The singer unveiled some T.shirts from his new clothing line called O.B.O yesterday. You can buy them from his website which is already up and running. More photos after the cut...(meanwhile, some of his fans on instagram came for him for using white models for the line)
...press statement from the VP's office in response to this. Read below
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo was in Calabar and Lagos today -Thursday June 25 paying tribute to two eminent Nigerians whose lives reflect the very virtues of integrity, trustworthiness and social justice, which can lift our dear nation. The one is Late Justice P.O.E Bassey and Dr. Christopher Kolade.
He arrived Calabar at about10:30amattending the Justice P.O.E Bassey Memorial Lecture, at the University of Calabar, and left the town about3:30pm, heading for Lagos where he spoke at the Convention for Integrity 3rd Annual Lecture.Prof Osinbajo was well received in Calabar witnessed by the warmth shown him and his delegation by the people and government of Cross River State.
Claims that the town was in a lock down because of his visit is just another mischievous and baseless report from some of the same social media quarters that misled the nation in the past about his purported exclusion from security meetings. The Vice President did not even spend ten hours in Calabar and could not have locked down the town, as his convoy moved freely among the people in regular traffic as he normally does.
I personally observed several people go about their normal activities and businesses without any hinderance.
He has since returned to Abuja after his trip to both cities.
Signed

Authorities say a 10-year-old girl who was found unconscious last week after riding a roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Southern California has died at a hospital.
Coroner's Assistant Chief Ed Winter said Monday that Jasmine Martinez of Somis died Saturday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
An autopsy will determine the cause of death.
The Los Angeles County Fire Department said the girl and a parent were airlifted Friday from the park in Valencia.
The amusement park released a statement that said the girl was found breathing but unconscious after riding the Revolution.
“There is no evidence to suggest that this was in any way ride related,” the park said, according to the Los Angeles Times. “We do not know if there was a pre-existing condition.”
The 113-foot-high looping steel coaster reaches speeds of 55 mph during a two-minute ride.
The Revolution was cleared to reopen shortly after the incident but was shut down after it was announced the girl died.
The coaster has been at the park since 1976.
Michael David, a 31-year-old from Delta state reportedly murdered his wife then and reported himself to the police after he confessed to the killing, stating that his actions was the handiwork of the devil.
The suspect was involved in a fight with the victim, Oyinyechi Dennis, when he allegedly stabbed her to death at Ojoku area of Lagos.
It was learned that Michael, a carpenter, was spreading untrue rumours about his wife which led to a confrontation between two.
He narrated what happened on the said day.
“Oyinye is the mother of my son, although I did not marry her legally but when she became pregnant for me, I went to her aunty and uncle who she was living with for introduction.
’We then started living together. But we had a misunderstanding and then she packed out of my house.
“On Tuesday morning, Onyinye came to my house, I thought she just came to visit me but I later saw her mood and knew something was wrong. She confronted me with an issue she heard. She said I was spreading rumour about her living a wayward life style and not sleeping at home.
‘’She asked me if I was behind the rumour and I told her yes, that I had noticed it since she left my place.
‘’Out of anger, she picked up a bottle, broke it and threatened to deal with me and we began to fight. While we were fighting, I overpowered her and took the broken bottle from her. She rushed again to where the knife was and picked the knife.
‘’Out of anger, I collected the knife from her and mistakenly stabbed her in the stomach with the knife, shortly after she died.
“After my action, I sat for sometime thinking of what to do, whether to run away or go to the police station to report myself. I then decided to report myself at Tolu Divisional Police Station.A sister to the deceased who gave her name as Chika, claimed that the issue that led to her sister’s death started since the victim moved back to the family house.
She explained:
“When Onyinye moved her things back to the house. I asked her what was wrong, and she said nothing, that she does not want to continue leaving with Michael.
“Even a week before this incident, when Michael came to visit his son in the family house, immediately he entered, Onyinye walked out of the house. But I was surprised when he called me on Tuesday to inform me that Onyinye is dead and that he was at the police station.
‘’I immediately rushed down to the police station to find out if it was true and that was where I heard the whole story.
“What was even more surprising is the fact that on that same day, after the incident, he called one of our neighbours to tell my other sister to bring his son which she did but after sometime, he returned the boy.
