Brother Dies Hour After Sister Commits Suicide

One family, many tragedies: Ricky and Brenda Tucker were together at the Detroit bar where Brenda worked early Sunday when Brenda, 21, went into a back room and shot herself in the chest. She was loaded into an ambulance, and her 20-year-old brother sped behind. En route to the hospital, his car is believed to have strayed across the center line, and he crashed into an SUV. Both siblings ended up at the same hospital, where they were pronounced dead, the Detroit Free Press reports. (The other driver suffered minor injuries.)

Brenda had suffered from depression, but sister Amandajo Holman says she doesn't know why her sister decided to kill herself. "She was going to college to become something," Holman says. "She was going to be a social worker." It's just the latest tragedy to befall the family. Holman, 24, also recently lost her father, father-in-law, and her mother's longtime boyfriend. The Detroid says Ricky Tucker actually killed his stepfather (it's unclear which of the men cited in the Free Press article that is) in self-defense about six months ago. "They were shooting back and forth," says his uncle.

Dbanj Dumps Polo Boss Daughter, Jennifer Obayuwana After Long Term Romance

The talk of the town hot and steamy relationship between Polo Boss' daughter Jennifer and Nigeria's number one serial playboy/bachelor Dbanj has fizzled out. The former lovers reportedly parted ways amicably and are still friends,however having sex has been ruled out of their friendship for now....not sure oh.

Jennifer Obayuwana is the fashionista daughter of the very stylish Mr. John Obayuwana, the MD/CEO of one of Nigeria's topmost Luxury company, known to all as POLO LTD. In fact Jenny or J-Wonder, like most who know her prefers to call her, is the very hardworking, globe-trotting Executive Director of the 5-star company. Since she took up more powerful executive role in her father's company (which includes CAT Construction), which in a way she practically runs now, it has been an upward swing unprecedented for the brand, with many world renowned watch brands the likes of Rolex, Breguet, Cartier, Hublot, Gaga Milano etc coming on board and having very strategic relationship with Polo Ltd, all of these successes kudos to the gorgeous & hardworking Jennifer. All the while she was having great successes on the business front, she was also seemingly having fun on the love front then with her then beau D Banj.



Since Dapo Oyebanji aka D banj, aka Banger Lee, the only Eja Nla in Nigeria let it slip sometime ago that he & Jennifer were in a love relationship, loads & loads of media frenzy followed the revelation. To some then, it was like it was a match made in heaven; With D banj being the most visible Nigerian entertainer in the world and an eligible bachelor at that,

whilst Jennifer, is also an eligible bachelorette, one that is being primed to take over her father's multimillion dollar rated company. Everyone was thinking it would be like one of those happily ever after love stories we get to read about in all those novels. With many openly exclaiming how wow it was that finally, someone of Jennifer's pedigree was the one, that had finally won the heart of such a player as D banj.

But alas, after only a few months of the whirlwind romance, which many had thought might have led to one of the weddings of the year, the steam in the love relationship seem to have totally evaporated, the once celebrated love has since waned and in its place just a platonic friendship remains; with both sides just there for each other, to support each other as friends any which way they can.

Jennifer, who only just returned a few weeks ago from a short course at the Columbia Business School, Manhattan, New York, USA where she had gone to brush up on her knowledge of business, preparatory for some bigger challenges ahead, has since moved on to pasture new.

According to some little information we could gather, the very very busy schedule of the duo, coupled with some 'other factors' might have been the reason(s) for the break-up. Now unlike sometimes ago in the immediate past, when it was always stress coupled with so much anxiety for Jennifer while the relationship was still hot hot, it has been more of bliss and contentment now for her now, since both have parted ways and moved on.

Doll and The White Roses.

I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back.The boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.The Cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll."Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ''Granny,are you sure I don't have enough money?''The old lady replied: ''You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear.''Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look a round. She left quickly.The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to."It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas.She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her."I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry.But he replied to me sadly. "No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there."His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.''My heart nearly stopped.The little boy looked up at me and said: "I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall."Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me "I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me.""I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister."Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. "Suppose we checkagain, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''"OK" he said, "I hope I do have enough." I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.The little boy said: "Thank you God for giving me enough money!"Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that

You are a masterpiece...The story of a Plum!

A plum once said, just because a banana lover came by, I converted myself into a banana. Unfortunately, his taste changed after a few months and so I became an orange. When he said I was bitter I became an apple, but he went in search of grapes. Yielding to the opinions of so many people, I have changed so many times that I no more know who I am. How I wish I had remained a plum and waited for a plum lover.

Just because a group of people do not accept you as you are, there is no necessity for you to strip yourself of your originality. You need to think good of yourself, for the world takes you at your own estimate. Never stop down in order to gain recognition. Never let go of your true self to win a relationship. In the long run, you will regret that you traded your greatest glory - your uniqueness, for momentary validation. Even Gandhi was not accepted by many people. The group that does not accept you the way you are, is not your world.

There is a world for each one of you, where you shall reign as king / queen by just being yourself. Find that world... in fact, that world will find you.

A very touching story: a must read

A woman came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find her 5-year old son waiting for her at the door.

SON: 'Mummy, may I ask you a question?'

MUM: 'Yeah sure, what it is?' replied the woman.

SON: 'Mummy, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?' the woman said angrily.
SON: 'I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?'

MUM: 'If you must know, I make $50  an hour.'

SON: 'Oh,' the little boy replied, with his head down.

SON: 'Mummy, may I please borrow $25?'

The mother was furious, 'If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don't work hard everyday for such childish frivolities.'

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door..

The woman sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask
