would I assist any person?

I got him a N25 million contract
Two years ago, after I noticed how he defrauded footballers, I felt bad. I called him. He’s very violent, and was shouting.I went to a place, and sought for a job. I wanted money to take the boys abroad. To organise a talent hunt to send the people abroad.
I went to the office of Millennium Development Goals, they gave us a job for N25 million. I used his papers, and they gave us the job in Abuja. I was given N25m to do the job. In the contract, I included that we would send 20 boys to football clubs in Europe.
And buy a car to run around. When the money came (into his account), he didn’t want to do anything.
I pressurized, and he bought the car. That’s the car he’s claiming he bought for me. We used the car to run around.
This man did not send anyone abroad. Even the boys he defrauded, he didn’t. The talent hunt was to help the boys.I felt bad.

He cheated me out of a property

There’s a land he wanted to build an academy. He tried, and he didn’t succeed. Eventually, he included my name in the document, and we finally got the land.We applied for 10, we were given 7 acres.To my amazement, he changed the document to another company’s. My name was not in the new papers.All these toiling came to naught.This happened two years ago. I couldn’t talk. He’s veryaggressive. His reply was attack.

I am not a lesbian, he never caught me with anybody

This is ridiculous. He didn’t catch me with anybody. Because he’s going to court, he’s looking for anything.
I had prepared for divorce last year. The lawyer had prepared everything.
I got log of my calls from MTN. He was the one that called me from Colombia.
I caught him with two women. One was our maid.
I caught them in my house. I travelled and came back. He didn’t know.He swore not to give me divorce. That he would frustrate me.
He’s a serial househelp sex abuser. He slept with his maid in London. He told me that his girlfriend in Lagos accused him of sleeping with the maid.He was the one that said so.

I caught him with my maid in bed

The first one was in my house red-handed. I was travelling, and he said he wanted to live in my house. That he would miss me.
I came back, accompanied by my friend. She was driving. I was looking for evidence. I told her that I was getting ready for divorce.When we came in and opened the door, I caught them naked. The house girl is Igbo, and she ran. I called her came back. I spoke in Igbo. I told her that this man is shit. I cannot go back to him, that she should not worry. When the girl asked if I had forgiven her, I said yes. I said she should go back.
She said the cook had warned her to stop sleeping with John.
How can a man say his wife stole N1 million? He should be ashamed. He used to steal my money. I never asked him.
I told my friend to pick the maid’s trousers and slippers…They were all ashamed. My friend picked the items and ran.
John chased my friend – and in the process, bashed my car. My friend kept running. I needed the evidence to go to court.
He later called my pastor. That he should calm me down. My pastor said I should forget about him. That I should leave him. That the trouble was too much.
He told my pastor that I should not go to court now. That I should allow the separation first. He went to pastor to ask him to beg that I should come back. My pastor can testify.

I am not violent

There was no violence. I’m not a violent person. Everybody knows I’m tolerant and peaceful. If I were violent, John Fashanu couldn’t marry me.
On one occasion, about police inviting me. I kicked him out of my house.
I told him that before I come back from church, I should not meet him. He stole some things. So, I went with my son to his uncompleted house. He took my jewels. My son told him to bring those things. He tried to fight my 15 year-old son. He brought a sword, and it cut his fingers. My son ran away.The sword cut his hand. I left. I said I was going to the police. But I went home, instead of going to police.He now ran to police. And told them that my son injured him.

I moved to a new house because he was stalking me
I moved because he was stalking me. He would come around, and park and come as soon as he saw me.He would come and peep through my window.
I decided to move. So that he could get used to not seeing me.
I sent him a text on December 9. I wanted my peace. That was why I relinquished the land and all…He sent a picture of himself in his kitchen. That he had renovated the whole house. That I could now come backThat he wanted me back ( in January 2015).He lives in one flat. It is four blocks of flats…

He’s ranting like a woman

He’s talking like a woman, and I’m only refuting his allegations. I don’t want to expose him.I’ve not told you anything yet, until I get to court.When I get to court I will unveil more.

I’m not contesting the divorce

It’s a good thing that he has gone to court. He should even go and finish the case by himself, and bring the certificate.
I’m not contesting anything. He should have informed me about the divorce if he’s a sane man.What he’s doing is what women do.
Let them finish the divorce, I can only be in court when I’m called. Without that, I don’t need to be in court.
After all, we don’t have children together.

