Will and Jada Smith's 13 year old daughter, Willow, was photographed in bed with her friend, 20 year old actor, Moises Arias, who is shirtless in the pic. Many feel it's inappropriate because she's just 13, whether anything inappropriate happened or not. Willow and the Disney actor have been friends for a while. The pic was shown to L.A law enforcement who say there's nothing "sexual enough" in the pic to raise concern. Do you think it's inappropriate?

Below is a New York Times editorial published yesterday May 6. Y'all need to read this. Find below.. Three weeks after their horrifying abduction in Nigeria, 276 of the more than 300 girls who were taken from a school by armed militants are still missing, possibly sold into slavery or married off. Nigerian security forces apparently do not know where the girls are and the country’s president, Goodluck Jonathan, has been shockingly slow and inept at addressing this monstrous crime. On Tuesday, the United Nations Children’s Fund said Boko Haram, the ruthless Islamist group that claimed responsibility for the kidnappings, abducted more young girls from their homes in the same part of the country in the northeast over the weekend.  The group, whose name roughly means “Western education is a sin,” has waged war against Nigeria for five years. Its goal is to destabilize and ultimately overthrow the government. The group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, said in a video released on Mon...

Ebonyi State House of Assembly, yesterday ordered an investigation into the remote and immediate causes of the collapse, over the weekend, of the centenary tower under construction. The house described the collapse of the N60m edifice as a huge embarrassment to the government and people of the state.

He, therefore, called on the house to mandate its committee on works to launch an investigation into the remote and immediate causes of the collapse. All those involved in the construction especially the contractor and the State Ministry of Works, he said should be summoned to make presentations on the matter. Other speakers who spoke also supported the call by Odefa. The motion was put to a voice vote and the whole house voted in the af...

National Liberian newspaper, ‘The New Republic’ has recounted an uncanny story of how one of Liberia’s most notorious drug lords by the name of Emmanuel Fahnbulleh gave up his criminal activities after praying with Nigeria’s Prophet T.B. Joshua on his highly popular television station, Emmanuel TV. Ironically, it was a Nigerian who introduced him to the shady business 18 years ago, just as it was a Nigerian who was used by God to rescue him. Here is the full report: In a rather unruffled and undisturbed state of mind, Emmanuel Fahnbulleh divulged his long-running obsession with being one of Liberia's most dangerous and feared drug dealers, distributors and users.  Fahnbulleh, who said he is now converted, has been in the field of selling drugs of all sorts to Liberians for eighteen years before God arrested and transformed him. His case is similar to that of Saul who was arrested on the road to Damascus and transformed to an abiding believer of the Lord.  Yesterda...

A 25-year-old abortion counselor has filmed herself having a surgical abortion and posted the video on YouTube, saying she wants it to help banish stigma surrounding the procedure. Emily Letts, who works at the Cherry Hill Women's Center in New Jersey, explains in an article for Cosmopolitan.com that ironically, despite being a s*x educator, she hadn't been using any birth control and 'wound up pregnant' by mistake last November.  In her three-minute YouTube video she is seen being wheeled into the operating theater before being filmed from the waist up as doctors remove the embryo from her womb. She remains awake throughout, numbed only by local anesthetic.  The video has been watched 36,000 times and has prompted strong reactions from pro-life campaigners as well as those supporting Miss Letts' actions.  Because she was only in the first trimester of pregnancy, Miss Letts says that she could have swallowed an abortion pill instead of going in for surgery....

Speaking out for the first time on  the horrific kidnapping , President Obama on Tuesday called the abduction of the Nigerian school girls “heartbreaking” and “outrageous.” It’s been 22 days since the 276 girls were taken from their school by extremist militants from the Islamist terror group Boko Haram, which translates to “western education is sinful.” The group has since threatened to sell the girls into slavery. The girls’ plight has attracted international condemnation and spurred a global call to action. “You’ve got one of the worst regional or local terrorist organizations in Boko Haram in Nigeria, they’ve been killing people ruthlessly for many years now and we’ve already been seeking greater cooperation with the Nigerians – this may be the event that helps to mobilize the entire international community to finally do something against this horrendous organization that’s perpetrated such a terrible crime,” the president told ABC News’ Ginger Zee. On Tuesday, the W...

The Boko Haram insurgents also abducted 11 more girls in Warabe and Wala communities in the Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State late on Monday.
