#HNNNigeria Governor Ajimobi sympathizes with Ladoja family on son's death.

Death of Ladoja’s son, tragic, disheartening - Ajimobi released on his Facebook page.

Governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State has commiserated with a former Governor of the state, Senator Rashidi Ladoja over the death of his son, Adebola in an auto crash which occurred in Lagos on Thursday.

The governor, in a statement issued in Ibadan on Friday by his Special Adviser on Media, Dr. Festus Adedayo, described the death of the former governor’s son as tragic, disheartening, unfortunate and sad.


``It is with deep shock and utter disbelief that I received the death of Adebola, son of my cousin and former Governor Rashidi Ladoja in a ghastly motor accident that occurred in Lagos on Thursday.

``It is even more painful considering the fact that Adebola was snatched by the cold hands of death in his prime,’’ he said, describing the deceased as a rising star and potential leader of tomorrow.

Governor Ajimobi admonished Senator Ladoja to take the incident as an act of God as nothing could happen to any human being without the knowledge of God.

While praying for the repose of the soul of the deceased, the governor beseeched God to grant the former governor and the entire Ladoja family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.

#HNNSports Has Donald Sterling being diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease? Now he'll forget he's RACIST?

It appears Donald Sterling has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's reports The Source

The Donald Sterling saga has all but come to a close, with Steve Ballmer, the current CEO of Microsoft, set to purchase the team for $2 Billion dollars–there’s a running joke that he’ll pay with two 1 Billion dollar bills–and Shelly Sterling has co-operated with the NBA in making sure the sale of the Clippers was a swift and effective process.

However, there’s an interesting twist–as usual–that seems to explain some of the madness that’s gone on, and also the ridiculously quick pace at which Shelly Sterling moved to sell her beloved Clippers. According to TMZ, Donald Sterling was diagnosed with Alzheimers by two different qualified doctors, and according to their trust agreement with the NBA, that renders Donald Sterling incompetent to make NBA decisions. So, whether or not Sterling was forced out by the swift movements of Adam Silver, his health would’ve played a major factor in his removal from the capacity to decide on NBA operations regarding The Clippers.

Earlier this month, on May 22nd, Donald Sterling signed a letter that effectively relinquished any negotiating power he had in the sale of the team to his wife, which was a major factor in the events of the past 36 hours.

#HNNCrime #Georgia USA Cops Flash Grenade drops into baby's crib blowing up his face! (GRAPHIC)

A drug deal was made in this house, someone snitched it in to the cops, they raided the house and a mistake happened! 

A Georgia toddler has been put into a medically induced coma after he was badly burned by a police “flash bang” grenade that landed in the crib where the boy was sleeping during a drug raid, his mother told ABC News today.

The raid occurred before dawn Wednesday night in Habersham County while the Phonesavanh family was sleeping.

“It was a big flash, a loud bang, a bunch of yelling, and my son screaming,” the boy’s mom, Alecia Phonesavanh, 27, told ABC News.

“Two of my other girls were next to my husband. There was a member of the SWAT team pinning him down, another man had my son who was screaming and crying,” Phonesavanh said.

“At that time I didn’t see his playpen, but I kept telling him to ‘Please just give him to me,’” Phonesavanh said of 19-month-old son Bounkham. “‘He’s just scared.’” According to Phonesavanh, authorities reassured her that everything was fine, “‘He’s okay, he’s just fine, there’s nothing wrong with him,’” she recalled through tears.

“They lied to me. They kept telling me my son was okay,” she said. “When I saw his playpen I just about threw up. I got really sick, I was so scared.”

“That picture is enough to traumatize anybody knowing that there was a baby lying there,” Phonesavanh said.

When police raided the house early Wednesday morning, they dropped a “flash bang” which police concede landed and exploded in the child’s portable crib.

“It landed in his playpen and exploded on his pillow right in his face,” Phonesavanh told ABC’s Atlanta affiliate, WSB-TV.

#HNNMusic @NatashaBedingfield shares a sad story on a child's DEATH in her UK neighborhood.

Natasha posted on her Facebook page: 

Have you ever had something in your life that was so painful you could barely talk about it? I have. It happened 3 years ago but it is only now that I am able to share with you how my London community lost our darling. She was the ray of light in everyone's life. Her name was Charlotte. She was 12 years old and she was an incredible dancer. She was so dear to me and my family. There is absolutely no way feel better about her dying. It's the kind of thing that makes no sense at all and leaves your world shattered. People respond in so many different ways to grief. I am so touched by her family whose beautiful response is to keep her memory and passion for dancing alive by supporting other kids who dance. How amazing to channel your grief into helping others. Check out the work of Charlotte’s Foundation on this link: http://vimeo.com/94498489 It's inspiring

It is truly inspiring when I watched that video. I met Bedingfield at the Toronto auditions of Canadian Idol back in 2008 when I lived in Canada.

#HNNPolitics: CIA pissed off at Edward Snowden's NBC Interview? They are now releasing HIS E-MAILS!

The United States office of National Intelligence is prolly PISSED OFF at Edward Snowden's recent juicy NBC news interview that they have become desperate and started POSTING his emails on their Facebook page. lol. Seriously this is NOT even funny. Look below and it's clearer here! 

Edward J. Snowden email inquiry to the NSA Office of General Counsel
NSA has now explained that they have found one email inquiry by Edward Snowden to the Office of General Counsel asking for an explanation of some material that was in a training course he had just completed. The e-mail did not raise allegations or concerns about wrongdoing or abuse, but posed a legal question that the Office of General Counsel addressed. 

There was not additional follow-up noted. The e-mail will be released later today. There are numerous avenues that Mr. Snowden could have used to raise other concerns or whistleblower allegations. We have searched for additional indications of outreach from him in those areas and to date have not discovered any engagements related to his claims.

Ed Byers I'm no fan of Obama and feel he should get the heat for this as it happened on his watch. However Pamela is correct in that the VA has had a lot of these problems before he took office. I remember how outraged everyone was a few years ago when the Walter Reed hospital was found to be like it was in a 3rd country and in terrible condition. President Bush at the time, took heat for it

In all honesty, a lot of these problems go back several administrations and our vets deserve far better than what our government gives them in return. One day maybe our government and our so called leaders, will keep their promise and take care of the men and women who signed up to defend this nation.

Leslie Wright Piatt That guy was not the problem. Lack of funding is also a huge problem. Who can we blame for the lack of funds? All the rich politicians in Washington. They are more concerned about making more money then they are with the care if our vets. Our son was injured in Afghanistan. He has been waiting for months for an appointment.

There is so much to fix in such a short period of time and with the lack of support "we the people" are giving to our "land of promise" makes it even harder.

Elizabeth Rodriguez The VA Hospitals were supposed to be Obama's signature project. He vowed in 2008 he would do something. As usual Obama did nothing. You people that are still on his side will always find someone else to blame like Shinseki or Bush. But how long will or can you continue to blame others for this man's many and mounting failures? The white people that had white guilt or the blacks that back this man even though blacks are worse off now then they were in 2009. You people best take some time to think about the damage this man has done to our nation.

Andres Gonzalez And I'm also tired about talking about veterans like their heroes and fighting for our freedom. A vast majority of soldiers that go to war don't see battle, and they're not defending our freedom because our freedom was never in danger and hasn't been since the revolutionary war. This hero worship needs to stop.
