Victoria Beckham gets attacked over her claim that she "designed" a Range Rover for husband David by the man who really designed it

Image
Victoria Beckham has been called out by the design director at Land Rover after she claimed she designed a special edition of the Range Rover for her husband David Beckham. At the launch of a special VB Evoque, the former Spice Girl claimed: "I’ve designed a car that I want to drive, a car I think David wants to drive." This claim incensed Gerry McGovern, the real designer, and he addressed it at a public event last week. He accused Victoria of exaggerating the part she played in creating the car.  He said: "She didn’t design the car… I’ve forgotten more than that woman will ever know about (car) designing – to be a car designer takes years.  When we went to China to present it, she stood up in front of the world’s press and said, 'When I designed this car…' I said, 'Victoria, that wasn’t on the script.' She said, 'Oh, I didn’t realise what I was saying.' " McGovern's annoyance goes back to a time in 2012 when Victoria Beckh...

Why Cristiano Ronaldo is hated by many and loved by more

Image
By Michael Hlophe, in South Africa Special to USAfrica multimedia networks (Houston) and USAfricaonline.com @USAfricaLive Hated by many, loved by more, but respected by all. This is normally the case for all the individuals that perform at the highest level. I have always felt that CR7 has had to prove himself more than most athletes. He is on fire as an exceptional athlete, but gets burnt by haters more often than not. Any individuals that feel that he deserves no respect should google his accolades and use YouTube as a reference of his abilities. Football lovers are aware that Ronaldo is a goal scoring machine and the most influential player for Portugal and Real Madrid. The same could be said about him in his time as a Manchester Uniteed footballer. He has won everything there is to win (except for a FIFA World Cup gold medal) at club and national level. He is labeled selfish when he outscores his counterparts such as Lionel Messi. When the likes of Luis Suarez outscor...

Plot To Islamise Nigeria Is Real – Nnamdi Kanu

Image
Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, yesterday, said that the plot to Islamise Nigeria is real but would be resisted. Kanu said that no part of Nigeria within Biafra territory will be islamised in his life time. The IPOB leader said this while addressing a huge crowd of Biafra activists when he visited Nri, the ancestral home of Ndigbo. At Nri, Kanu, who was accompanied by his wife, visited the historic “Ohianwehi” revered as “forest of life” by Igbo tradition. It is believed that it was where the first burnt offering was scarified by the Jewish Igbo ancestors when they migrated from Israel about 300 years ago. Kanu and his entourage prayed at the entrance of the “forest of life” which according to stories nobody had entered into over 300 years ago. Addressing the crowd of Biafra supporters that gathered at Nri community square to catch a glimpse of him, the IPOB leader told them that the alleged plot to Islamise Nigeria was real but would b...

Image
The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Audu Ogbeh, has said Nigeria is set to supply 130,000 tonnes of roasted cashew nuts to the Walmart Super Market chain in the United States of America. He said the 130,000 cashew is valued at $7 billion. Chief Ogbeh said the US firm came to Nigeria to request for 130,000 tonnes of roasted cashew nuts and their demand is 130,000 tonnes of cashew nuts per annum, with a total value of $7 billion. “We are in conversations with Walmart, the biggest supermarket chain in the US. They came here and asked us to roast cashew nuts for them. “What Nigeria currently does is ship the nuts to Vietnam, which in turn roasts and sell to the US. This year, we are going to create six cashew processing factories in Nigeria, each to be cited in Enugu, Imo, Benue, Kogi, Kwara and Oyo states. These are the cashew belts for now. These options are coming now because Nigeria is beginning to focus on non-oil export.” Meanwhile, a recent data from the Na...

Kidnapping, Badoo Killings And The Rising Level Of Insecurity In Lagos. A Must Read...

Image
Lagos CP Fatai Owoseni By New Independence Group Close to 60 days after the now sadly famous six schoolboys of Igbo Nla in Epe were abducted while studying, anxiety continues to mount over their safety, as fears are now being expressed over the possibility of unpalatable reality that the kidnappers, having been paid substantially, are unable to return them as a result of the unthinkable. At the New Independence Group( NIG), we earnestly pray and hope for the safe return of the kids, in the hope that they are not already traumatized beyond what they could bear. It is very worrisome that children are being routinely grabbed even from the allegedly fortified walls of schools by criminals, as a means of extorting parents, rightly or wrongly, regarded as well off. It is terrifying for parents to worry daily about their kids returning safely from school, bearing in mind the possibility of a strange, heartrending call about their abduction. It is doubtful too, that the remaining stud...
