EXPOSED!! Sen Ben Murray-Bruce owns a $5m mansion in Beverly Hills (Photos)
Hmm seems like someone is trying to nail our *Common Sense * senator
Sahara Reporters are saying that common sense senator, Ben Murray Bruce may have used the loan he got from Union Bank to accuquire a $5million mansion in Beverly Hills, USA
See how they reported it below
An investigation by SaharaReporters has revealed that Bayelsa Senator Benjamin Murray-Bruce may have illegally diverted a loan he obtained from Union Bank of Nigeria to purchase a posh property in Beverly Hills, California in 2007. Mr. Murray-Bruce has been in the spotlight lately after the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) on June 23, 2016 seized several of his Silverbird media companies for failing to make payments on billions of naira in loans.
Mr. Murray-Bruce, the self-proclaimed Commonsense Senator, was one of the most vocal senators during the #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira, a movement that criticizes those who needlessly import foreign goods. He touted his reputation for building businesses in Nigeria to champion the importance of domestic investment in goods.
Several banking sources in Nigeria told SaharaReporters that the N11 billion loan Mr. Murray-Bruce took out from Union Bank around 2007 was supposed to be used to construct the Abuja Entertainment Center. According to the sources, instead of using the loan to fund his Nigerian business operations, Mr. Murray-Bruce diverted it to purchase an opulent property in the Beverly Hills area of Los Angeles and London.
The Los Angeles County Property Assessor's Office, the Real Estate Records office, and the Special Investigation unit confirmed to SaharaReporters that the Nigerian senator from Bayelsa State purchased a property on August 6th, 2007 and remains the owner. The address is 605 North Camden Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210.
A public records search, also confirmed by municipal employees in Los Angeles County, assessed the value of Senator Murray-Bruce's land at $3.1 million. The value of the mansion and other structures at the property was estimated at no less than $795,000.
The senator's Beverly Hills swanky property has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a swimming pool and is estimated to be at least 2,777 square feet. Assessments of real estate platforms show that the property is worth $5 million as of today.
SaharaReporters also obtained a bond receipt document that confirmed Mr. Murray-Bruce's ties to the property. The document also listed Stella Albright as having a connection to the property. A public records search of Mrs. Albright found that she was a board member of a company, Dream Magic Studios LLC, alongside Mr. Murray-Bruce.
HONOR !! Chis Brown's publicist quits after he called her a b*tch
Chris Brown's publicist has tendered her resignations after Chris Brown called her a do nothing b*tch after he got frustrated with her.
According to TMZ,
Chris Brown went ballistic on a publicist, referring to her as a do-nothing "bitch," and the publicist fired back that she spent all of her time cleaning up his "s***t."
Chris had an angry exchange with PR guru Nicole Perna over magazine covers he wanted for his clothing line. The conversation started with Perna texting him, "Loooove all the black pyramid pieces ... awesome collection!"
A frustrated Brown did not receive the compliment well, saying, "I don't want you texting me compliments with no results." He went on to accuse Perna of doing nothing to secure Vogue, GQ or any other publications, telling her, "Get in the game."
And then the fireworks started. Perna lashed out, "Anna Wintour doesn't want to f*** with you. These editors don't want to f*** with you." She goes on, "The majority of my time is spent on damage control. I am constantly cleaning s*** up and having your back."
Brown fires back, "NICOLE, you texting me as if I will give a f*** if u dont work for me or not ... Do whatever makes u feel better. Me personally, I DONT GIVE A F***!!!"
Mick G, Chris' manager who just sued the singer for allegedly attacking him, was included in the string of texts. Chris then texted, "Mike, this bitch got all the balls in the world talking to me but can't talk to the editors or anyone for that matter when they release bulls*** in the press ... Send this bitch her termination."
And then, Perna texts Chris, "Chris, respect. You're in my prayers x."
Chris's final shot, "Bitch u in my nightmares."
Perna sent her resignation letter to Chris.