Animal activists crash Kim Kardashian's book signing and call her 'a disgusting human being'

Yesterday, Kim Kardashian went for the book signing of her Selfish at Barnes and Noble and she banned her fans from taking selfies. But that event was not completely reported until the bold Animal Rights Activists in New York shared their version on the Animal Newyork website.

About ten activists crashed the event, chanting insults, waving their banners and even threatening to jump her until the police had to break it up. Kim K sat through all of it.

“I just want to say, you are the most disgusting human being on this planet,” one of them said.

“Shame on you for supporting the fur industry!” They yelled.

And luckily, they were shooed away without any more scenes, unlike in 2012 when they flour-bombed her on her way to launch her perfume.

How Kris Jenner reportedly slept with her son-in-law Lamar Odom

Khloe has been reportedly to be devastated on hearing that her mother, Kris Jenner was allegedly caught in bed with Lamar Odom in an hotel room. 

As if it wasn’t already hard enough to learn that her husband, Lamar Odom, had cheated on her with multiple alleged mistresses in 2013, it’s now being reported that her 59 year-old mother was hooking up with him, too! Hearing the allegations led to an emotional confrontation between Khloe and Kris.

Months after Khloe filed for divorce from Lamar in 2013, Kris met up with her son-in-law so they could share each other’s pain (at the time, she was newly-separated from Bruce Jenner), Star Magazine reports. But it turned into much more, and one of Lamar’s other mistresses claims she actually walked in on the NBA star and Kardashian matriarch in bed together — naked!

Khloe was absolutely distraught upon hearing the allegations, and confronted her mom about it. ‘She had to. Of course, Kris denied everything and told her she was being ridiculous, but the whole thing has left a bad taste in Khloe’s mouth,’ an insider tells the mag. ‘One moment she’ll be saying she can’t believe anything that happened, then the next she’ll be saying Kris stole her husband and ruined her life.’

Kylie Jenner, 17, Finally Admits to "Temporary Lip Fillers" -- See Why She Did It!

Finally.

After months of speculation, Kylie Jenner has confirmed one of her worst-kept secrets -- her lips aren't totally natural.

In a sneak peek clip at Sunday's "Keeping Up with the Kardashians," we see the youngest Jenner daughter freak out after a reporter asks her about all lip service over her plump pout. While Kylie vows she'll never "deny or confirm anything," her sister Khloe does it for her -- revealing all in a confessional.

"Kylie decided to plump her lips and I don't think there's anything wrong with that," she says to the camera. "I think if you've done something though, it is right to cop up to it. If you avoid a question, you're going to look like a liar."

have temporary lip fillers, it's just an insecurity of mine and it's what I wanted to do," she says. "Everyone always picks us apart. I want to admit to the lips, but people are so quick to judge me on everything, so I might have tiptoed around the truth, but I didn't lie."

E! was actually the outlet who asked the reality star about her lips at the event above.

At the time, the 17-year-old told them, "I feel like everyone has been talking about it for months, so I'm kind of sick of it. My pictures, I pout them out a lot. I think big lips are awesome. I love lip liner and over lining my lips. I don't even care anymore. I'm like whatever, just say whatever you want.

Salman Khan: The Bollywood Star Has Been Sentenced To 5yrs In Jail

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been sentenced to five years in jail for crashing his car into a group of homeless people, killing one man.

A judge in India convicted the 49-year-old of culpable homicide over the hit-and-run, which happened at the end of a night out drinking in Mumbai in 2002.

Khan, who had blamed his driver for the crash, faced a maximum sentence of 10 years.

Khan, who has starred in more than 100 movies and TV shows, had pleaded not guilty.

Bollywood studios could now lose more than $31m (£20m), as they may be forced to cancel the blockbusters Khan was due to appear in.

The case has sparked debate over the judicial process in India, with some criticising how rich and powerful defendants can circumvent justice even after a heinous crime.

Khan is likely to apply for bail and launch an appeal, but because the sentence is more than three years the court has no jurisdiction to grant bail.

Ace broadcaster, Funmi Iyanda appointed United Nations gender equality champion

The United Nations (UN) has just appointed Nigerian broadcaster, Funmi Iyanda as one of the global organisation’s gender equality champions, as it celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995.

The gender equality champions are described by the UN as “women and men who have made gender equality and women’s empowerment their cause and mission in life.”

