BEYOUNCE AND SOLANGE THROW A PARY FOR TINA KNOWLES THIER MOTHER
.
When Beyonce
throws a party, she really knows how to throw a party. On Saturday (Jan.
11), Queen Bey and her sister, Solange, gave their mother, Tina
Knowles, an epic 60th birthday party at Muriel’s Jackson Square in
New Orleans. How epic was it?
According
to the Daily Mail UK, it was a
lavish masquerade party at NOLA’s famed Creole restaurant where guests were
required to wear colorful masks in order to get in.
Beyonce
was looking ‘Flawless’ (all puns intended) in her lovely body-hugging gown and
bedazzled pink mask. Her hubby, Jay Z, appeared in a tailored tuxedo and wore a
black mask.
Meanwhile,
Solange arrived with her beau, Alan Ferguson, wearing a yellow dress and a
rainbow-designed mask. And Kelly Rowland was looking fabulous in her black
gown and diamond-encrusted mask.
The
birthday girl made a grand entrance to her party, arriving in a horse and
carriage with her boyfriend, veteran actor Richard Lawson.
Among the
celebrity guests that were in attendance included Monica,
and her husband Shannon Brown, Kris Jenner and The-Dream.
Oscar
winner Jennifer Hudson was also at the party and wished
Tina a wonderful birthday.
“Happy
birthday mama Tina! Such Beautiful woman!!! N a blessing to us all!!” wrote J.Hud on her Instagram page.
The entire
masquerade-themed soiree reportedly cost $100,000, which is a drop in the
bucket for the richest R&B singer in the biz.
Happy
Birthday, Tina Knowles!

Rivers crisis: Senator Abe shot, flown to London
*He was shot twice in the chest — Aide
*We only used tear gas, minimum force — Police
BY JIMITOTA ONOYUME & Egufe YAFUGBORHI
PORT-HARCOURT — THE steaming political crisis in Rivers State took a turn for the worse, yesterday, when Senator Magnus Abe was allegedly shot in the chest twice with a rubber bullet at a rally of the Save Rivers Movement, a pro Governor Chibuike Amaechi group at Obio/Akpor Local Council of the state.
There were conflicting accounts, claims and counter-claims over who shot the serving senator, who has been flown to London for better medication after first aid treatment in two hospitals in Nigeria. While Governor Amaechi’s aides accused the police of shooting Abe, the police distanced themselves from the act, saying that they do not use rubber bullets and did not fire any shot at the event.
Also, there was an allegation that the Minister of State for Education, Mr. Nyesom Wike, directed the police to disrupt the rally, which the minister denied.
The Chief of Staff, Government House, Port Harcourt, Mr Tony Okocha, who claimed that he was with the Senator when the Police shot him at very close range, said they also fired teargas at them, adding that one of the canisters of the teargas hit him (Chief of Staff) on his leg.
Okocha
said he had to escape into somebody’s house in the neighbourhood to
save his life, adding that the Police kept on firing the teargas to
disperse those that were there for the rally.
How we were attacked — Okocha
His words: “This morning was a huge surprise to me. It’s the turn of Obio/Akpor Local Government to host the Save Rivers Movement; we had gone to Eleme and also to Asari-Toru. Today (yesterday) is the turn of Obio/Akpor and as law-abiding citizens of Nigeria we wrote to the police, informing them of our programme and there was no negative response. We chose College of Arts and Sciences because it’s more expansive, it could accommodate at least 10,000 persons that will come out of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area today (yesterday).
“At about few minutes past 12, I received a call from somebody; highly placed, informing me that the Commissioner of Police had been reached by the Supervising Minister for Education to dislodge our people today and I couldn’t place it. About 4:30am, our men on ground, who were left there to secure the gadgets and facilities, called me to say that the police had taken over the place. For God’s sake, we are defenceless free citizens of Nigeria, we don’t carry arms. Save Rivers Movement is an organisation that insists that Rivers State must be saved, out to salvage the state from political buccaneers who want to put Rivers State into their pockets. We are in the business of sensitising our people from LGA to LGA. You are aware of a group called GDI, they go through all the LGAs with convoys of police, giving them all kinds of protection, including the commissioner of police, he’s always in their convoys, providing security for them and ensuring that what they do in the LGAs are trouble-free.
“When they called me I couldn’t place it immediately so I had to go there myself to see things. I was smoked as if I was a rabbit. I ran into someone’s house and unfortunately the man has children, they were all suffocating, they were all dying. So we had to improvise, they said we should use coke, some said kerosene would work. We had to use all of that to ensure that the man’s children live. That was what I saw; I was quarantined in somebody’s house.
“I was wondering whether it is the CP that is the chief security officer of Rivers State or the governor. They said the CP ordered that we should not gather and I said our rights to gather and associate is inalienable, you can’t take that away from us
