  12yr old boy executed by Sri Lankan army because his father was a rebel leader  An unbelievably sad story I read on Daily Mail today. See it below... Disturbing new images have emerged of the dead body of the 12-year-old son of a Tamil leader that researchers say could prove he was executed by Sri Lankan government forces. The photographs of Balachandran Prabhakaran, son of Velupillai Prabhakaran, head of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, were taken in May 2009 at the end of the government's conflict with the rebels. The first pictures appear to show the child in the custody of Sri Lankan forces and he is seen sitting on a bench wrapped in a blanket and eating some food. Warning: Graphic content after the cut... The series of photographs show he was even given a snack as he sat wrapped in a blanket But photographs taken hours later on the same camera show him lying on the ground, topless and his chest riddled with bullet holes. He has f...

The Darey Concert: Paying Millions For The Presence Of A Porn Star Kim is not a porn star. She had sex with her boyfriend of four years and unfortunately for her it was filmed, that doesn't make her a porn star. But I'm really annoyed that she collected so much money to come to Nigeria and only made a 20 second appearance on stage...so any article written against her concerning this concert, I will gladly publish. Here's one from Wale Odunsi. T he Darey Concert: Paying Millions For The Presence Of A Porn Star - By Wale Odunsi Okay, I hardly comment on entertainment and showbiz news. I prefer to stay on the national issues/political terrain which are my jurisdiction. However, I could not hold back the temptation to do a piece on Darey’s ‘Love Like A Movie’ concert. No doubt, the LLAM held in Lagos was superb; star-studded, proper management, lights, sounds et al. In fact not a few have adjudged the show the best of its type in recent years. The ovation...
