Betty Irabo advice for celebrities.

Betty Irabo, the founder of The Pink Ball Cancer Benefit recently went on Twitter to advise celebrities on how best to manage their marriages. The Publisher of Genevieve Magazine advised Nigerian celebrities to stop living their lives on social media.
“Celebrities should try to keep their union private, and away from media scrutiny”.

She advised “Celebrity couples should stop living their lives on twitter and Instagram; it’s ok in the real world for couples to disagree”, Irabor wrote. “The media puts too much pressure on celebrities and their private lives, no wonder celebrity marriages are crumbling like a pack of cards. she tweeted. “But if celebrity couples are true to themselves and are not playing out a script, they can make their marriages work, regardless. The media is too harsh on celebrities! Celebrity couples sometimes deserve what they get when all they do is take each other to the cleaners on the social media. Marriage is for grown ups!!”

Oscar Pistorius trial: South African prosecutors to appeal against culpable homicide verdict and sentence

South Africa's National Prosecuting Authority has said it will appeal against the conviction and sentence given to Oscar Pistorius. Prosecutors were not happy with the culpable homicide conviction and five-year prison sentence given by Judge Thokozile Masipa. Pistorius who began his prison term on 21 October is currently eligible for release after ten months to complete his sentence under house arrest.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel had argued that only ten years' imprisonment would satisfy the public. Some legal experts believe Judge Masipa erred in her interpretation of "murder dolus eventualis", a legal term for when the perpetrator foresees the possibility of his action causing death and persists regardless. Masipa accepted that a "reasonable" person would have foreseen that shooting into the door of a small toilet cubicle may have killed the person inside.

However, she said South African law warns against automatically assuming that because a perpetrator "should have" foreseen the consequences of his actions that he actually did. The onus was on the state to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Pistorius foresaw the fatal consequences of his actions when he shot at the door, but the judge said the prosecution failed to do so.

In a statement released the NPA said that the appeal on conviction is based on the question of law. "The merits, demerits of the NPA's argument in this regard will become evident when we file papers for leave to appeal," it said. "The prosecutors are now preparing the necessary papers in order to be able to file within the next few days." June Steenkamp, Reeva's mother, said the family had been "devastated" when Masipa ruled out murder and pre-meditated murder, but said that after sentencing they felt that justice had been done. "We were happy with the sentence – five years is sufficient," she said.

INI EDO DIVORCE TALE GETS MESSIER

It is no longer news that marriage of beautiful Nollywood actress, Ini Edo to her American based business man, Phillips Ehiagwina has crashed. But the event has taken another dimension as her in-laws threatened to make public some of her dirty dealings while she was still legally married to her husband, Philips Ehiagwina, while also calling her a liar for saying she never cheated on her husband.
A source close to the family said: “Ini Edo should shut up about the marriage crash because with the way she is going; by trying to paint Phillip as the wrong party, we may be forced to open her can of worms and it will not be palatable to her and her career. I can tell you that Ini Edo is a serial cheat who played the field behind her husband’s back for the duration of their marriage. Is she going to deny she was dating one Island big boy whose girlfriend organised her friends to beat her up and injure her? Ini Edo is not as innocent as she is trying to make people believe or think.”

According to the source, they caught Ini Edo on three different occasions with different men and if she dares them, they will mention the name of a South-South governor she had an affair with.

Also speaking on the matter, a close friend of her husband said: “Did she tell you how Phillip embarrassed her in front of her people when he went to collect his bride price? He told her people the kind of adulterous daughter they have and how she had been cheating on him right from the first day they were married. In fact, he did not want to collect the bride price but her people begged him to collect it as that would free her to get married to another man in the future.”
