Gang member with Gucci tattoo on his forehead captured in California

Prominent California gang member Khamprasong Thammavong of the Laos Blood gang who messed up his probation by being in possession of firearms and farming illegal marijuana plants in his home had been on the run from the police. But he was captured and arrested after a routine traffic stop in Fresno, California.


Fresno Police later raided Thammavong's home discovering photos of the tatted convict with guns not registered to him, a semi-automatic rifle, other various hand guns, and a mini marijuana farm.

Don't know how he thought he'd remain free with that Gucci tattoo and other tats on his face, lol.

Jaden Smith who covered the British edition of GQ Style magazine said in an interview with them that he doesn't see any distinction between men and female clothing. He said:

‘I feel like people are kind of confused about gender norms. I feel like people don’t really get it.' ‘I’m not saying that I get it, I’m just saying that I’ve never seen any distinction. I don’t see man clothes and woman clothes, I just see scared people and comfortable people.’

Humans of New York creator Brandon Stanton pens open letter to Donald Trump...and it's gone viral!

Humans of New York creator and blogger Brandon Stanton who usually lets his subjects do the talking has written an open letter to Donald Trump. In the letter posted to social media on Monday, 32-year-old Stanton summed up the many issues he has with the Republican presidential frontrunner, notably his controversial remarks about Muslims, immigrants and refugees. 

 

The post has since gone viral garnering over a million Likes and thousands of Shares. Stanton said he has tried to stay away from politics but he could no longer stand by and not take a stand against "violence and prejudice" 

"An Open Letter to Donald Trump:

Mr. Trump,

I try my hardest not to be political. I’ve refused to interview several of your fellow candidates. I didn’t want to risk any personal goodwill by appearing to take sides in a contentious election. I thought: ‘Maybe the timing is not right.’ But I realize now that there is no correct time to oppose violence and prejudice. The time is always now. Because along with millions of Americans, I’ve come to realize that opposing you isno longer a political decision. It is a moral one.

I’ve watched you retweet racist images. I’ve watched you retweet racist lies. I’ve watched you take 48 hours to disavow white supremacy. I’ve watched you joyfully encourage violence, and promise to ‘pay the legal fees’ of those who commit violence on your behalf. I’ve watched you advocate the use of torture and the murder of terrorists’ families. I’ve watched you gleefully tell stories of executing Muslims with bullets dipped in pig blood. I’ve watched you compare refugees to ‘snakes,’ and claim that ‘Islam hates us.’

I am a journalist, Mr. Trump. And over the last two years I have conducted extensive interviews with hundreds of Muslims, chosen at random, on the streets of Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan. I’ve also interviewed hundreds of Syrian and Iraqi refugees across seven different countries. And I can confirm— the hateful one is you.

Those of us who have been paying attention will not allow you to rebrand yourself. You are not a ‘unifier.’ You are not ‘presidential.’ You are not a ‘victim’ of the very anger that you’ve joyfully enflamed for months. You are a man who has encouraged prejudice and violence in the pursuit of personal power. And though your words will no doubt change over the next few months, you will always remain who you are.

Sincerely,
Brandon Stanton

Cameroonian actress Sende Bende supports Laquintinie hospital?

The chilling Story of Koumate Monique and her babies has been in everyone's heart and lips ever since it occurred. Most people took to social media to expressed digust towards Laquintinie and support for Monique and her babies. Cameroonian actress Sende Bende however, has a more different outlook on the story/scandal. This is what she wrote on her Facebook page...

Cameroonians!! You amaze me. Do u Facebookers watch national news? Someone wakes up early in the morning with "hearsay information" and in a blink of an eye it goes viral. Now first and foremost Monique got to Laquintini  dead. The first hospital she visited insisted they run a few tests on her b4 they can prescribe treatment because it was the first time she was visiting their hospital which to me was professional enough. It should be noted that, that was also the first time she was going to a hospital throughout her pregnancy which to me is madness and the height of negligence. She was actually admitted in that hospital but her family members discharged her. The nurse in charge of that hospital said on the news that the woman was dead before they left for Laquintini . The relatives pleaded that the babies should be saved but she explained to them that if the mother is already dead then the babies are dead as well. But they insisted that was when she told them to go to Laquintini . People attest that they saw the family members crying while leaving that clinic. It's true that negligence with regards to human life is alarming in Laquintini but can someone tell me what life was neglected. Can a fetus survive in the womb of its dead mother? How can it breath when the main oxygen source has already shutdown? If the so call family members loved her or those poor innocent babies they would have made sure she goes for antenatal appointments which is almost free. Like Steph rightly asked where is the father of this woman? Hate me for saying this but I'm sick and tired of this quest for cheap popularity on Facebook.

