Interest Facts About Janet Jackson's Love Life





Once upon a time, Janet Jackson of the fabulous musical Jackson clan eloped with James DeBarge, from another famous singing family, the DeBarges.

In the 80s, the DeBarge group was on the rise, even as the Jackson 5 faltered due to Michael Jackson's "defection," and James and Janet's marriage was big news.

James, then 21, was handsome, charming, and dashing. The seventh of the nine DeBarge siblings, he swept the  18-year-old Janet off her feet.


Their elopement was a scandal and a seven-day wonder, especially since Joseph Jackson, the family's 'Dadager,' was vehemently opposed to the union.


But James had another problem. The "pretty boy" of R&B was also a cocaine addict. A little over a year after their marriage, Joe Jackson had the marriage annulled. The love was over and Janet and James moved on with their lives.


In 1991 she and sometime collaborator Rene Elizondo Jr hooked up and wed in secret, hoping to keep their love out of the spotlight. "People in this industry don't get a fair chance with some things, and especially marriage," she says. "I wanted to have as normal a marriage as possible, and we both felt the best way to do that was to keep it quiet," she said at the time. The two did keep it quiet, until Rene filed for divorce in 2000.


James Debarge revealed that when his marriage to Janet was annulled she was pregnant, and had given birth to their child in secret. Bunny DeBarge, James's sister declared that she had seen Janet pregnant and stated: “When the marriage was annulled (...) Janet was pregnant and James believed that as well.”

James' bombastic revelation came at a particularly sensitive time, as Janet was expecting her first child at 50, and gave birth to her son Eissa Al Mana in January 2017.


In the aftermath of the revelation, several women came forward, claiming to be the long lost DeBarge-Jackson baby, and claiming a slice of fame and Janet's not-inconsiderable fortune, modestly calculated to be worth close to $190 million in 2020.


A Philadelphia woman named Tiffany Whyte approached James' mother Etterlene DeBarge and presented herself as her granddaughter. The two women had a DNA test done, which proved unequivocally that Tiffany really is her grandchild. She declared:

“Now it’s time for me to tell my truth. Now that I got the DNA from my grandmother (...) it is for sure that they are my parents"(Janet Jackson and James Debarge) 


Tiffany, who grew up in the foster care system is convinced that Janet is her mother, and said with some bitterness: “She has been denying me for many years. I’ve waited 31 years. I’ve been kept a secret for a very long time and I want people to know the truth.”


In 2001 Janet released the wildly popular album All For You and found herself both successful and unattached. "All this is really new for me," she said of being on the singles scene. "I've never dated. In my family, we grew up Jehovah's Witnesses, so you're not supposed to date until you're thinking of marriage. I got married when I was 18, and then I got an annulment, and then Rene came into my life. So here I am and I know nothing about the whole dating thing..."


The beautiful singer did not remain single for long. A year later Janet began seeing the man she refers to as her "soulmate", hip-hop producer Jermaine Dupri. "I always wanted to find love," she said. "Now, that I found love, I'm in a different space now. Jermaine is drama-free."

HORROR! Buhari Has Concluded Plans To Make Nigeria A Homeland For Fulani World Over

 

Shocking! Buhari And Northern Nigeria Fulani Oligarchs Have Concluded Plans To Make Nigeria The Homeland For All Fulanis In Africa

Another civil war in Nigeria has become imminent and inevitable. The reason for its inevitability is simply because Muhammadu Buhari, the Northern Nigeria Fulani oligarchs and the wider network of Fulani in Sub- Saharan Africa have concluded plans to adopt Nigeria as the homeland for all Fulanis in Africa.

Fulanis have realised that the wandering and rootless lifestyle of cattle herding is no longer tenable in the twenty- first century. Fulani need to have land to call home and rear cattle and that land should be Nigeria. The indigenous peoples of Nigeria have clearly, vehemently and stridently opposed this diabolic plan and both sides are mobilising for war.

The Fulani won' t relent and the indigenous people will not give up their land.

The same Fulani Project, having failed so shamelessly and woefully in the Central African Republic, will not be allowed to fail this time as the Nigerian Fulani project is better funded with the massive [stealing] of the sovereign wealth of Nigeria through nationwide kidnapping for ransom by lower class Fulani and the seizure of the reigns of Government and wealth by the elite Fulani.

Kidnapping and the seizure of the institutions of Government are all for the purpose of implanting Fulani into the mainstream and control of politics and the economy of Nigeria for the objective of funding the Fulani Project in Nigeria.

