Afghan, 22 yr old ,Aesha Mohammadzai’s nose and ears were hacked off by brutal in-laws after she was promised in marriage aged 12

Very sad but it happened

When Aesha was 12, her father promised her in marriage to a Taliban fighter to pay a debt. She was handed over to his family who abused her and forced her to sleep in the stable with the animals.

The UN estimates that nearly 90 per cent of Afghanistan's women suffer from some sort of domestic abuse.

When she attempted to flee, she was caught and her nose and ears were hacked off by her husband as punishment.

'When they cut off my nose and ears, I passed out. In the middle of the night it felt like there was cold water in my nose.

'I opened my eyes and I couldn't even see because of all the blood,' she told CNN reporter Atia Abawi.

Aisha now in U.S, has a prosthetic nose fitted using a special adhesive. She will eventually have reconstructive surgery

Funke Akindele Burst To Tears

I’m hoping this is a mere rumour…..but if it is true…..msh! this wedding is not standing on a solid rock…..Nawo! But men sha! You can't live with them and you can’t live without them

Just read…..

First Weekly Magazine reported, the wedding plans of Funke Akindele  and Alhaji Kehinde Oloyede Almaroof on May 26, 2012 is being threatened by controversies.

While the prominent actress is said to be making an elaborate plans for the wedding, sources have said that she has lost her rating as a well-loved Nollywood actress with her proposed engagement to a man, who is alleged to be one of the boys in Oshodi, Lagos before hitting it big in property business.

 Kenny Doo, as Almaroof is fondly called in his base in Oshodi, is said to be married to a beautiful lady called Detoun, who has a popular fabric shop in Oshodi and who has four kids for him. Our source told us that Al-Mahroof’s marriage to Detoun has always been crisis-ridden as the couple fight almost on a daily basis.

The source  said that about two other women have children for Al-Mahroof.“What do you expect; he is a big boy and ladies flock around him. I know that two other women have children for him apart from his wife that bore him four children.”

Source asked if the couple still live together and this was the answer:

“yes, they are still married, but it’s not a sweet marriage. They fight every time.”

 But one of Funke Akindele’s close friends said that Kenny Al-Mahroof is divorced, she said “They started dating about a year ago and Funke did not meet any woman in his home. He told Funke that he was married before, but has divorced his wife,” and what is wrong in marrying a divorcee?

As far as I’m concerned, Al-Mahroof is single because he is divorced. What we should do is pray for them and wish them the best.”

Al-Mahroof is a rich young guy, who started making money for himself when his mother was the Iyaloja (market leader) of Oshodi. Kenny’s mum, Alhaja Al-Mahroof, according to sources, once reined as the second in command to Alhaja Abibat Mogaji, the Iyaloja General of Lagos and mother of ACN National Leader, Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Those in the know told First Weekly that Funke, nicknamed Jenifa, based on her role in her celebrated movie; ‘Jenifa,’ was not aware of the full marital status of Kenny Doo before she agreed to walk down the aisle with him, and that even after the truth was exposed, she has refused to change her stand. Almaroof was said to have been parts of the boys, who used to foment trouble in Oshodi in those days, but has now climbed up the ladder with his success in property business.

 The source said a fight later ensued between Alhaja Al-Mahroof and Alhaja Mogaji which made the former defect to the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State. And that was why Alhaja Al-Mahroof always sponsored his son, Kenny Al-Mahroof to contest elections in Oshodi under the banner of the PDP. Kenny contested the 2007, House of Representatives election to represent Oshodi-Isolo Federal Constituency under the PDP but lost.

He also served as the Personal Assistant to a former Minister of Works. Kenny Doo, our sources revealed, now shuttles between Nigeria and London for his property business and lives in a modest mansion in Magodo area of Lagos. It was gathered that another source of trouble for Funke is the fact that the Lagos State chapter of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), whose government has been supporting Funke Akindele’s movies through advert patronage and which uses her as a model for its programmes through the State Inland Revenue Board, may be angry at her choice of Almaroof, a PDP member, as husband.

 Meanwhile, some of the fans of the successful actress have come hard on her for planning to settle down with another woman’s husband, and for picking a semi-literate as hubby, when she has a choice of getting a single man, who would match her academic qualification.

The dark-skinned diva was said to have bust into tears, when she was confronted by close associates, who condemned her for damning the consequences of her marriage to Almaroof, when she has several choices. Her reason for weeping, we were told, is because she felt that she has waited enough and that now that she met someone who would take her as wife and make her happy, people do not seem to rejoice, but rather have chosen to condemn her.

 Many of her critics wondered why on earth she would agree to be a second wife, they also asked why would Funke, with the level of her exposure and education as a University of Lagos law graduate, settle for a man, who is barely educated and who has four kids from another woman already.

They believe that Funke should have gone for a quiet and low key single man as husband.

LINUS IDAHOSA(Stephanie Okereke hubby) says ………

Linus idahosa ,Stephanie okereke’s hubby sounds real and seriously committed …..hear what he said after their wedding…

 

“I am a very reserved person and would never believe that I would partner with someone like that in the complete lime light of stardom.But it is her spirit,her resilience amongst others that made me choose her.You need someone like that who is neither petty nor thinks superficially.

You need some who has a teachable spirit in business or other things in a relationship;someone who could listen and be listened to.Those little things matter a lot.

I have done a lot of things that people didn’t know more until my relationship with Stephanie who is a star so the oil smears me as well.Whenever she is written about,I am also involved because I am her companion.But I know that if one is making progress,stories are written because a search light is on you permanently.

People want to read them.But I will not sit down and begin to think about all those things .I want to do things that you as a journalist will sit down and say this is good thinking”

Well said Linus!

Jenna Talackova – transgendered Miss Universe Canada contestant shines in spotlight after comeback battle

Do y’all remember this post http://xpressurselfshow.blogspot.com/2012/03/miss-universe-canada-finalist-jenna.html

When Jenna was disqualified because she was natural born male……well its seems she is natural fighter too that does not give up in what she believes in….apparently she sued and had a high-profile U.S. civil rights lawyer Gloria Allred represent her which she won. Finally last month, pageant owner Donald Trump reinstated her (Talackova)

And here she is among the final 12 contestants before failing to make the final five in the glitzy pageant.

I guess she did her home work well after all and above all she believed in herself  Or don't you agree?

According to report she has attracted twice the amount of media. CNN, the U.S. show Inside Edition and two TV crews from Japan set up cameras.

 

I guess this was what qualified to be among the 12 contestants out of the 62 contestants

6-foot-1, long blond wavy hair, at the Miss Universe Canada contest. Talackova, 23, wearing the standard-issue red backless dress and strappy stilettos, sashays across the stage, big smile, eye contact with the audience. They cheer. About to exit, she adds a signature touch, a saucy twirl of her skirt, a move utterly female.

Just in case you are wondering....during her interview she said she has a boyfriend and she would like to have two children someday.
