Edinburgh West MP tells story of how she was raped at 14

UK politician, Michelle Thompson, moved colleagues to tears when she told them that she was raped at the age of 14 by a man she knew.

She made this revelation in the House of Commons, telling them that the man who raped her was someone she knew and trusted and the incident occurred one evening when he offered to walk her home.
"He told me he wanted to show me something in a wooded area and at that point, I must admit, I was alarmed. I did have a warning bell - but I overrode that warning bell because I knew him and therefore there was a level of trust in place.” The former professional musician recounted. She recalled walking home afterwards crying and in shock.

As with most rape cases, Ms. Thompson said she told no one about it but kept it bottled up and she blamed herself for what had happened.
 "I felt I was spoiled and impure and really felt revulsion towards myself.”
She has now come to terms with the incident and bravely stated;
 “I am not a victim, I’m a survivor.”

We can’t pay Super Falcons because we didn’t expect them to win - Solomon Dalong

Speaking to State House correspondents after a private meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the presidential Villa, Abuja, the Minister of Sports and Youth Development, Mr. Solomon Dalong on Thursday said that the Federal Government hasn't paid the allowance of members of the Super Falcons because they didn't think the Falcons would win the championship in Camerron , hence didn't make any provision of funds for them.

He said no money was readily available to pay the players. However, he said serious efforts are being made to find a way to solve the problem at hand. He said:
“It is unfortunate that we are celebrating victory of the Super Falcons amidst some bitter feelings among the players because of some administrative lapses that were not managed properly because if the situation was explained to these girls, I don’t think the situation would have gotten to this level.  
They have stamped their authority and dominance over football in the continent, having consistently won the trophy eight times.  After the girls came back from Cameroon, we had lunch with them and they were in high spirits, the communication gap in trying to convey the situation to them could have been what led to it."

71 year old Billionaire 'Bride of Wildenstein' attacks 49 year old boyfriend with hot wax and scissors

71-year-old plastic surgery addict, Jocelyn Wildenstein AKA 'Bride of Wildenstein', AKA 'New York Catwoman' (for her strange features), arrived in court to face charges of assaulting her partner, 49 year old Lloyd Klein with a pair of scissors and throwing hot wax over him.

A source close to the couple told MailOnline thatKlein who has been with Wildenstein since 2003, said that they had been eating dinner in their Trump Tower apartment when she suddenly flew into a rage over his use of social media.
"They had a relaxing dinner, everything was normal then Jocelyn suddenly got angry as she often does" . "Lloyd was using his laptop and evidently not paying her enough attention. So she screamed at him to get off the computer then picked up a lit candle and threw the hot wax all over him."
When he asked her to calm down, Jocelyn allegedly threatened to kill him, said the insider. 
"She then went at his face with her nails, which are real and very sharp, before finally grabbing some scissors and stabbing them twice into his chest."
During the attack, Lloyd pushed Jocelyn into a closet to protect himself and that was when she called the police, her security and her agent to complain that she was being held hostage in her own home. The source added:
"But when the cops arrived it was patently obvious that she could have opened the door herself".
Officers saw the blood on Lloyd's face and chest and took Jocelyn into custody, and eventually charged her with assault in the second degree and inflicting injuries with a weapon.

In the 1990s, Jocelyn who was married to her art dealer millionaire husband, Alec Wildenstein caught him in bed with a 19-year-old, and they divorced in 1999.
She demanded $1 million a month in maintenance payments, claiming her reliance on servants over the years had left her unable to run her own household.

Jocelyn is thought to have spent over £2 million on plastic surgery procedures, apparently in a bid to look more like her husband's beloved big cats.

Their divorce Judge told her she couldn't spend her alimony on her surgeries but she eventually won $2.5 billion from Alec and a further $100 million each year for the next 13 years.

Are Adesua Etomi, Wale Ojo, Majid and Okon strong enough to make Ayamma a box office movie?

In cinema business various things contribute in making a movie a box office hit. It could be the popularity of the character in the movie, the quality of the script or direction, the special effect used, the reach of the marketing campaign, positive word of mouth or the timing and appropriateness of its release schedule.


In Nollywood only few actors are known to have made several movies a box office hit. The likes of Omoni Oboli in, ‘Anchor Baby’, ‘Being Mrs. Elliot’, ‘The First Lady’, ‘Wives on Strike’, and ‘Fifty’; Genevieve Nnaji in, ‘Mirror Boy’ and ‘Road to Yesterday’; Omotola Jolade in, ‘Ije’ and ‘Last Flight to Abuja’ and Funke Akindele in, ‘The Return of Jenifa’ and ‘Married but Living Single’.

The question now is can Adesua Etomi, Wale Ojo, Majid Michel, Bishop Umoh, Theresa Edem and other casts in what is said to be one of the most anticipated movies of 2016, ‘Ayamma’, make it a box office hit. Ayamma will be premiered at the Intercontinental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos on Tuesday, December 13, 2016 and released in cinemas on Friday, December 23, 2016.

Ayamma which is a movie set in Akwa-Ibom produced by Emem Isong-Misodi, under the production of Royal Arts Academy, tells the story of Prince Daraima (Wole Ojo), the fascinating heir to Obong Ikpaisong, who repeatedly dreams of Ihuoma (Adesua Etomi), poor but radiating maiden whose beauty is matched only by her voice. He is in love with the girl of his dreams. In the real world, Prince Daraima is set to marry Princess Ama (Tinsel star, Theresa Edem), the arrogant child to a neighbouring Monarch. Princess Ama observes her groom-to-be captivated by Iko and resolves to nip this obvious threat in the bud.

Guys, what do you think?

We definitely can wait to see the movie in cinema come Dec. 23rd, 2016.
