Meet The 110 Year -Old Veteran Who Dies Weeks After Meeting With President Obama

The oldest known living veteran in the US, Emma 'Big Mama' Didlake, passed away on Sunday Aug 16th at the age of 110, just a few weeks after meeting President Obama at the White House. "It was a month ago today that we went to the White House. I think she felt she had accomplished everything and could take her rest.” Didlake's granddaughter Marilyn Horne said. Last month, President Obama hosted Didlake, an African American World War II veteran, in the Oval Office during her honor flight trip to Washington, D.C. "Emma Didlake served her country with distinction and honor, a true trailblazer for generations of Americans who have sacrificed so much for their country," President Obama said Monday. "I was humbled and grateful to welcome Emma to the White House last month, and Michelle and I send our deepest condolences to Emma’s family, friends, and everyone she inspired over her long and quintessentially American life." One of 15 children, Didlake was born in Boligee, Alabama in 1905 and later moved to Lynch, Kentucky with her family. She married in 1922 and had five children. In 1943, she took a barrier-breaking step –- joining the Army, at a time most women stayed at home, and defying widespread racism and segregation. Didlake traveled around the world and was decorated for her service. Her decorations include the Women's Army Corps Service Medal, American Campaign Medal, and World War II Victory Medal. After the war, she joined the NAACP and later marched alongside Martin Luther King Jr. in Detroit. In a recent newspaper interview, Didlake attributed her great health to eating fruits and vegetables and not much meat. Each evening she soaked nine golden raisins in a pint of gin and lets them sit overnight; she ate them the next afternoon. Source: San Antonio Express News

How My Daughter Seduced Me To Have Sex With Her – John Awah

“I became attracted to my daughter, when I saw her. And I told her I wanted to show her true love… Actually, she was the person that started it by always changing her cloths in front of me and this attracted me” – Says John Awah, who claimed that the multiple rounds of sex he had with his daughter was ‘consensual’ It sounds bizarre, untrue, and squeamish, but it’s the whole truth. Yes, it actually took place in Nigeria, Lagos, a city where everything seems possible. When Chinyere, 18, decided to leave her mother in Abia State and pay her father, John Awah, a visit in Lagos, she must have been longing for a tender loving care, which fathers give their children. But she surely did not bargain for what she eventually ended up with – steamy sex sessions with her father. Upon her arrival, her father was shocked to his bone marrow that his daughter who left him when she was a year old, had suddenly grown to a full girl, and he suddenly fell in love with her. Awah said: “I became attracted ...

VIDEO: Boyfriend Leaks Sex-Tape Made With UNILAG Babe

This just came in to our mailbox..  Anonymous source says: Good day 411vibes and nice blog, I want to share this video with you guys so as to make girls know or realise that things they do in their boyfriend’s room just to please them can backfire some time soon and I mean when the boy is tired of seeing the same face every time. The girl is doing a Diploma programme in University of Lagos. (Unilag). The boy happens to be a friend to my cousin and after he shared the video with his friends, they kept doing same. Tagging the girl as a slut (someone he has been with for close to a year already) can you imagine how callous some guys can be?.  Please do share this though I know it in’t right but still  I hope this make some girls who see the video change their mind about doing such stupid acts like this.
