Shocking: R&B Singer's Harrisong's Parents Are Blood Brother And Sister, The Actor Revealed Recently
Shocking!!! This is one of those stories that rip your heart out, don't despair 'cos the people here were not aware of their close bonds. Apparently, Harrison Tari Okri, popularly known as Harrysong, fast rising R&B singer
revealed a family secret to a publication recently, Yes! Magazine, he revealed
how his parents gave birth to him not knowing they were blood relations, brother and sister actually.
but I give it to Harrysong, he's officially my man of the moment for getting this out and openly too. Peep the exerpts.
I am an only child. I learnt that when my mother was alive, she met my father, then she was still in school and they were in the same class and in the same village. But they didn't know they were closely related. After my mum gave birth to me, she and my dad discovered they were actually brother and sister and subsequently separated. So, I was born based on what our villagers regard as abomination. They attempted to kill my father in the village, but he fled. Because in Warri where I come from, it's a taboo. They termed it incest. They both eventually married other people.

Short Story: Ebuka's Infatuation For The Woman With The Short Hair
He watched her from across the hall, his eyes following her every move. Damn, she was beautiful! And she carried herself with the natural confidence of someone who knew she was beautiful.

Young men sitting together nudged each other and stared openly.

Pls Read: Family Responds To Ogochukwu Onochukwu's Letter From The Grave
Do you remember the story of Ogochukwu Onuchokwu (RIP), the woman that her letter by a friend made the news a couple of weeks ago? If you do, I'm sure you'll remember some if not all the details. See story here This Will Make You Cry, Pls Share - Ogochukwu Onuchukwu (Nee Onugu). Someone, Barr. Mrs Nnenna Okafor (PHD) has written a letter of her own in defence of Ogochukwu's husband, Kelvin and his mother, late Ogo's mother-in-law. Please read and share.
It's important we do the former as the content of the initial letter titled "My Story: A Voice From The Grave" spread all over the internet, we should give the same attention the first received to this one as well, you can draw your conclusion after reading it. I have formed my own opinion, and that is, Ogochukwu's husband Kelvin may not be bad afterall, this is informed based on the content of the second letter you're about to read. Remember to share. Thanks.
Late Ogochukwu Cecilia Onuchukwu never and could not have written such false and fabricated lies against Kevin from the grave or before, dragging the names of their little children and husband to public debacle. • That the Facebook page was never posted by Ogochukwu nor supported by her in any form.
That the publications and contents there-in were all false and baseless and Ogochukwu had no input to them
Those individuals that sponsored these false / fabricated website publications are hiding under the name of late Ogochukwu to cause damage to the families. They should therefore come out with their names and contact information / proofs.
The real facts are stated below.
Nigerian, Doris Chibuko, 40 Among Victims of California Shooting
Doris Chibuko, a Nigerian-trained lawyer and mother of three, was among the 7 people killed by a gunman at Oikos University, Oakland, California on Monday. Doris was studying nursing at the Christian College when she was gunned down by an expelled student of the school, One Ogoh, a Korean. Those killed by Ogoh, who was said to be looking for a female administrator, included six women and a man, while other victims sustained bullet wounds. She was just two months away from completing her nursing programme when she was shot dead by Ogoh, who was angry with the school authorities over his expulsion some months ago and with some of his fellow students for teasing him over his poor English skills.
May her soul and those of the other 6 people rest in peace.

Email From America: Why Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala Should Be The Next President Of The World Bank
Here's an exerpt of the writeup on the subject matter, written by by Ikhide R. Ikheloa.. OccupyNigeria: For all the beautiful children murdered in January for standing up to the myrmidons of our darkness
When Okonjo-Iweala departs for the World Bank, she will be leaving Nigeria much worse than she found it. That is the most compelling reason why she deserves the World Bank presidency. Nigerians need a break. Okonjo-Iweala’s appointment would be the most eloquent marker of how seriously the world takes Africans as human beings. As a parent, I personally hold Okonjo-Iweala and the Nigerian leadership responsible for the numerous youth who were murdered and maimed early this year by the state for exercising their rights. Again, no Western leader could have survived that mess, not one. The world shrugs its shoulders routinely and rewards African incompetence, corruption and brutality. That is why certified wife-beaters, petty crooks and murderers are paraded on the world stage as “African statesmen.” This is how to keep Africa in perpetual bondage. The World Bank is good at that.
