When she left for Nigeria on December 31, Mosley told her 15 year-old daughter she would return in a month. Mosley’s children are ages 1, 7, 8, 9, 15 and 16, Jordan said. The other two children found in the home were 3 and 4 year-olds the family cared for on behalf of a single father who worked, Jordan said.
The 9 year-old son told authorities he and the baby ate a still-frozen pizza for breakfast the morning they were discovered home alone. There were no diapers, baby food or formula for the infant, no sheets on beds and fruit was rotting in a basket.

yipee,am no 1....... dat woman who left her kids must be either mad or love struck silly.anyways nothing new under d sun.... have a fab week linda
ReplyDeleteThe news about the mother that left her 8 kids makes me very mad.Some of these women because of man palavar will do anything.I'm pretty sure that she's hoping that the man will marry her or better still she's already carrying baby no 9. I'm sorry to say o, but she's very foolish
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda!
ReplyDeleteheard bout this whole tuface thing again!!armed robbers want to finish the guy sa!
ReplyDeleteWho do you know Miz Jackson is?
ReplyDeleteronaldo is not yet the most expensive player! hes not yet upto beckham, beckham receives half-a-million pounds a week.!
ReplyDeleteNice one - thanks
ReplyDeleteWith our Romeo; Tuface. (Linda is laughing.)
ReplyDeleteThey are either 2 things, one, it could be that death is knocking at his door, God forbid - but from the look of things going on in his side, there is an element of truth in my statement.
Secondly, it could be a publicity stunt, as in, he is trying to get back on the throne. 'Cause i tell ya... da music industry in Naija is just taking it to a different level.
So, if one's levels as a musician is beginning to be questionable, omo! Ma mi! Nobody cares to know, o! One gats to dey evolve. You know whaaat i am saying!
So. Tuface inorder words is doing sthg different to reclaim his throne by being in the news all, if not, most of the time.
To identify a music legend he or she has to be releasing albums every single year whether they like it or not. That is the art of the game.
Music industry is fun and then again it is hard.
Tuface should just take it easy both in his private and professional lives. Especially in his private life. He should respect the women in his lives even when they are not respecting themselves. Two wrongs can never make a right. No matter what.
(Linda nwa mama i am beginning to preach, pls, forgive me.)
It is just that this Tuface sheananigan, (i hope i got the spelling, right) is getting tired and old; abeg, what else is new?
Let him, pls, focus on a charity work or sthg like Matthew Mensah, Obaro Ibru, Femi Amure and the rest or work with children, you know, do sthg positive, (not comparing him to them, just pointing out what they are doing, which is positive, as they are celebrities in their own right, as well.)
Him being educated or not does not have anything with him giving back to the massess that have being supportive of his career since it's inception. As he, also, is a UN Ambassador, (don't know much about the details, as i read it somewhere on the internet.)
Yea... yea... "there are haters out there," we all know the saying, but then again, some people do hate and they get it back as well. I am not accusing anyone of anything, pls, don't get me wrong - just saying.
Anyway...enough of my writing and thanks, Linda, for giving me the space to do just that. I really appreciate it.
Its funny, here i am in a Oklahoma City hotel headed for 9ja, and i hear Tuface's Range Rover Sport(damn!) been stolen in Anthony Village in Lagos! someone should analyze these his run-ins with armed robbers. One of his baby mamas (or some other hooptie?) must be mad at him.
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteWhere do u get the energy to post all these things, babe u dey try o! Well done jare bcos is not easy updating my blog so i must comment ur effort. I check ur blog daily b4 i check my mail.
My comments are strictly on the Nigerian matters.
That mother of 8 is not only stupid but out of her mind. She lives in a ghetto with her 8 kids and still had money to fly to Naija to marry one mumu? I know she was 419ed so the question of say she did not pay her way down did not arise.
Buhari allegations is no longer news as if we don't know that already.
Former Governor of Abia State, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu, instituting a N500 million suit against a columnist, Abdul Rasaque Bello-Barkindo, Leaders & Company Limited, publishers of THISDAY newspapers for alleged defamation, is not only laughable but stupid. Is the same man that has been commiting the same offence on others especially Obasanjo (I am not his fan but...) in his Sun Newspapers. He cannot win this case if we have bright lawyers they will feed him with his own medicine.
TuFace pray to God o! These attacks might not be ordinary o! You have to also learn to return all glory to God for your successes by living a life worth emulating by are numerous youth who are you fans.
Enjoy ur week and have a blessed
I wouldn't be surprised if one of his baby mamas is setting his hoe ass up with these robberies, or he's not simply not security conscious at all.
ReplyDeleteBut come Linda, what's up with the random photos in the middle of news about others?
i see sumone has been taking a look at my blog...
ReplyDeleteYour blog has more to read than most offline society magazines in Nigeria.
ReplyDeleteOn the African American woman who abandoned her little kids for a love trip to Nigeria.
She was love crazy.
Good men are scarce in America.
She was a fool for love. But she is not alone.
One African American woman paid two teenage boys $5, 000 to fxxk her.
Sorry, I have to use the X-rated fxxk instead of sex, because there is a big difference in having sex and to fxxk.
Men can also be desperate for women.
Linda, see this Love Bug fever about a basketball coach in Abuja.
The world is full of love crazy people.