Funmi Iyanda expressed her delight on Twitter:

Concerning Funmi Iyanda, who the UN describes as using the airwaves to galvanise equality, the organisation said:

“Award-winning journalist, broadcaster and TV personality, Funmi Iyanda hosts “Talk with Funmi,” a show that traverses her native country of Nigeria talking to people across society about the issues that matter most to them. Popular throughout the country, she was named one of 2015’s 20 Youngest Power African Women by Forbes magazine, and also as one of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders. She has made it her mission to encourage women to be vocal across all spheres of life, including in the 2015 elections. From being the Tutu Fellow at the prestigious African Leadership Institute to a fellowship at the ASPEN Institute’s African Leadership Initiative, her tireless work has generated many honours.” 

 Funmi is also quoted to have said:

“Gender inequality is humanity’s wilful handicap. It makes no sense. The full evolution of our species will never occur without equal participation.”

Congratulations to Funmi Iyanda.

8 More Nigerians To Be Executed In Indonesia - Group Alerts FG

A Group, United Nigerians In Diaspora, UNID, has called on the Federal Government to prevail on the Indonesian government to stay action on its plans to execute eight more Nigerian citizens for drug related offences.

Briefing newsmen in Lagos, the group’s president, Mr. Paschal Okolie, condemned what it described as the poor attitude of the government towards the recent execution of four Nigerians in Indonesia.

Okolie who gave names of those awaiting further execution as, Michael Titus Igwe, Kingsley Okonkwo, Uchenna Onyewuru, Eugene Ape, Hunphery Ejike, Obinna Nwajiagu, Benjamin Onuoha and Ikenna Abanukwu, said, ”Nigerian Embassy in Indonesia is longer concerned with passport renewals than the welfare or security of Nigerians. Those Nigerians killed were not giving fair trial, there is language barrier which made it impossible for them to defend themselves properly, Nigerian embassy did not even send representatives to court to assist them, so they were left at the mercy of Indonesia which was bent on killing them.”

‘’Most times Nigerians are thrown into prisons for more than four months without anyone knowing about it. They are tortured and some even die in the process. The way a country treats her citizens, is a reflection of how the citizens will be treated in foreign lands. Therefore, we feel it is high time our government rose to the occasion to ameliorate the plight of its citizens.’’

We use this opportunity to appeal to the youth, to beware of the kind of friendships they keep as well as activities they engage themselves. One of the reasons there are many young Nigerians in prisons in different countries of the world today, is due to get rich quick syndrome, fast track. But in the end, they lose everything including their lives.”

Footballer Emmanuel Adebayor Clears The Air On Several Allegations Laid On Him By His Family

31-year-old striker, Emmanuel Adebayor was in the news last year for allegedly calling his mother a witch and kicking her out of his house. His other family members also accused him of not taking care of them. 

The footballer carefully took time to reveal all that happened between himself and his family via his Facebook page. 

Read below :

A couple years ago, I bought a house in East Lagon (Ghana) for $1.2 million. I found it normal to let my older sister, Yabo Adebayor stay in that house. I also allowed my half brother (Daniel) to stay in the same house. A few months later, I was on vacation and decided to go to that house. At my surprise, I saw many cars in the driveway. In fact, my sister decided to rent out the house without me knowing. She also kicked Daniel out of that house. Note that the house had about 15 rooms. When I called her and asked for explanation, she took about 30 minutes to abuse and insult me over the phone. I called my mother to explain the situation and she did the same as my sister. This same sister says I am ungrateful. Ask her about the car she is driving or anything she is selling today?

My brother Kola Adebayor, has now been in Germany for 25 years. He travelled back home about 4 times, at my expense. I fully cover the cost of his children's education. When I was in Monaco, he came to me and asked for money to start a business. Only God knows how much I gave him. Where is that business today?

When our brother Peter passed away, I sent Kola a great amount of money so he could fly back home. He never showed up at the burial. And today that same brother (Kola) is telling people that I am involved in Peter's death. How? He is the same brother who went and told inaccurate stories about our family to "The Sun" in other to take some money. They also sent a letter to my Club when I was in Madrid so I could get fired.

When I was in Monaco I thought it would be good to have a family of footballers. So I made sure my brother Rotimi gets into a football academy in France. Within a few months; out of 27 players, he stole 21 phones.

I would not say any anything about my brother Peter Adebayor because he is not here today. May his soul rest in peace. 
My sister Lucia Adebayor keeps telling people that my dad told me to bring her to Europe. But what would be the purpose to bring her to Europe ? Everyone is here for a reason. 
I was in Ghana when I received the news about my brother Peter being seriously ill. I drove the fastest I could to Togo in order to meet him and help. When I arrived, my mother said I could not see him and I should just give the money and she would solve everything. Only God knows how much I gave her that day. People are saying I didn't do anything to save my brother, Peter. Am I a fool to drive 2 hours to Togo for nothing?