SHOCKING!! 48yr Old Man arraigned for sexually abusing his 3 daughters
Wonders shall never end in this world , mothers should really watch out for their kids so they don't become a victim child abuse even from close family members
For allegedly raping his three daughters, a 48-year-old man, Micheal Ogbar, on Tuesday appeared before an Ikeja Chief Magistrates' Court. The Chief Magistrate, Mr Tajudeen Elias, refused to hear his plea and remanded him in kirikiri prisons.
Elias said the court had no jurisdiction over the case and therefore transferred the matter to Apapa Magistrates' Court. The accused, who lives at Oke-Ogba St., Badagry, a suburb of Lagos, is facing a two-count charge of defilement and rape.
The Prosecutor, Sgt. Rafael Donny, told the court that the offences were committed between January and May at the accused residence. Donny said that the accused raped his two daughters and defiled the third daughter.
"The accused sexually abused his 24, 20 and 10 year-old daughters," he said. The offences contravened sections 137 and 259 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

DARK TOURISM UK HERE AT THE CRIME THROUGH TIME COLLECTION, LITTLEDEAN JAIL. CHARLIE RICHARDSON ( 1934 – 2012 ) LONDON UNDERWORLD GANGLAND BOSS OF THE MUCH FEARED KRAY TWINS RIVALS & SO SAY SADISTIC SOUTH LONDON TORTURE GANG ….. THE RICHARDSONS
Posted on October 17, 2017 by CRIME THROUGH TIME COLLECTION
Charlie Richardson: Shrewd and ruthless leading figure of London's 1960s criminal scene

ABOVE : Original oil painting by Gloucestershire artist Paul Bridgman of The Richardson's East London Gangland rivals The Kray Twins here on display at Littledean Jail
BELOW IS PICTURE OF ANDY JONES FROM THE CRIME THROUGH TIME COLLECTION WITH LONDON UNDERWORLD CRIME BOSS AND LONG STANDING ACQUAINTANCE – CHARLIE RICHARDSON AT ONE OF THE PAST EVENTS TOGETHER
CHARLIE HAD KINDLY INTRODUCED ANDY TO A NUMBER OF FELLOW ASSOCIATES WHO IN TURN HAVE PERSONALLY CONTRIBUTED VARIOUS ITEMS TO THE CRIME THROUGH TIME COLLECTION NOW ON DISPLAY AT LITTLEDEAN JAIL
Charlie Richardson was among the shrewdest of the serious crime figures who populated London's post war underworld. "He was a genius, not like a professor who might know about art and paintings, but as a money maker," Frank Fraser said of him.
He was born in Camberwell, south-east London in 1934; his brother Eddie was born in 1936, the youngest sibling Alan in 1940. Charlie and Eddie were brought up in a traditional south London working-class family, and like their east London counterparts, the Kray twins, they endured a wartime childhood, enjoyed the vibrant street life of working-class London and developed as talented young boxers and prominent street fighters.
According to folklore, the Richardsons were the south London nemesis of the Krays. However, unlike the twins, Charlie and Eddie had a penchant for hard work, and made good money from the post-war scrap metal trade, plundering the remnants of abandoned wartime airfields.
With a merchant seaman father who was often missing from home, the teenage Charlie exhibited an entrepreneurial zeal. He moved into a number of areas, including wholesale chemists and mineral mining, as well as extortion and, notably, long firm fraud. This involved an apparently legitimate wholesaling business being set up, initially paying for goods on time. When their credit limit was reached, they sold up and disappeared.
Richardson surrounded himself with long firm specialists, men described to me by Eddie Richardson as "plausible rogues", and a number were sent to Milan to place orders with manufacturers for stockings on behalf of a company called Central Supplies. On arrival in London the stockings were sold by mail order, but with money and goods leaking from the business, and with the Italians pressing, Central Supplies burnt down. Richardson then set up a new company, LR Gray, based in Mitre St in the City. A number of Richardson associates were beaten for stealing from the long firms, before LR Grey also "had a fire".
