Justin Bieber deletes Instagram account after committing online hara-kiri ...

In the 1970s, an angry, maligned rock star would throw his television out of his hotel window, but Justin Bieber has gone for the millennial-style nuclear option — deleting his Instagram account. 

The baby-faced Canadian musician, 22, committed online hara-kiri after becoming upset by a barrage of negative comments about his new friendship with Sofia Richie. 

LOS ANGELES, CA – DECEMBER 03: 

Singer Justin Bieber performs onstage during KIIS FM’s 2012 Jingle Ball at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live on December 3, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

 /AFP The pair have been pictured stepping out together several times in recent weeks, amid a frenzy of rumors linking them romantically. 

Reacting to insults posted by fans alongside pictures of the 17-year-old model — singer Lionel Richie’s daughter — Bieber told his 77 million followers: 

“I’m gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don’t stop the hate. 

“This is getting out of hand, if you guys are really fans you wouldn’t be so mean to people that I like...

 But the millionaire singer appears to have gone a step further, as clicking on links to his Instagram page now yields an error message. 

Fellow singer Selena Gomez, Bieber’s former girlfriend, took the opportunity to twist the knife before the account was deleted. 

“If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol — it should be special between you two only,” the 24-year-old posted. 

“Don’t be mad at your fans. They love you. They were there for you before anyone...

“It’s funny to see people that used me for attention and still try to point the finger this way. 

Sad. 

All love,” Bieber countered. 

“Funny how the ones that cheated multiple times, are pointing the finger at the ones that were forgiving and supportive, no wonder fans are mad.

 Sad. 

All love,” Gomez retaliated. 

Bieber is the latest in a series of celebrities dealing with abuse on social media by closing their accounts. 

Actress and comedian Leslie Jones quit Twitter temporarily in June — devastated by a torrent of racist and sexist abuse aimed at her by trolls. 

Bieber recently shut his Snapchat account too, and announced in May that he would no longer be taking pictures with fans in public. 

“It has gotten to the point that people won’t even say hi to me or recognize me as a human,” he wrote on Instagram. 

“I feel like a zoo animal, and I wanna be able to keep my sanity...

 Bieber and Gomez dated for almost two years from January 2011, but spilt up citing busy schedules. 

Some fans interpreted “Sorry,” from Bieber’s album “Purpose,” which came out in November last year, as a message from the former child star to Gomez. 

Bieber has had a string of legal run-ins for incidents including throwing eggs at a neighbor’s house, driving under the influence of alcohol without a license and allegedly assaulting a photographer...

I am not running against Crooked Hillary Clinton, media -Trump...

Donald Trump, clearly angered by news reports that he has grown depressed and sullen over his fading presidential prospects, has issued some of his sharpest attacks on the media. 

I am not running against Crooked Hillary Clinton,” the Republican presidential candidate said in a speech late Saturday in Fairfield, Connecticut. “I’m running against the crooked media.

” TRUMP 

Trump seemed particularly upset with a New York Times article that quotes unnamed associates of his as saying that in private “his mood is often sullen and erratic.

Republicans close to his campaign were quoted as saying he was “exhausted, frustrated and still bewildered” by the political process. 

The real estate tycoon returned to his message on Sunday, tweeting: 

My rallies are not covered properly by the media. They never discuss the real message and never show crowd size or enthusiasm.

 Later, amid a flurry of further tweets on the subject, he added: 

It is not ‘freedom of the press’ when newspapers and others are allowed to say and write whatever they want even if it is completely false!” Trump has complained for months about media coverage. 

He has stripped a long list of news organizations — including the New York Times, Buzzfeed, Politico and the Washington Post — of their credentials, and vowed that as president he would make it easier to sue news outlets. 

But media monitors say he has received more extensive coverage than any candidate in years. A prominent American journalist, James Fallows of The Atlantic magazine, suggested Trump’s very criticism reflected a degree of desperation, tweeting on Sunday: 

I’ve seen winning campaigns and losing ones. 100% Iron Law: 

campaign saying ‘our problem is the media’ is campaign on way down.

But Paul Manafort, the Trump campaign chairman, pushed back against that notion during an appearance Sunday on CNN, saying, “The campaign is moving forward and very strong. 

We raised over $132 million in the last two months...

He noted that Trump had visited key battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida repeatedly and was “starting to get traction in those states...

However, recent polls have shown Trump’s numbers sagging badly in those battleground states, notably hurt by his critical comments about the Muslim parents of a fallen US soldier, and what some saw as his suggestion that “Second Amendment people” — gun lovers — take their dislike for Clinton into their own hands. 

Manafort repeated the Trump claim that his Second Amendment remark was meant purely as an exhortation to vote. 

But even one of Trump’s top advisers, Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, conceded Sunday that the candidate needed to communicate “more effectively.”

 “He’s got to wrestle in his own heart, how does he communicate who he is, what he believes, the change he thinks he can bring to America,” he said on ABC.

 “He does need to communicate — and I think he can — more effectively...

 The CNN interviewer also asked Manafort about mounting pressure on Trump to release his tax returns after Clinton released hers on Friday.

 The channel broadcast video of Trump urging Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate in 2012, to release his returns at the time, saying, “If you didn’t see the tax returns, you would think there is almost, like, something wrong...

 Manafort repeated Trump’s explanation that he is under audit by the Internal Revenue Service. 

“When that’s completed, he’ll release the returns,” Manafort said, adding that Clinton’s returns showed income coming from “people who benefited from her State Department term as well,” referring to her time as secretary of State. 

“I haven’t seen stories on that yet...

37yrs old man jailed 6-months touching girls breast...

By Monsuru Olowoopejo 

An Ikeja magistrate’s Court, weekend, sentenced a 37-year-old man, Ibrahim Abu, to six months imprisonment for touching the breast of a 17-year-old girl (names withheld) without her consent.

