UK Archbishops Criticise Nigerian And Ugandan Anti-Gay Laws

The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have written to the presidents of Nigeria and Uganda, after being asked about laws there penalising gay people. Archbishop Welby's letter said gay people were loved and valued by God
The letter said homosexual people were loved and valued by God and should not be victimised or diminished.Nigeria and Uganda have both passed legislation targeting people with same-sex attraction.The letter is also addressed to all primates (heads of national Churches) in the worldwide Anglican Communion.Archbishops Justin Welby of Canterbury and John Sentamu of York said the letter was a result of "questions about the Church of England's attitude to new legislation in several countries that penalises people with same-sex attraction".'Draconian'In Nigeria this month, President Goodluck Jonathan signed into law a bill which bans same-sex marriages, gay groups and shows of same-sex public affection.In Uganda, a bill allowing for greater punishments for gay people, and those who fail to turn them in to police, has been passed by parliament, but blocked - for now - by President Yoweri Museveni.The laws have been heavily criticised by gay and human rights groups.UN human rights chief Navi Pillay described the Nigerian law as "draconian".She said she had rarely seen a piece of legislation "that in so few paragraphs directly violates so many basic, universal human rights".

In their letter, the archbishops reiterated their support for a document known as the Dromantine Communique, published in 2005 by the primates of the Anglican Communion.

The communique said:

"We continue unreservedly to be committed to the pastoral support and care of homosexual people.

"The victimisation or diminishment of human beings whose affections happen to be ordered towards people of the same sex is anathema to us.

"We assure homosexual people that they are children of God, loved and valued by Him and deserving the best we can give - pastoral care and friendship."

‘On the 15th of January 2014, I got married to my lover and Best Friend.

I really did not wish to keep it a secret, If anything we would have loved to have all our loved ones there with us but this was our registry and so much had happened between Maje and I in the last 3 months.

An Open Letter to Nicki Minaj on The Topic of Instagram Shenanigans

Dear Nicki Minaj, Stop.
You used to be sort of all right, a little bit, sometimes. You know, back when you actually did music consistently. Back before you seemingly spent every minute of every hour taking ridiculous, "sexy" selfies to post on Instagram. You were still obnoxious, but at least then you were obnoxious with a career. But, alas, that was then, and this is now. And now, you're absolutely insufferable.

If you don't want to do music full time anymore, that's fine. That's more than fine: that's your life. Do what you want. But this whole thing, this incessant stream of selfies and sadness, it's just not working for anyone. Not for you, and definitely not for us.

Hey, maybe consider taking a vacation. I've heard places without internet are super nice! You could stay away as long as you wanted, just chilling and relaxing and completely avoiding all social media. Think about it!Love,
Everyone in The World with The Good Sense to Be Disturbed by This

Kim Kardashian to become ‘Mrs. Kanye West’ in June 2014

They’ve set a date! Kim and Kanye have been searching for the perfect location for their wedding, and now they’ve reportedly picked out the month they’ll make it official.
Kim Kardashian plans to become Mrs.Kanye West in June 2014, according to a new report, and we can’t wait to see it unfold in front of our eyes. Plus, baby North West will be almost a year old, so hopefully, she’ll be part of the big day!
 Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Marrying In June “Kim has always wanted to be a June bride and she is finally going to get her wish,” a source said. “Kim and Kanye have narrowed down the wedding location, which is being kept a secret at this point. It will be on the outskirts of Paris.”
“Kim and Kanye really wanted to get married at Versailles and were both hoping to persuade officials during their visit there,” the source added. “Ultimately it backfired. It was still a firm no.”
Kim & Kanye’s Wedding Will Be ‘Over-The-Top’ We won’t miss a second of the wedding, since E!’s cameras will be there for the duration. “Kim persuaded Kanye to let the cameras roll because E! will pick up most of the cost of the wedding and it’s a lot easier for a network to deal with logistics of a foreign wedding than if it were just the two of them planning it,” the insider added. While we’re pretty sure that the cost isn’t something they’d be really worried about, we know that the couple have super extravagant plans for the big day — and won’t be let down.

“Both Kim and Kanye have very high expectations for their wedding,” the insider said. “It will be an over-the-top affair and there will be pre-wedding festivities leading up to the big day for their guests. It’ll be like a festival! The couple is looking for something grand, but something that can offer privacy and security.”

Prince sues Facebook fans for $22m for posting links to his concerts

Prolific US singer/songwriter, Prince has instituted a lawsuit against 22 Facebook fans for posting links of his live concerts on their Facebook page and blogs without express authorization from him or his label. If found guilty in court, the fans would face a damage claim of $22million. He filed the law suit at the Northern District of Carolina, USA.

Although the actual names of most of the defendants in the lawsuit haven’t been revealed and the websites named in the suit can no longer be accessed, the usernames identified in the lawsuit (like “PurpleKissTwo”) indicate that at least some of the targets are Prince die hard fans. Continue...



In the lawsuit, Prince listed his performances from 2011 in North Carolina, 2002 in Oakland and 1983 in Chicago as his private materials that have been copyrighted by the accused or defendants.

The suit went further to state that the circulation of a 31-year-old live set damages Prince’s earning capability, with the singer leveling charges of direct copyright infringement, ‘unauthorized fixation and trafficking in sound recordings’, contributory copyright infringement and bootlegging.

“Prince has suffered and is continuing to suffer damages in an amount according to proof, but no less than $1 million per defendant,” the lawsuit reads.