Charlie Richardson had first encountered the Kray twins in Shepton Mallet military prison, where all were awaiting a dishonorable discharge from National Service. The honeypot of the West End brought them back into contact, and though the east London firm claimed to be preparing for warfare, there is little to suggest the Richardson firm took them seriously. The Richardsons could boast among their associates some of London's most feared men, including one of the "Chainsaw Robbers" Jimmy Moody, as well as George Cornell, an East Ender who had clashed with the youthful Krays, and Frank Fraser, whose affiliation to the Richardsons was described by Mickey Bloom, an associate of the Nash Brothers, as "like China getting the atom bomb."
Fraser summed up the firm's attitude to the Krays: "Using racing terms, there would be no race… The Richardsons were miles in front, brain power, everything." In their dotage Charlie and Eddie expressed contempt for the Kray firm, and although skirmishes and casualties were not unknown while the Krays, in particular Ronnie, fantasised over Chicago-style gang wars, the Richardons diversified into long firms, gaming machines, pornography, scrap metal yards, a perlite mine in South Africa, control over car parking at Heathrow, and more.
Charlie had become increasingly fascinated by South Africa, in particular the opportunities in the country's mineral industry. He became embroiled with the South African security services, who dangled the carrot of mining licences in front of him in exchange for Charlie arranging to have the telephones tapped of Amnesty International and Harold Wilson.
In 1966, in a shooting at Mr Smiths Club in Catford, an associate of the Krays was killed and five men were wounded. Eddie Richardson and Frank Fraser were arrested, Fraser for murder. The following night Ronnie Kray murdered George Cornell.
Richardson's penchant for attacking fellow fraudsters who he suspected of stealing from his long firms resulted in the infamous "torture trial" in 1967, which featured allegations of the use of pliers to remove teeth and fingernails, and the attachment of electrodes to genitals. Alleged victims of the Richardsons were granted immunity from prosecution if they "turned Queen's Evidence", and a distinct lack of physical evidence did not deter the judge, Mr Justice Lawton. Eddie was sentenced to 10 years with another five for the Mr Smith incident, and Frank Fraser received five years for affray and 10 years for some deviant dental practices at the Richardsons' Peckham scrapyard. Charlie received 25 years: "I was charged with a bit of long firm fraud and five counts of grievous bodily harm. Nobody was dead, maimed or even bloody scarred."
The sentencing policy was undoubtably savage, and whether this was due to a fear of American-style "organised crime" or was linked to Richardson's relationship with the South African Secret Service remains, over 40 years later, difficult to unpack. Files have been sunk deep into the long grass of British officialdom. Charlie Richardson was arrested on 30 July 1966; in 1980 he escaped from an open prison and remained free for just under a year. In 1984 he was finally released.
Charlie Richardson was the epitome of the tough working class self-made man who cut corners, and while violence was at the core of his success, his relationship with corrupt police officers was probably more significant. He did not play at being a gangster, and in his prime he was the real deal, shrewd and manipulative and quick to dole out violence to fellow underworld residents. But he was also well-read, articulate, extremely funny, and addicted to business. One of his last ventures was a scheme to take some control over the "true crime" genre, and to the end he loved doing deals, with film-makers, writers and a range of disparate individuals. However, along with his wife Veronica and his familyy, mining was his passion.
Nobody could swear quite like Charlie Richardson, and he reserved his most heartfelt oaths for the ex-business associates and members of the Establishment who, he insisted to his death (of complications from peritonitis), had conspired to deprive him of his liberty for 18 years.

I'm passionate, nay even evangelistic about House Concerts! Not only because this is the best way possible to experience acoustic music, (IE acoustically) secondly because its winning back the living room for live music, displacing the TV, even eclipsing the computer all be it for only one night, but in the wider scheme of things thirdly and more importantly they have become part of the the antidote to the withering creative poison that is Clear Channel's monopoly driven corporate branded live music venue world we now are stuck with.
House Concerts, semi pro run listening room venues and concert series are the best alternative to that mass induced arbitration of taste available to the growing number of professional independently minded musician that aren't lucky enough to have the big budget clout of a record label elbowing them into this world.
Particularly as the original tradition (with a small T) Folk Clubs are generally struggling to bring in new blood to keep them going, getting even more blinkered in their booking policy to new music and going more reactionary Tradition (with a large T) in the effort to keep the doors open and appeal to their sadly diminishing core customers, understandable but not conjunctive to our new and current crop of increasingly creatively vibrant, post internet, free form, social networking savvy, eclectic music makers. I'm convinced House Concerts by their very nature are the solution, everyone run by a fan and everyone with a unique atmosphere created by that fan and her/his friends and their favourite artists .
On the 7th January it is our 5th Birthday at The House Concert Hub, our community may well have achieved 2000 members by then (teetering on the brink as the new year turns), in those 5 years together we've helped organise hundreds of gigs and helped make just as many tours feasible, as well as helped bring the music we love to more people who love music. It turned out to be a particularly good new years resolution that one.
I really do feel you good folks out there who are doing so much for so little for the music we love deserve some national recognition, so hope this article in some small measure does address that need, however I'm very aware we all need to get more folks engaged in this movement to sustain the growth of every cottage industry that is "the songwriter" in the post record company dominated music business of the modern age.
I'm here to encourage and coach anyone who may be interested in this new way, that's what I perceive my main roll to be in all of this as a veteran of some 8 years hosting hoosys and 30 year promoting gigs here in Scotland.
I really do need help to reach those people though, not all but the most intrepid will visit ND, FSR or the House Concert Hub or read a Rob Ellen facebook posts, so your help is required for this.
That's the message that needs to get out, will you please help?

POPS election overshadowed most important citizen responsibility: DPA
November 14, 2016 By Sigrún Maur, TMD Political Affairs Reporter
We know you're out there. We just can't find your form.
That's the message the Department of Political Administration (DPA) sent today when it announced an extension of the deadline for Park citizens to confirm their eligibility to stand as candidates for Archon.
In an announcement released across all Park media, the DPA invited Park citizens to take their responsibilities "as seriously as we do:"
"The department wishes to remind all adult Park citizens that, by law, they must confirm their eligibility to stand as candidates for Archon. We know you take this responsibility as seriously as we do and for this reason we are extending the deadline to complete your confirmation of eligibility. The new deadline will be 11:59 p.m. on November 30."
According to the DPA, only forty-five per cent of Park citizens have submitted their eligibility forms. The department doesn't see this as neglect or protest, however. Rather, it places the blame on the distraction of last week's POPS election.
In an interview on TMD Radio this morning, DPA spokesAnimal Antoinette Fourmi said she believed the POPS election was the "biggest distraction The Park has ever seen."
"Between the record number of candidates and the non-stop coverage of them, I don't know how Park citizens could have been thinking of anything else," she said.
But now, it's time to focus and do your duty, Fourmi said, as she gently reminded Park citizens that failure to do so could result in a charge of "Cease to Care," an offence under The Park's Participation Act that involves the deliberate withholding of one's name as a candidate for the position of Archon.
"We certainly don't like to take this last step, but we've been forced to do so in the past, and we will do so again, if necessary," she said.

Less than three weeks left to confirm your eligibility for Archon selection: DPA
October 13, 2015 By Sigrún Maur, TMD Political Affairs Reporter
Do your duty: Confirm your eligibility for Archon selection by the end of October
The Department of Political Administration (DPA) has issued a reminder to all Park citizens: you have until the end of October to confirm your eligibility to stand as a candidate for Archon.
"The department wishes to remind all adult Park citizens that, by law, they must confirm their eligibility to stand as candidates for Archon and they must do so by the end of October," says the reminder.
According to the rules of zoocracy, illness constitutes the only exception to this rule. Animals who are ill and who believe they would be unable to fulfil their duties as Archon due to their illness are required to advise the department of their circumstances by submitting a Form 12.
"Since sortition is the method by which we select Archons, we depend on the full cooperation of adult citizens," DPA spokesAnimal Antoinette Fourmi said in a radio interview this morning.
And lest you consider withholding your name for any reason, Fourmi reminded listeners that last year, one citizen did just that and found himself charged and convicted of "Cease to Care."
"Because all of this was established at the time of zoocracy as an obligation of citizenship, we take it very seriously when Animals refuse to participate," she said.
