Rick Ross is laughing in the face of mortal danger – stepping out in L.A. Thursday with a big smile and a fat cigar – oblivious to the fact that someone may be trying to kill him. You may recall – Ross crashed his Rolls-Royce in Ft. Lauderdale January 28, after someone fired dozens of shots at his car. Ross and his passenger weren’t hurt- but it’s pretty obvious someone’s got it out for him- possibly a gang. When this picture of Ross leaving a Beverly Hills restaurant was shot, he made it very clear he has no fear. It’s the first time Ross has been seen out in public since the day of the shooting.

Here's an article I found online a few days ago. Might be useful info for some of us. See it below...

Yet another study confirms what people have been saying for ages: Stop drinking diet soda. Like, right now.

Somebody or Nobody - by Adaobi Nwaubani

In Nigeria, you're either somebody or nobody? Please read the article and tell us what you think. Written by journalist and author Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani

In America, all men are believed to be created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. But Nigerians are brought up to believe that our society consists of higher and lesser beings. Some are born to own and enjoy, while others are born to toil and endure.

The earliest indoctrination many of us have to this mind-set happens at home. Throughout my childhood, “househelps” – usually teenagers from poor families – came to live with my family, sometimes up to three or four of them at a time. In exchange for scrubbing, laundering, cooking, baby-sitting and everything else that brawn could accomplish, either they were sent to school, or their parents were sent regular cash.
