Former FIFA World Player of the Year , Fabio Cannavaro sentenced to 10 months in prison

Cannavaro who played for Parma, Internazionale, Juventus and Real Madrid, and captained Italy to their 2006 World Cup triumph, has been under investigation for tax evasion. In October, authorities in Naples seized almost €1m of goods linked to Cannavaro and his wife.

However, his failure to adhere to their ruling last month has led to Cannavaro – now the coach of the Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande – being handed a 10-month sentence. His wife, Daniela Arenoso, and his brother Paolo, who plays in Serie A for Sassuolo, were also given custodial sentences. 

All three have appealed and will therefore have their sentences suspended until a final judgment is made.

Johnny depp set to wed next week

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard will reportedly tie the knot on his island in the Bahamas next week.

Depp and his 28-year-old fiancee - who got engaged in December 2013 after a year of dating - are planning to tie the knot on his island in the Bahamas over the weekend of February 7-8 in front of just 50 guests.

And accommodation on the 45-acre Little Hall's Pond Cay island is so limited, many of the guests - which will include the bride's family and Johnny's two children from his relationship with Vanessa Paradis, Lily-Rose, 15, and 12-year-old Jack - will be staying on the 51-year-old actor's yacht during the celebrations.

The couple chose the date because of their hectic working schedules. A source explained to the New York Post Newspaper's Page Six column: ''She's filming a movie in London, and he's getting ready to film the next Pirates of the Caribbean in Australia. So this is the only time that everyone could get together.''

Heard will wear a dress designed by Stella McCartney for the wedding ceremony, the insider claimed. The couple - who met on the set of their 2011 movie The Rum Diary - celebrated their impending marriage with an engagement party last March.

The medieval-style bash, at Carondelet House in Los Angeles, was attended by the likes of rockers Marilyn Manson and Steven Tyler, movie producer Jerry Bruckheimer and singer Mandy Moore.

Fake tiwa savage dupes politician

A lady that poses as Mavin Records’ first lady, Tiwa Savage, is currently on a duping spree,guys. And sadly, her latest victim is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial candidate for Lagos West in the forthcoming 2015 election, Segun Adewale, also known as Aeroland.

The fake Savage, who is now on the run, duped the Aeroland boss of N500,000, as part-payment to perform at his political declaration party. The politician only realized he had been duped when the Kelekele Love singer did not show up for the event. According to DailyIndependent, Aeroland is presently banking on the financial institution through which the money was paid to help get what is left of the amount, as a withdrawal has already occurred on the account.

Asari Dokubu Reacts on The Katsina Stoning of President Goodluck Jonathan

ABUJA – Leader of Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari Thursday reacted to the attack on the convoy of president Goodluck Jonathan by some irate youths in the state during a campaign rally on Tuesday, saying the Niger Delta would respond in due course.

Asari also warned the Igbo and the members of the National Youth Service Corps, NYSC who currently reside in the north to return home as they would have themselves to be blamed should anything happen to them.

The NDPVF leader while addressing a press conference in Abuja faulted the Abuja peace accord entered into by President Jonathan and the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Mohammadu Buhari with 12 others, saying it was unnecessary.

Going into memory lane, Asari recalled that the north has always had the penchant for causing election violence.
“There is an established pattern of pre and post election violence in the north. In the 50s when late Awolowo was campaigning in the north, he went with helicopters and he was mocked. People said he was flying over the houses and peeping their wives. That has continued and everywhere in the country, people say leave them alone. We don’t want any trouble. But I think the game has changed. The rules of the game have changed.

“For every action, there will be an opposite and equal reaction. I knew that the signing of the accord was useless and that the president subjected himself to sign such an accord. For me, it was out of place for a president and commander in chief of the armed forces of a country. But the president is a humble person. He does things that even marvel some of us and make us sometimes to be very angry.
“To be frank, I was very angry on that day they were signing it. The president has sworn to protect the lives of every Nigerian. So, why would he after taking a constitutional oath subject himself to another oath?

“So what happened in Katsinah is not a surprise. But don’t be surprised. We are putting the world on notice that they have started first. When we reply, let no body talk. Because we are going to reply. We did not sign any accord with them. They did not sign. They are talking about about election violence now because they know that other people will respond.
“Before, they had the monopoly of violence, so nobody cared who died. Our lives were not valuable and they had all the latitude to wreck havoc and did what they liked. But the game has changed. Be bold enough to tell them that game has changed. If they slice our throat, we are going to slice your throat. They stoned the president, you will hear from us. That’s the answer.

“My concern is what happens after the election because we know they will do what they are known to do every time. But this time, they will cry. So all Igbo people who are there, if you don’t come back home and you want to continue to be there and something happens to you, there is nobody to be blamed. If you have a child who is a youth corper and you allow him to be there, you will not hold anybody responsible.”

Asari who was also the former President of Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, reiterated his stand on victory for president Jonathan, saying he would win the February polls.
“There is no way Goodluck will not win the election. We will win them and we know they are preparing for violence in consonance with some foreign powers. When they do that, we will respond disproportionately. We will respond. That’s what we are going to do. If you hit me with a stick, I am going to hit you with iron. I am not speaking in riddles. I am speaking in plain language. My English may not be very good. I am speaking in my own street language. We are going respond disproportionately and we are apologetic.
“The people who are in Katsinah who did not hold their children should also know that I will not hold my children”, he said.