Photo: 10-year-old boy seen hawking dangerous insecticide in Sabon Gari,

This 10-year-old boy is being exposed to health hazards selling poisonous insecticide in Sabon Gari Market, Kano. Below is what Mohammed Shehu who shared the photo wrote:

"I just met this boy this afternoon selling a very dangerous insecticide. He is barely 10 or 12 years of age. My concern: is this boy capable of handling these kind of poisonous materials?
On cross-examining him, I found out that the boy is 'Almajiri', and was asked to hawk these items by some guys in Sabon Gari Market. He lives with his Mallam at my neighbourhood. He is neither aware of the harmful effect of the chemicals nor trained to handle such items. I gave him some money and asked him to return it to the owner and never hawk such materials. This 'Almajiranci' must stop for us to progress as people. Allah ya kiyaye, Amee"

Is he at it again! Jovi releases a statement on why he wouldn't be attending the 2016 Kora Awards

Jovi wouldn't be attending the 2016 Kora Awards. The following is a statement from his record label...

Statement on Jovi Attendance for the 2016 Kora Awards

March 11, 2016 

We would like to announce to our fans that Jovi will not be attending the 2016 Kora Awards. We are very appreciative of the professional and cordial communication we have had with the Kora Awards committee since August 2014, when they first expressed interest in Jovi. While we have had a great relationship with the committee and organizers, we have still not received any information on Jovi’s travel arrangements, even though we have requested details since January 2016. It is not feasible for us to continue to put other projects and engagements on hold, while we wait for information. We have done our best to promote the awards show, created material to promote his nomination, discussed it in interviews, and heavily encouraged our fans to vote. With less than one week left before Jovi is scheduled to leave, we have had no response to get information available for us to plan our itinerary, and we prefer not to scramble at the last minute to make arrangements. We SINCERELY appreciate all of the fans who have voted for Jovi’s Mboko God to win Best Album. We would not have reached this far without your support! Jovi is proud to represent Cameroon for the Kora Awards, and we wish all the nominees and the Kora Awards committee the best of luck! Thank you to all the fans that have spent funds texting, voted online, and shared the nomination. We hope to work again with the Kora Awards in the future.

Sincerely,

New Bell Music.

U.S Election: Ben Carson Endorses Donald Trump

American business tycoon and Republican Party presidential candidate hopeful, Donald Trump has been backed by his former rival, Ben Carson to become president of America.

                                           Ben Carson and Donald Trump

Ben Carson and Donald Trump

 Retired neurosurgeon, Ben Carson formally endorsed Donald Trump's presidential bid Friday, praising the real estate mogul saying he wants "the voice of the people to be heard."

"He's actually a very intelligent man who cares deeply about America," Carson said at a press conference at the  Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Forida."There's two different Donald Trumps. There's the one you see on stage and the one that's very cerebral, sits there and considers things very carefully."

Carson said he and Trump had reconciled after having several spats while both were presidential candidates.

"We buried the hatchet," the retired neurosurgeon said. "We moved on because it's not about me. It's not about Mr. Trump. This is about America."

Carson also used the opportunity to call on the Republican Party — as Trump has been doing in recent days — to unify around whoever the leading candidate and "let the political process to play out."

"What I've been seeing recently is political operatives ... once again trying to assert themselves and trying to thwart the will of the people," Carson said. "I find that to be an extraordinarily dangerous place right now.

News of the endorsement broke Thursday, and the real estate mogul confirmed Carson's support during a GOP debate hosted by CNN.

"Having his support, really, it just adds total credence to what I'm trying to do and to what we're all trying to do,"Trump said at the news conference, introducing Carson.

The Health Minister addresses the scandal at Laquintinie Hospital Douala

The minister of public health, Andre Mama Fouda, has refuted popular claims Monique Koumate died out of negligence from medics at the Laquintini hospital in Douala.

He went further in saying it is medically ethical not to conduct operation on a dead woman indicting the actions of the niece of the decease.

This now gives a great indication, the director and medics at laquintini hospital will be spelt from any prosecution while on the other, the niece of Monique could be prosecuted.

Kumba Population Feasts On Poisoned Fish

A cross-section of Kumba population has since, February 22, been feasting on dead fish from the what is commonly known as Kumba Water (river) which flows across the town. Reports say the fish were killed with gamalin, a chemical commonly used in treating cocoa pods.

Men, women and children alike could be seen picking dead fish from the banks of the shallow river. Despite the pungent smell emanating from the dead fish, the population keeps streaming to the river to pick dead fish. The fish began floating on the river on February 22, quickly drawing a crowd to the scene of free fish.

Women on their way to the farm or businesses stopped along the river to get the free fish. Meanwhile, children stopped by on February 23, afternoon, to search for the dead fish. Some unknown persons reportedly poured a toxic chemical into the river to harvest fish, which they would sell to make fast cash.

However, police officers surfaced around the Metta Quarter Junction end of the river on Monday, and tried to disperse the population. Ever since the dead fish surfaced on the banks of Kumba Water, the river is emitting a repulsive stench. Local fishermen are noted for poisoning Kumba Water and then moving downstream to collect dead fish, which float to the surface. In some cases, these ‘fishermen’ sell their catch to the same people who supply the poison and convey the fish to urban markets.

In total disregard of the danger of consuming such fish, a local told The Post that once the fish is cooked or fried, the power of the toxic chemicals diminishes.The practice is common in tributaries and small streams during the dry season when water levels in streams and rivers are extremely low.
