Veezee Reacts to Chris Brown Hook up

I'm sure some of you heard that Chris Brown supposedly hooked up with a video vixen while in Nigeria last weekend for his concert. The lady in the centre of the story is popular video vixen and model, Venita Akpofure, popularly known as Veezee baybeh (second from left). She spoke to me exclusively this evening about the speculation that went viral on Social media. Below is what she said
I didn't have any sexual contact with Chris Brown. We all hung out after the show because we have mutual friends. I actually went with Wizkid who's cool with Chris. It's not abnormal for models/vixens to meet artists in the line of work that I do. I didn't really speak with him, just hello and goodbye. It was cool to meet him and he was polite enough to take a photo with us. We hung out with him after the show and I left for home to go and prepare for Christmas. It was nothing scandalous like what is being implied.

Thausands of Pro-Gun Supporters in US wants Piers Morgan Deported

 
Pro-Gun activists in the US want outspoken CNN host and British national, Piers Morgan, deported from the country following anti-gun comments he made in the wake of the Newtown tragedy.

Fortunately for Piers, millions of Americans are behind him and support the ban of assault weapons.

Our president came under serious criticism from Nigerians after he posted his Christmas message on his Facebook page yesterday. See what he wrote below...

Christ the reason for this season


*For to us a child is born, to us a son is given—Isaiah 9: 6

WE are in that special season once again, a season of joy, of peace, of great tidings. A season when we celebrate the birth of Christ the King, the redeemer of mankind! Jesus is the reason for the season.
What does Christmas mean to you and me? I will like to draw reference from the views of two writers. The first is J. C Penney who wrote, 'Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than that. It is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving.'
Next is the thought provoking words of George F. McDougall 'Christmas means a spirit of love, a time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God