Reminded that Buhari has repeatedly dissociated himself from violence, Asari said “He is a liar. This is the same man who said that the blood of monkeys and baboons will flow on the street. He sounded a note of warning in clear terms. Who are the monkeys and the baboons? He has not explained to us. So, for him now to say whatever he says, that is his business.They burnt president Jonathan’s campaign vehicles in Jos and they were singing “sai Buhari oyoyo”. Why is it that violence is always initiated by the people shouting his name?”

He however said that there would not be violence unless the north “asks” for one.

“I assure you, nothing will happen anywhere if they do not initiate violence. Did we ask them to stone the president yesterday? Do you want us to fold our arms so that they will kill him? Let them stop the violence. When they do, we will stop. A situation where Shakua will stand and say Niger Delta we are coming for you. Goodluck I am coming for you. You are a man and I am a man. We are going to look at each other eyeball to eyeball. You can shoot and I can shot. You can kill and I can kill. You can destroy and I can destroy.
“The question is not for me. It is for Buhari, el-Rufai, Shakua. They are the people you have to direct this question to. Go and ask Buhari why he allowed his people to stone the president and commander -in-chief in Katsinah. There must be balance of terror. One person does not have the prerogative to kill, main and destroy.

On the preparedness and readiness of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC to conduct the polls, Asari said INEC was not ready. He however did not support the idea of postponing the elections.

“From what INEC has done so far, it is not because of the violence, so many people have not collected their PVC. Look at the “ojoro”that is going on in INEC. Twenty of the twenty seven local governments in Borno are in the hands of Boko haram but more people have collected PVCs in Borno than in Abia state where there is no crisis.

“For me, let every person be allowed to vote without PVC. If we are going to use the PVC, then INEC is not ready. But I am not calling for the postponement of the election. We will win the election decisively. On the 14th of February, there will be “failbuhari” and will win decisively.”

On the saga trailing the academic qualification of Buhari, the Niger Delta activist challenged the presidential candidate to produce his WAEC certificate.

“A man rose to the rank of a General in the Nigeria army with a note from a principal that this man is in Form six, he will pass English, Mathematics, etcetera, he should be recruited and commissioned into the army. A year after this Mr. Saint deposited an affidavit that he has a WAEC result which has not been found. He said the military board has my result. Where on earth do you give your original certificate to your employers?” He asked

Saudi Man Divorce's Wife for Holding His Hands in a public place

A Saudi man divorced his wife at an airport, after she tried to hold his hand in public.

The incident occurred at the King Khalid Airport in the capital of Riyadh, where the woman tried to hold her husband's hand and displayed some romantic gestures, Gulf News reported.

However, this did not go down well with the ultra-orthodox husband, who insisted that she stop telling him romantic things and asked her to "leave him alone".

"He repeated his words to leave him alone before he became exasperated and decided to divorce her," Abdul Aziz Al Zair, a religious scholar said to an audience, while discussing marital issues on television.

However, Al Zair also said that now the husband is regretting his decision and living in pain and remorse.

"The divorced wife went back to her family outside Riyadh and the former husband is now suffering under the painful feeling of guilt and remorse for his destructive attitude," he added.

The news was slammed by social media users, who said that the Saudi men lack minimum common sense.

Jackie Chan’s Son Sentenced to 6 Months in Prison

Jaycee Chan, the Son of famous actor Jackie Chan has been sentenced to 6 months in jail after pleaded guilty in a Beijing court to providing a venue for drug users.

In August, police seized more than 100grams of marijuana at Jaycee’s Beijing home, while he and Taiwanese movie star Ko Kai both tested positive for the drug, it was reported.

His imprisonment comes amid a major crackdown on illegal drugs in China, and is particularly embarrassing for his father, who in 2009 was named an anti-drug ambassador.

Jaycee said , ‘I violated the law. I deserve to be punished. When I return to society, I won’t do it again,’ he said in a courtroom footage aired on China Central Television (CCTV).

This beat provided by Chaotic kind of knocks. While a reader commented on the progression of Willow from her earlier work, “Whip My Hair” , considering where she is now at the age of 14, it’ll be interesting to see where she goes with her music by the age of 18 if she chooses to stick with it

Are Nigerian police officers above the law?

Late last year, we witnessed how some Nigerian police officers maltreated a man they arrested for urinating in a canal in the Surulere area of Lagos State. The man and even passersby pleaded with the officers to let him go but they refused, beat him up and took him to their station where he was made to part with a fine for breaking the law.

But this morning, as Lagosians awaited the arrival of President Goodluck Jonathan for the first leg of the PDP presidential election campaign rally, these 'gallant' officers of the law were caught red handed breaking the law opposite the Tafawa Balewa Square venue of the rally.
Does this mean that police officers are above the law?

Out the Magazine (Music Video)

Singer Lindsey wows us with a very creative music video for her latest single “Out The Magazine”.

The narrative clip which is directed by the brilliant Kemi Adetiba is quirky and lovely.
I heard about Lindsey only at the very tail end of last year, and at a time when very few Nigerian musicians were making any meaningful music. The girl has got soul! The lyrics, the voice, the rhythm and rhyme. I'm really glad to see an artist like her on the scene

Must Watch!!!