 Abu, who lives at 6, Mosque Close, Isheri-Olofin, Lagos State, was arraigned before Magistrate Osusanmi and sentenced last Friday for sexually assaulting the girl Monday last week. 

Vanguard gathered that the girl was asked by her parents to learn hairdressing, while awaiting the release of her Senior Secondary Certificate Examination, SSCE, result. 

It was learned that at 7:30p.m. 

last week Monday, while she was returning home, Abu accosted the victim at Baale Bus Stop Akowonjo, and touched her breast without seeking her consent.

 It was gathered that in retaliation, she slapped Abu and he hit her with a plank; she reportedly fell, became unconscious and was rushed to a hospital. 

Abu was later arrested by policemen attached to Shasha Police Station and the case reported to Domestic, Sexual Violence Response Team, DSVRT. 

Delivering her judgment, Osusanmi said the offence contravened Section 135 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State, 2011. 

File: Reacting over the judgement, Coordinator of DSVRT, Mrs. 

Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, said: 

While we are pleased with this conviction, this case depicts the current height of impunity with which abusers act. 

The success of this conviction can be linked to DSVRT’s early engagement with the concerned victim and collaboration with the police, who despite the pleas and pressures from members of the society, ensured that the case was charged to court. 

The role of the society in encouraging victims to speak out, protect victims and encourage justice is now crucial more than ever..

 …put in Sex 

Offenders’ Register 

Vivour-Adeniyi disclosed that “the defendant’s name and details have been entered into the Sex Offenders Register. 

We, therefore, use this medium to implore members of the society and stakeholders to play their roles in the fight against sexual and gender-based violence...

music-l producers dont even car k-solo laments...

K-solo is undoubtedly one of the music producers who have been instrumental to the success of notable Nigerian artistes like Timaya and Kefee.

 Just the way artistes are recognised and rewarded, K-solo hopes that music producers will get their due recognition. 

The talented music maker made this known in an exclusive chat with Showtime.

Music producers don’t get their due recognition. It’s beyond producing a song.

I started the voice signature concept for the songs I produced before every other producer started it.

 Aside that, we don’t get any other recognition. Check out many artistes in Nigeria, most of them have big houses and drive good cars, but these young music producers have nothing. Most of them don’t even have a car. 

They have produced major hit songs that have built houses for some of these artistes. 

The biggest accolade you get as a music producer is accompanying a popular artiste to an event. That is the end of it. 

In the USA, music producers live like celebrities.

 How many music producers have gotten an endorsement deal aside from Cobhams and Don Jazzy? 

We cannot develop the music industry that way. OJB produced African Queen and he died without an endorsement deal. 

There are only a few of us who have other businesses outside of  music”, he said.

Court suspends PDP's August 17th convention

A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has suspended the National convention of PDP being organized by the Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the party slated for August 17th in Rivers state. 

The embattled factional chairman of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff, had approached the court to seek an interlocutory injunction against the convention.

Makarfi and a member of the National caretaker committee of the party, Ben Obi, had immediately applied that they be joined in Sheriff's suit as co-defendants.

Hearing on their Application was slated for today but Obi had earlier in the day gone to the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High Court where he was able to secure an ex'parte order that INEC and the police participate and monitor the August 17th party convention. 

An angry Justice Okon lambasted Obi for rushing to the Port Harcourt Division of the Federal High Court to obtain the ex parte order.

“Senator Ben Obi cannot treat the court with levity. 

What is the reason for rushing to another court when the court is already seized of this matter?  

I want to point out that a court of coordinate jurisdiction cannot make an order that will neutralise the proceedings of this court. 

The Port Harcourt Division of this court cannot make an order to neutralise the proceedings of this court"he said Futhermore, Justice Okon said "To maintain the dignity and integrity of the court and in the over all interest of justice, taking into consideration the competing claims of the parties, an order is hereby made in the interim suspending the PDP convention slated for August 17, 2016, pending when the plaintiff motion on notice dated July 20 is served and heard” he said.

Pope Francis on Friday, August 12, visited a refugee centre in Rome housing women rescued from forced prostitution as part of his ‘Friday of Mercy’ gestures during this Jubilee Year of Mercy.

During his visit, the Pontiff met with the 20 women rescued from the sex trade who were trafficked from their countries, including Nigeria, Romania, Albania,Tunisia, Ukraine, and Italy.

All of the women were the victims of severe physical abuse during their ordeal and are living under protection in the home run by the Pope John the 23rd community.

A statement from the Holy See Press office said the Pope’s visit to this refugee centre is another reminder of the need to fight against human trafficking, which the Pope has described as "a crime against humanity" and "an open wound on the body of contemporary society, a scourge upon the body of Christ".

boko haram releases new video alleged chibok girls..

Boko Haram on Sunday released a video of the girls allegedly kidnapped from Chibok in April 2014, showing some who are still alive and claiming others died in air strikes. 

The video is the latest release from embattled Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, who earlier this month denied claims that he had been replaced as the leader of the jihadist group.

They should know that their children are still in our hands,” said a man whose face was covered by a turban in the video posted on YouTube. 

There is a number of the girls, about 40 of them, that have been married by the decision of Allah,” said the man in the 11-minute video, which shows girls with veils sitting on the ground and standing in the background. 

Some of them have died as a result of aerial bombardment.

The mass kidnapping of 276 Chibok schoolgirls in April 2014 provoked global outrage and brought unprecedented attention on the Boko Haram conflict, in which at least 20,000 people have been killed since 2009. 

Throughout 2015, the Nigerian military announced the rescue of hundreds of people, most of them women and children, who have been kidnapped by Boko Haram. But the missing schoolgirls were not among them, despite several unconfirmed sightings...