Prince has a history of suing anyone who uses his material without permission, but most times doesn’t follow through on his threats. A 2007 effort to sue The Pirate Bay went nowhere. This new lawsuit is likely to go much further.

Gay daughter of Hong Kong billionaire writes him an open letter

Last week, Hong Kong billionaire, Cecil Chao, 77, was in the news after he reportedly doubled his reward ($130million) for any man who would woo his daughter (pictured left) away from her lesbian lover, marry her and give him grandchildren (If you missed the story, read it here)

The daughter, Gigi Chao, 34, who is already married to her partner Sean Eav & resides in France has written an open letter to her father asking for him to come to terms with the fact that she is a lesbian.

The letter was published today in Chinese newspaper, South China Morning Post. Find it after the cut





Dear Daddy,
I thought the timing was right for us to have a candid conversation.
You are one of the most mentally astute, energetic yet well mannered and hard-working people this humble earth has ever known.
Your confidence, quick wit, and charisma brightens any room you enter.
I love you very much, and I think I can speak for my brothers also, that we have the utmost respect for you as a father and role model in business.

I am sorry that people have been saying insensitive things about you lately. The truth is, they don’t understand that I will always forgive you for thinking the way you do, because I know you think you are acting in my best interests. And we both don’t care if anybody else understands.

As your daughter, I would want nothing more than to make you happy. But in terms of relationships, your expectations of me and the reality of who I am, are not coherent.




I am responsible for some of this misplaced expectation, because I must have misled you to hope there were other options for me. You know I’ve had male lovers in the past, and I’ve had happy, albeit short-lived, relationships. I found myself temporarily happy, buoyed by the freshness, the attention, the interest, of someone physically stronger than myself.

But it was always short-lived, as I quickly lost patience, and felt an indescribable discomfort in their presence. It usually made me frustrated, and I would yearn for my freedom again. I’ve broken a few hearts, hearts of good, honest and loving men, and I’m sorry that it had to be so.

But with Sean, a woman, somehow it was different. I am comfortable and satisfied with my life and completely at ease with her. I know it’s difficult for you to understand how I could feel romantically attracted to a woman; I suppose I can’t really explain it either. It just happens, peacefully and gently, and after so many years, we still love each other very much.

My regret is that you have no idea how happy I am with my life, and there are aspects of my life that you don’t share. I suppose we don’t need each other’s approval for our romantic relationships, and I am sure your relationships are really fantastic too.

However, I do love my partner Sean, who does a good job of looking after me, ensuring I am fed, bathed and warm enough every day, and generally cheering me up to be a happy, jolly girl. She is a large part of my life, and I am a better person because of her.

Now, I’m not asking you to be best of friends; however, it would mean the world to me if you could just not be so terrified of her, and treat her like a normal, dignified human being.
I understand it is difficult for you to understand, let alone accept this truth.

I’ve spent a lot of time figuring out who I am, what is important in my life, who I love and how best to live life, as an expression of all these questions. I am proud of my life, and I would not choose to live it any other way (except also figuring out how to be gentler on the planet).
I’m sorry to mislead you to think I was only in a lesbian relationship because there was a shortage of good, suitable men in Hong Kong.
There are plenty of good men, they are just not for me.
Wishing you happiness.
Patiently yours,
Your daughter, Gigi.

Ghana must go – Keshi

Nigeria and Ghana have a long history of rivalry, particularly when it comes to football.

From the days of Independence Games in the early 1960s when the two countries were pitched against each other in the annual event to the modern times, every match involving them is sold out.

When the Black Stars of Ghana defeated DR Congo 1-0, a day after the Super Eagles shocked the Atlas Lions of Morocco 4-3 in the most dramatic fashion, most watchers of the game, here in South Africa agreed that CHAN would witness yet another thriller because by their victories over their foes, the two West African giants will cross paths to get to the final.

The semi final fixture which comes up today in Bloemfontein, South Africa has attracted a lot of interest from the locals here who are still not pleased with the Bafana Bafana whose exit from the tournament was masterminded by the Super Eagles.

Coach Stephen Keshi has not allowed the landmark victory over Morocco to get into his players heads. ‘’I have told them to remain focused. The victory over Morocco is now history and we still have about 180 minutes to the trophy, so we cannot afford to believe that the task is over,’’ Keshi said.

He has no serious injury worries in camp and with the expected return of Solomon Kwambe, who served a one match suspension as a result of a red card and Benjamin Francis who has regained fitness after a lay off that was occasioned by an injury he sustained during the opening match against Mali, Coach Keshi has maintained faith in his winning squad.

Captain Chigozie Agbim will man the post, Azubuike Egwuekwe will lead the defence quartet of Erhun Obanor, Kumle Odunlami and Brigh Eseme.

In the midfield Abdullahin Shehu, Rabiu Ali and Ugonna Uzochukwu will hold sway while Ejike Uzoenyi will lead the attack line likely to also feature Barnabas Imenga or Gbolahan Salami (if he is fit) and highly mobile Ifeanyi Ede.

There is no doubt, the Ghanaians will be out to puncture Nigeria’s increasing thirst for trophy but the resolve and sense of determination exhibited by the Eagles here has put the Nigerians in a pole position in the opinion poll. A victory for the Eagles over Ghana will only justify the huge confidence South Africans have for a the team that achieved feats that were least expected of them.
