So sad! Popular dancer Kemi Omotoyinbo dies during child birth

Popular dancer, choreographer and part actress Kemi Omotoyinbo has died. The beautiful lady who danced for several popular musicians including Pasuma, KWAM 1 and Shina Peters, died during childbirth in a private hospital in Lagos yesterday October 1st exactly 20 days after her wedding to husband Godwin Eloanyi, which was on September 13th.

According to her friends, Kemi was in and out of labour for several days in a private hospital and when she couldn't give birth the natural way, doctors said she would have to do a C&S. The doctors told her the operation would cost N450k and demanded an initial deposit of N300k before they do it.

According to Kemi's friends, the husband couldn't come up with the money immediately but begged the hospital to carry on with the operation that he would pay the next day (October 1st) but the hospital insisted on the deposit and refused to carry out the operation. Sadly, Kemi passed away last night.
How one of her friends told the story of what happened to Kemi
"Kemi wouldn’t have died if the doctors did pay attention to her. She was in labour for several days and was asked to pay certain amount of money before she could be operated upon. The truth is that Kemi was in labour for over one week. She tried in vain to give birth the normal way but the baby just didn’t come.
Eventually the doctor told her she would have to go through C&S. It was termed emergency C&S. The hospital told her husband that they would have to pay a sum of 450,000 for her to be operated upon. He also said that before anything could be done they would have to make a deposit of 300,000. The husband made several efforts to raise 300,000 but deposited all he had. He begged the doctors to please go ahead with the operation and would pay before the next day. That was on October 1st , the night she died."

Introducing The KoroNation

A Political Feature-piece by Ademola Olarewaju
There comes a time in the socio-political history of a people when to sit idly as things go bad becomes a sin of great consequence – some of us believe now is the time to unite, mobilise and stand against the perpetuation of one man’s stranglehold on Lagos. This emerging dynasty has held power since 1999 in a manner that defies political understanding – making Lagos the only state in the Southwest that has made its democratic freedom a ceremonial enthronement of the candidate approved by this small cabal led by one man who lives somewhere on Bourdillon Road, Ikoyi.

To fight this oligarchy that has turned our Lagos into a plutocratic society where development is measured by strides in the most urbane areas requires an acceptable platform with proven structures separate from those of the party that has ruled Lagos since 1999. It also requires a man with a strong force of personality, charisma, proven leadership qualities, campaign organisational acumen and massive grassroots support.

There is only one party that can defeat the APC in Lagos with a combination of proven structures, federal might and the right candidate, there is only one man that can lead the party to this electoral goal with a combination of street credibility, political sagacity, intellectual grounding and a thorough knowledge of Lagos; that party is the PDP and this man is Senator Musiliu Obanikoro.

From being Local Government Chairman in 1999 to being Commissioner for Home Affairs and Culture then winning elections as a senator in 2003 and leading the PDP to its closest electoral charge since the unfortunate death of Engr. Funsho Williams, Obanikoro became an Ambassador and is now a Minister at the federal level. No candidate in PDP has his clout; no other can inspire change like he can. Since crossing from the Alliance for Democracy to the Peoples Democratic Party in December 2004, Obanikoro has never looked back but pressed on with undying loyalty to the party.

Jason Derulo says he & Jordin split because he felt pressured to marry

In an interview with Ryan Seacrest today, Jason Derulo said he and longtime girlfriend Jordin Sparks broke up because he felt so much pressure to settle down...
"What happened...in a nutshell, there was a lot of tension in the relationship for a lot of different reasons... There was a lot of pressures of marriage. There was a lot of arguing and stuff like that that just weighed on our relationship over time. When you stop having more good times than bad bad times, it’s time to call it quits. It becomes something that is unhealthy. I'm not one to throw my business out on the street, but I thought it was important because things are getting a little out of hand.
To be fair, it was not just from her either. It was kind of from everybody. That’s not the sole reason, but it definitely played a part. I'll be lying if I said that we parted in good terms. But it's not a bad situation. There’s no bad blood.
We didn’t end off on a weird way or a negative way.'  Jason said..