Central African Republic (CAR) has gone through exact same experience that Nigeria is going through right now in the hands of the Fulani. The country has been run down by the killings and destitution wrought by rival gangs in the fight to destroy the chokehold the Fulani had on the politics and economy of their country. Although the Fulani hegemony over the CAR has been defeated, the street gangs that defeated the armed forces have turned on one another and themselves, unable to rise above petty gang warfare to rebuild their nation.

The Heartbreaking Moment My Wife Died

 


In a few days, ' my destiny-in-marriage ' will be laid to rest and I can't help thinking back how all this horror movie started from no where.


Chisom didn't deserve to die, I don't deserve this fate. She was so prayerful and full of life until I came to the hospital that fateful evening.


Pained out from the complicated CS, and its accompanied bleeding, I saw my woman looking pale and weak but she was still hopeful that she would be alright, somehow, for such was her faith in God. I remember vividly her words, " Sugar I did it, I did this for us. Do you like our babies ? I hope they are beautiful ? "


Then came the most hellish and haunting moment of my life. I had been called by the mother who said that Som Som wanted to see me.


I dashed into the room where she was lying and knew that something was wrong, devastatingly wrong. She was there staring at me as if she wanted to say something, her mouth made no sounds, there was this look on her face as if to say BABY, PLEASE HELP ME.


I was horrified and felt even guilty, I couldn't do anything and she stared a little more and finally succumbed to the gnarling pains.


So, our love story goes cold.


Som Som, I am so sorry it has to be this way, life wasn't fair to us, it wasn't.


How can a lady who never showed anger die ? How can the lady who was just happy to live and  see me happier die ?  What kind of life does this wickedness ?


I have dedicated my life to cherish what is left of us, our children. They are growing up fine. I have named our daughter after you, Chimsom. Our son Kambiri is doing just fine too, he is a voracious eater and has a way of being stubborn in a sweet way. Chimsom is a Drama Queen, calculated and always giving me trouble especially during the milk feeding session where she would simply hold back the milk in her mouth instead of swallowing and would then let it out, making a mess of herself. This is fun that I regret you are not here to share with me.


Yes, I have gotten a nanny, it is noteworthy that she is the same woman that carried you as an infant and tended you, I went for her because your mummy told me how she took care of you in your infancy. She will be giving all her care to our babies while I in return see she is paid handsomely, I have no other life away from Kambiri and Chimsom.




I loved you and will always do, have you considered why I always come to check on you at the Mortuary, I guess the attendants at the mortuary are already tired of my familiar teary face. What do they know ?


Words elude me. Reason cannot appeal to me, just rest on my Woman. You were too precious for this imperfect world.


You would have still been the living mother of twins ( Mama Ejima ) if not for that useless doctor and his ineptness. Rest In Peace My Angel, you are an Angel.

The Classiest Woman To Ever Walk On Planet Earth

 


One of the most refined women to walk on planet earth. Her comportment was extraordinary and was talked about world over. 


She was always there for our family in her special way. She was a blessing to us and to the nation -- and a lesson to the world on how to do things right, how to be a mother, how to appreciate history, how to be courageous. No one else looked like her, spoke like her, wrote like her, or was so original in the way she did things. No one we knew ever had a better sense of self.” - Ted Kennedy’s eulogy for First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis; May 1994

Lady Narrates How She Dumped A Guy Who Only Said "Wow" When She Told Him Her Problem

 


"Lmao I remember when I first moved back and I was seeing this guy, I was driving to hang with him and suddenly my car stops. I had kinda just started driving so I was so nervous. I was close to his so i text him saying my car had stopped, and he replied saying “o wow” & that was it.

"Some street side guys had to call some roadside mechanic for me who helped me sort out whatever the issue was. Dude text me “are you still coming?” and I just drove my ass back home and that, as they say, was that."

"There's two types of people in this world. The “oh wows” and the “let me sort it out”. One time when my friend & I’s flight got unceremoniously cancelled, she called her man to tell him. Before we could say jack robinson, mans got 2 tickets for us on another airline."

"I refunded my bit of course but it was the thoughtfulness and the action for meee. So ladies, don’t settle for an “oh wow” ass n***a, get you a “sort it out” n***a. Cos effort is sexy."