‘’Maybe he was thinking of running away with his son but God did not give him the courage to do so. All I just desire now is for the police to complete investigation into the matter and let the law deal with him accordingly.”
What's sexier than a six-pack? Rocking a "flabby belly" and stretch marks, says mother of four and musician Kimberly Henderson. After fans told her she had a "perfect" body, Henderson bravely uploaded an "unedited" selfie of her bare belly to Facebook page for all to see.
She posted this on her page:
Everyone always compliments me on how I have such a "perfect" body after 4 kids. I decided to upload this pic and leave my belly "unedited" "unphotoshopped" because I used to struggle with accepting my body after kids. I used to have a six pack before my babies.. And now even though I work out I know its not going to make my loose skin tight.. Or my stretch marks disappear ever lol and I'm ok with...that because everyday I get to wake up to 4 beautiful smiling faces and I'm reminded that they are worth this flabby belly and they are worth these stretch marks. I still wear a bikini because being a mother makes me feel beautiful.. Not having a flat tummy. It took a long time to get there.. Because I struggled so much with my body. I struggled so much because I was young and all these girls my age had perfect bodies and I was in my one piece bathing suit trying to hide all my flaws. And I'm not trying to say I have it worse than anyone else or bad or anything like that just reminding you guys..
That your body is beautiful... BECAUSE we ARE moms and we ARE superheroes and we freakin ROCK and in my opinion that is sexier than any 6 pack!
"I wanted to show other women that I am just like them stretch marks, loose skin" but "I still wear a bikini because being a mother makes me feel beautiful."

Other women have followed Henderson's bold photo with some of their own, while comments generally sound something like this: "You inspire me. After having my first daughter I have been so hard on myself and accepting my body...I feel so ugly but posts like these make me stronger."
Henderson writes that one woman even told her, "Your story saved my unborn child."
And when a man wrote that he knew women with three kids and abs who "looked better," Henderson took the high road.
"That's awesome...but some women who have loose skin and stretch marks can't," she writes. "This post is about embracing your imperfections."
Ashley McTyresaid:
I wanna like this a million times. I have 3 biological kiddos and they of course took a toll on my body. I have struggled for years to finally come to terms with my stretch marks and loose skin. It's taken me forever to love my body again (and even now I have my days lol).
Kimberly Hendersonsaid:I still have my days too!! But at the end of the day.. I think to myself.. This is MY body... I have 2 choices embrace it or spend my time being upset about it!
I chose to embrace it! We're not perfect.. Especially after having babies! That's normal:) remember... confidence is sexy, motherhood is sexy, not just flat tummies and being skinny! Love you guys!you're beautiful!
In the huge rush to beat the Bank Verification Number enrollment deadline which is June 30th, 2015 however, customers of an old generation bank engaged in a brawl with members of staff of the bank in the banking hall in Enugu State.
Customers were gripped by fear over the reports that their bank accounts will be frozen if they don't enroll before the deadline.
The insistence on the BVN by bank cashiers before attending to customers also increased such fear.
The development led to an unusually large turnout of customers at banking halls in the Coal City and this has been happening since the beginning of the week.However, the matter took a different turn at an old generation bank, located in the Independence Layout area of Enugu on Thursday.
Trouble started when security personnel and operations staff of the financial institution asked some customers to go outside the banking hall to wait their turn.
About 100 customers, who had been at the bank since 6am, had trooped into the banking hall when the doors were opened by 8am.
In a bid to maintain order, the bank officials asked the first 10 among the customers to fill the BVN forms and join about 30 others who did not complete the registration the previous day.
The other customers were told to leave the banking hall, and wait outside.
But the directive did not go down well with the customers, who protested, causing commotion in the banking hall.
The situation degenerated into a full blown fight when some customers violently resisted an attempt by the bank officials to lead them out of the banking hall.
In the ensuing fracas, a young man engaged an armed riot policeman, who was attached to the bank, in a fight, while another customer exchanged blows with a bank worker.
The situation further escalated as some customers, who wanted to capitalise on the confusion to move to the front of the queue, were physically resisted by those who were already there.
Normalcy eventually returned after other bank security personnel, who were outside, stormed the banking hall to overpower the violent customers.
The branch manager of the bank later announced that the bank would open on Saturday to continue the enrollment.
The branch manager, who did not disclose her name, complained that the customers had waited until the last minute before coming to enroll for the BVN.
