Beyonce wore prosthetic belly at MTV VMAs? Really MTO?

Mediatakeout.com is claiming that Beyonce wore prosthetic belly at the VMAs..

Here's how they are reporting it...

According to a Top Industry Insider, the word Behind The Scenes at the VMAs was that Beyonce was wearing a prosthetic belly.

Our insider claims that Beyonce is in fact pregnant. But that she is not in her second trimester - she's only a little more than 8 WEEKS pregnant. Tells the insider, "She wanted the announcement to be dramatic, so she made sure she had a baby bump."

Really MTO? But then if you look at the photo on the right, taken a few days ago, you can clearly see Beyonce's obvious baby bump, and it doesn't look like - a little more than eight weeks pregnant.

Haters!...:-)

No Nigerian has been attacked or harrassed in Libya - Foreign Minister

Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Olugbenga Ashiru, says no Nigerian has been attacked or harassed by rebel forces in Libya.

You see the problem with this country? How can a govt help its citizen if it doesn't even believe there's a problem? So our minister has not been watching all the reports on international media platforms about black Africans, including Nigerians being slaughtered, imprisoned and harassed in Libya?

God help us...!

"I don't believe in mariage" - Seun Anikulapo - Kuti

"I don;t believe in the institution of marriage because marriage is a piece of paper. People marry and divorce every day as if it means nothing. People only get married these days to appease societal values, to please family members or to get political post. I think marriage in the modern sense of the word has lost it's traditional integrity. Married men and women are flirting all over the place, what then is the point? Why are you saying you are married? Just remain single and flirt around. Marriage is not in my agenda at all." - Seun Kuti

You agree with him?

Gunmen attack Daddy Showkey again

Less than a month after some unidentified gunmen visited his home in Ojodu and killed one of his aides (if you missed it, read it here), music star, John Asiemo, popularly known as Daddy Showkey, was again attacked on Thursday Sept 1, 2011, just three days after he came back from Delta, where he had escaped to after the first attack.

He tells Chidimma Obionwo of Encomium magazine...

These people are not armed robbers. Their aim is to take my life. They came to my house on that Thursday at around 1:30am and stayed till 3pm but couldn't enter my house because of the guard dogs barking continuously. They shot sporadically into the air for an hour and a half before they left. The matter has been reported at Ojodu Police HQ and the DPO has been sending his men to monitor my area since the incident. My next plan is to relocate my family. But for me, I will not abandon my house because of them.

Edo businessman, Rodney Ogagba, kidnapped in Lagos

 

What's with all these kidnappings naw, what's all this? Another person has been kidnapped in Lagos. His name Rodney Ogagba From Edo State. He was kidnapped on Saturday Morning September 3 at Alausa, Ikeja, just infront of Marwa Garden gate.

Mr Ogagba just returned From the US and was planning to open his new club right behind Sheraton, Ikeja. No contact from the kidnappers yet.

The question on my mind now is; how do these kidnappers know who to kidnap? They can't just pick people up randomly, so they must have done some kind of background check on their potential victims, and how do they get all the information they need? It has to be from an inside source. Family members, friends, colleagues of victims...

Abi, what do you guys think?