Obama Thanks His Wife, Michelle For Being An Incredible Mum To Their Daughters

 



On this Mother’s Day, I want to thank Michelle for being such an incredible mom to our girls. And I hope you’ll take a moment to thank the women in your life who love you in that special way that mothers do: biological moms, adoptive moms, and foster moms; single moms, grandmoms and godmothers; aunts and mentors—all the people who come to mind when you think about Mother’s Day. Or take a moment, like I will, to remember the moms who raised and sustained us, and who we miss every day—no matter how long it’s been. All of these amazing people deserve our gratitude, today and every day.

The Sad Drug Induced End OF Whitney Houston




While the glory of her voice propelled Whitney Houston into the pop stratosphere, her demons kept dragging her down, a powerful undertow of drugs and toxic relationships.

Scheduled  to appear at the pre-Grammy Awards party given annually by her mentor, the music impresario Clive Davis, on February 11, Whitney Houston arrived in Los Angeles a week early, without fanfare, and checked into the Beverly Hilton with her small entourage under the pseudonym Elizabeth Collins. She was put in Room 434, which the hotel calls a “presidential junior,” consisting of a small sitting room, bedroom, and bath.

 Whitney is not one to take serious care of her voice, unlike Celine Dion, who “wouldn’t speak for 24 hours before we were going to record,” says Foster, who produced many of both singers’ hits. “Whitney, even when she’d been filming all day, would come into the studio and—bang,” he says, “she’d rip her jacket off, and she’d be starting to sing. She was focused, and she was at the top of her vocal game.”


By the late 90s, however, her voice would begin to betray her, and she would have to lower the keys in live performances. The reason wasn’t just cigarettes and her age.


Whitney’s drug use escalated after the 1993 birth of her only child, Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown. She started lacing her joints with cocaine, as she later told Oprah Winfrey. She confessed that she would spend her days and nights getting high with Bobby, watching TV, not getting out of her pajamas for seven months, while Brown lost control—“he would smash things, break things … cutting my head off a picture.” In short, she began the degrading process of what Oprah would call “making herself smaller … so the man could be bigger.”


In 1994, Whitney showed up two hours late to a White House state dinner, where she was to perform for Nelson Mandela. 


By the 1996 release of The Preacher’s Wife with Denzel Washington, she was doing drugs every day, she later admitted to Oprah. “I was losing myself,” she said. 


In 1999 she canceled five concerts, and in 2000 she was caught with half an ounce of marijuana in the Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, airport. In March 2000 she was supposed to sing “Somewhere over the Rainbow” at the Oscars, but at rehearsals she appeared disoriented and couldn’t remember the words. A reporter told Dateline, “Bobby Brown was sitting in the front row, drunk, with a coat over his head.”


In 2000 she showed up four hours late for a photo shoot for Jane magazine. In the interview that accompanied the photos, she was asked to compare hanging out with a president (she had met Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush at the White House) and with a junkie. She responded, “Just the same. The president gets off on the country, the junkie gets off on a couple of hits.”


At the celebration of Michael Jackson’s 30th anniversary as a solo artist, in September 2001, Houston arrived stick-thin, with the bones in her clavicle showing, a walking advertisement for the evils of drug abuse. Her publicist attributed the weight loss to stress over family matters. However, her hairdresser, Ellin LaVar, tells me, “I went into the bathroom with her that night and I said, ‘Look at you! You keep this up and you are going to die.’ I didn’t know what ‘this’ was, but she cried and said, ‘I know.’ The show went on, as always. Once again, Whitney was propped up by those who depended upon her to perform, no matter what. “That same night a stylist said, ‘Whitney, you look fabulous,’ ” says LaVar. “I said, ‘Why did you say that? Whitney doesn’t look good!’ ”


On September 10, 2001, after she canceled an appearance at another Michael Jackson event, reports surfaced that she was dead of a drug overdose. 


At times when Whitney was down, she would turn to the Lord. Even during her final days, in Los Angeles, she spoke about God frequently, praying in a nightclub with recording artist El DeBarge, with whom she shared a struggle with addiction, and asking Reginald Dowdley, a makeup artist hired for only one day, “Sweetie, are you saved?”

 Dixon, Whitney’s hairdresser for seven years, remembers how excited the singer was about her renewed career after the rehab . 


This past winter, she was doing her best to quit smoking, not just cut back again. Intent on looking her best, she also decided to have a face-lift, but Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Marc Mani reportedly refused to do it after she failed the routine physical, which indicates the condition of a patient’s heart, liver, and lungs.


