Obama's iftar: Islamists secretly invited, moderates out

The Obama White House published an incomplete list of the invitees to the President's iftar dinner last Wednesday night, omitting representatives of Islamist groups who were invited. The White House also did not invite any representatives of moderate Muslim groups (Hat Tip: Atlas Shrugs). “It was a squeaky clean list,” said Durriya Badani, director of the U.S.-Islamic World Forum, an annual

Anita Baker in Nigeria

She was supposed to have a concert at Muson then at the Oceanview Expo Centre but that 'didn't' happen! Why am I not surprised? They had to refund the N100k+ per tkt tickets back to the guests. She did perform at someone's wife's birthday though - can't name names sorry.

R.I.P Bernie Mac - since I never did tribute him when I heard of his death. Died at age 51. I'll never forget his popular 'Def Jam' and stand-up comedy saying: 'I ain't scared o' you, m%^&^%$£"*^s.' [Bernie's Wiki]

R.I.P Isaac Hayes - Coincidentally, he and Bernie did a movie togther recently. He was a great soul musician. Died at age 65 [Isaac Hayes Wiki]

With the death of these two, I bet Samuel L. Jackson is scared ****less! I hear he's in the movie too.

Look out for my review on the 'Things Fall Apart' drama finale in pictures!

Videobyte: Obama - Yes We Can

I must confess I have not necessarily been following The U.S. Election especially as it was Super Tuesday yesterday (see link). Unlike my fellow friends and relatives, I just catch a glimpse of updates every now and then. I am backing Obama though and I really like this video - of course because there is a lot of celeb dropping (re: name dropping) - the likes of Tatyana Ali, Scarlett Johansson, Will.I.Am, John Legend, Common, Nicole Scherzinger, Tracee Ellis Ross etc. Go Obama! YES WE CAN! P.S. Why did Nick Cannon look like he didn't want to be there?

Super Tuesday is still going on for those who are not following and Hillary Clinton and John McCain won votes in California while Barack Obama leads with 13 states alongside McCain (in a tie).

Speaking of special days, fellow blogger Lil Mama sent me this flyer for an alternative First Fridays to attend rather than the so called "stiff" First Fridays event in Lagos. Lol.

If you are in Lagos still try and go for the event sha and see for yourself.

Anyway the flyer was just an ad as the Trini First Fridays Bash has now passed but I have a free Caribbean PROMO ONLY mixtape for you to download.