I organized a meeting in 2005 to solve our family issues. When I asked them about their opinion, they said I should build each family member a house and give each of them a monthly wage. 
Today I am still alive and they have already shared all my goods, just in case I die. 
For all these reasons, it took very long for me to set up my foundation in Africa. Every time I try to help the people in need, they had to question me and all of them thought it was a bad idea. 
If I am writing this, the main purpose is not to expose my family members. I just want other African families to learn from this. Thank you.

Salman Khan: Bollywood actor found guilty of killing homeless man in hit-and-run

Bollywood star Salman Khan has been found guilty of killing a homeless man in a hit-and-run in Mumbai.

Khan was charged with culpable homicide over the 2002 incident, where five homeless people including the victim were run over. Three were also seriously injured.

Prosecutors accused Khan pf slamming into the homeless people after losing control of his Toyota Land Cruiser following an evening spent drinking at an upmarket bar.

The actor claimed his driver had been driving at the time but a judge in the Mumbai court on Wednesday ruled Khan was behind the wheel and had been drinking before the crash.

His driver testified in court last month that he had been behind the wheel and crashed the vehicle because a tyre had burst, AFP reports.

However, a constable attached to his security team contradicted this version of events and said Khan was intoxicated and lost control of the car.

Khan also faces charges of negligent driving and causing grievous harm to the victims, according to the Press Trust of India.

He could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. The 49-year-old can appeal the decision, meaning the case could drag on for years.

Khan has appeared in more than 80 Hindi-language films during his 27-year career. The Associated Pressreports that he also has several films in the pipelines and projects worth an estimated 2.5 billion rupees (£26 million).

Diddy tops Forbes list of 'Hip-Hop's Wealthiest Artists 2015'

Forbes has unveiled its list of hip-hop's five wealthiest artists for 2015 and it was a big battle between Dr. Dre and Diddy.

After selling off his Beats By Dre headphone line to Apple, the super producer pocketed $500 million after taxes to bring his net worth to an estimate $700 million. Still, he's not the richest man in hip-hop. Diddy is, according to Forbes, with an estimated net worth of $735 million.

Diddy's empire includes huge stakes in his TV network Revolt, clothing line Sean John, alkaline water brand Aquahydrate, and new tequila DeLeon, while Dre's overall net worth is credited to the nine-figure payout he received from Apple's acquisition of Beats.

Jay Z comes in third with an estimated net worth of $550 million, due to assets such as Roc Nation and his Armand De Brignac champagne brand.

50 Cent comes in fourth with $155 million, hoping to repeat the success of the Vitaminwater sale, via stakes in the SMS Audio headphones line, Effen Vodka and Frigo underwear.

Closing out the list is Birdman with $150 million, due to the success of his Cash Money Records empire. However, his overall number is down from $160 in 2014, due to rumors that many of its big acts plan on leaving, most notably, Lil Wayne.

Now you know who the wealthiest hip hop artists are at the moment.

Abortion Can Lead To Cancer - FACH warns

The Foundation for Africa Cultural Heritage (FACH) president, Dr Nkechi Asogwa has warned that abortion can lead to breast cancer in women.  According to her many cases of breast cancer have been linked to the aftermath of an abortion.

“When you terminate a pregnancy you end many ongoing processes in the body such as the preparation of breast for the secretion of milk. So the tissues that were cut off suddenly would become fragile and they can trigger the formation of cancerous cells in the breast.

‘’There are about five health implications attached to most of these drugs and that was why they were banned in the West. But here, no one is asking questions, ’’ she said.

Sambisa forest onslaught: Rescued women, children now 1,000

With about three weeks to the May 29, 2015  time frame given by the military to totally clear Sambisa forest of the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists, it was yesterday,gathered that the number of women, young ladies and children rescued by special forces has hit 1,000, Vanguard reports.

Military sources disclosed that consequent on the pursuit of the terrorists and the sustained air and land bombardments, the terrorists have become tired of running away with many of the women particularly the younger ladies still in the possession.

The attempt to continue running with the ladies is made worse by the fact that the limited vehicles and trucks in their possession with which they have been ferrying the women and girls, have become a problem following the bursting of their fuel supply source.