As she left Tru after an event, the night exploded with “a million paparazzi flashes,” says Lattimore. The photographers captured Whitney with scratches on her arm and blood on her legs as a crowd of people screamed her name and tried to get her attention. She returned to her hotel, where she asked Tiffanie Dixon to read the Bible with her. Dixon recalls, “Her glasses were broken, but she read by holding the little single lens. She had marked pages—Exodus, Mark, and Matthew. 


The last thing I remember her saying was ‘I just want to love and be loved. I want to love like Jesus did. Unconditionally.’ ”

Help ! My Mother Is Sexually Attracted To Me



Goodafternoon Aunty Susan 

I love and admire your personality so much, keep on the good work

Please I need an advice on an issue bothering me so much

Please hide my identity 

Thank you

I'm raised alone by my mum. Yes of a truth she is a good woman and she did all she can to bring me up and she never got married reasons best known to her.

Some years back then in school University ( I stay in school) I observed she was too clingy to me what I mean is she doesn't give me breathing space, she can call me hundred times a day   to check on me and always want to know where I am, even have my friends number too  whom she always call anytime I don't pick her call and she was always asking them about my movements, her frequent calls and over protectiion became a distraction to, I actually thought maybe because I'm her only child she was trying to protect me and all that. 

That trend continues like that not until when my boyfriend then told me it seems my mum is emotionally attracted to me, I never took it so serious and overlook his statement.

After sometime I began to observe my mum closely and realized what my boyfriend then told was actually the truth.

My mum sees every man around me as her rival that  any day I go on a date or spend time with them she will never allow me to rest with calls asking me to come back quickly that she is feeling lonely, I was like lonely as in how and that affects my relationship with those men which eventually ends. She is always naked in the room without shame and often time sit down with her legs wide open with her private part expose which I quarrel her about. She always use some words on me like, your boobs is becoming bigger, your breast is looking good and so many unpleasant words I don't expect from her, in short she is so obsessed about me.

It came to the extent I became afraid that this woman might lure me one day.

When I couldn't bear all this and I can't tell anyone about it, I have to leave to another location telling her I'm going in search of a job because then I don't have a paying job yet but I was learning a skill hoping to get established anytime soon since no job was coming forth.

That was how I ran away from my mum because I cant imagine committing such abominable.

As it is now I can't stay under the same roof with her, I can't go to visit her what I do is to send money to her.

This is what I'm silently battling with 

Please I need an advice on how to handle this


Why The Man Who Assaulted His Wife For Not Taking Permission For Cutting Her Hair Is Wrong



 A woman was physically assaulted by her husband for cutting and colouring her hair for her 34th birthday and many Nigerians on soicla media see nothing wrong in what her husband did to her. 


They said that the woman should have gotten her husband's consent before cutting or changing her hair colour.


Her own hair.

An adult.

34 years old woman. 


Hahahaha. 


These people make marriage sound like a slave and master relationship.

Where the man is the master, while the wife is the slave who has to take permission to shit. 


I tried to imagine myself asking for Mr. Milly's permission to do whatever I want with my hair and my brain couldn't even process the image.

It can never be me.


If I even try to ask for permission, the Mr. Milly I know will laugh at me and ask if I've lost my mind.

And he'll be right to ask if I've lost my mind because I'll only do that if I've lost my mind. 


Even as a teen my parents had no such power over me.

If I didn't take permission to do the hair style I want when I was under my parents, is it now that I'm my own woman I'll start taking permission?


Let me laugh again at the ridiculousness.


Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Bill Gates Transferred $1.8B In Stock To Melinda On Day Of Divorce News

 



Bill Gates’ investment firm transferred $1.8 billion in stock to his wife, Melinda, the same day the couple announced their separation after 27 years of marriage.


Cascade Investment, a holding company that the Microsoft co-founder formed to manage much of his financial assets, transferred more than 14 million shares of Canadian National Railway to Melinda Gates on Monday, according to a securities filing


On the same day, the firm transferred more than 2.9 million shares of AutoNation to Melinda Gates, a separate filing shows.


Based on Wednesday’s stock prices, the Canadian National Railway holdings are worth more than $1.5 billion and the shares of AutoNation, a Fort Lauderdale, Fla.-based company that sells cars, are valued at over $300 million.


The transferred shares represent more than 3 percent of all outstanding AutoNation stock, and about 2 percent for that of The Canadian National Railway.


The transfers are among the first indications of how one of the world’s wealthiest couples will go about divvying up their assets as they separate.


The couple’s divorce petition, which was filed Monday in King County Superior Court in Washington state, indicated that they don’t have a prenuptial agreement to distribute their estimated $130 billion in assets.


Instead, the two have signed a separation contract for dividing their property and possessions, but the terms of that agreement have not been publicly disclosed in court documents.


Cascade Investment, which reportedly manages a whopping $30 billion of Gates’ personal financial holdings, will be one of the key assets to watch.


Another important asset category at stake is the couple’s ownership of American farmland. NY Post

What The Innocent Looking Picture Of Iniobong's Killer Says

 


The murder suspect, Uduak Frank Akpan here looks like a normal "bobo" that any young girl can easily fall in love with and bring home to daddy and mommy and even marry. And they would seemingly live happily ever with the proceeds from his thriving human parts business, until one day when they have that misunderstanding and he kills her like he's used to doing.


Unfortunately it would "shock" her family and friends  because there were no background checks and he doesn't look the part of a murderer like we're used to seeing, anyway. I bet he goes to church on Sundays too🙄.


It's time we go back to background checks on the friends our children bring home or are closely involved with, especially future partners. It's okay to be a nosy Parker regarding your children's businesses. Some might say it's being overly protective 


Yes, we're not God and we always pray for our children, but as parents, we must do the best we humanly can and know that the rest is out of our control. Lest we forget, the times are perilous and the children of perdition are on the loose. Let's think about it.

How Legendary Singer, James Brown Was Sentenced To Jail For Robbery At The Age Of 16




At the age of 16, he was convicted of robbery and sent to a juvenile detention center in Toccoa. There, he formed a gospel quartet with four fellow cellmates, including Johnny Terry. Brown met singer Bobby Byrd when the two played against each other in a baseball game outside the detention center. Byrd also discovered that Brown could sing after hearing of "a guy called Music Box", which was Brown's musical nickname at the prison. Byrd has since claimed he and his family helped to secure an early release, which led to Brown promising the court he would "sing for the Lord". 


Brown was released on a work sponsorship with Toccoa business owner S.C. Lawson. Lawson was impressed with Brown's work ethic and secured his release with a promise to keep him employed for two years. 


Shortly after being paroled he joined the gospel group the Ever-Ready Gospel Singers, featuring Byrd's sister Sarah.


Berry Trimier became the group's first manager, booking them at parties near college campuses in Georgia and South Carolina. The group had already gained a reputation as a good live act when they renamed themselves the Famous Flames. 


In 1955, the group had contacted Little Richard while performing in Macon. Richard convinced the group to get in contact with his manager at the time, Clint Brantley, at his nightclub. Brantley agreed to manage them after seeing the group audition. He then sent them to a local radio station to record a demo session, where they performed their own composition " Please, Please, Please ", which was inspired when Little Richard wrote the words of the title on a napkin and Brown was determined to make a song out of it.


The Famous Flames eventually signed with King Records' Federal subsidiary in Cincinnati, Ohio, and issued a re-recorded version of "Please, Please, Please" in March 1956. The song became the group's first R&B hit, selling over a million copies. None of their follow-ups gained similar success. 


By 1957, Brown had replaced Clint Brantley as manager and hired Ben Bart, chief of Universal Attractions Agency. That year the original Flames broke up, after Bart changed the name of the group to "James Brown and The Famous Flames".

Pastor Beats Pregnant Wife To Coma 3 Months After Their Wedding In Kwara

 Pastor beats his pregnant wife to coma three months after their wedding in Kwara


The pastor and founder of Victor's Church, Ilorin, Kwara State, Folayemi Richard, has reportedly beaten his pregnant wife, Odunola, to coma over a rift between them, at their residence in Ita Olodan, Upper Gaa-Akanbi in Ilorin town. 


Speaking with The Informant, the wife said the incident occurred in January 2021 when their wedding was three months old and her pregnancy was a month old.


“Last year, September 26, we got married, and we've been living together as husband and wife. When our wedding was one month old, that was when a terrible crisis occurred. We had a disagreement. Suddenly, he ordered me to stand up and that he would take me to a hospital, where he would dump me.


He started insulting my parents; I cautioned him. He slapped me and began to beat me. He got a cable wire which we use for speakers in the church and beat me. I started shouting for help. I became so weak. I dashed out of the house; he followed me and started dragging me on the ground, saying he did not want the marriage again.


At this time, people had already gathered and were begging him. He locked me out and went to my parents. When he came back again, he ordered me to leave his home,” she narrated.


Odunola has complained to the National Human Right Commission to seek justice over the matter. She also alleged that her husband had denied her access to move her belongings from the house. She added that her certificates and other valuables are still in the house.
