Being Handsome Has not Helped Me...IK Ogbonna

Last Updated: 1 hour ago

IK Ogbonna had his first car in 2013 and it was a 2007 Toyota Camry ‘Muscle. The handsome actor has narrated how he was embarrassed while driving this highly prized vehicle then. The car had helped him cut expenses but there was one incident he can never forget in a hurry while driving the car.

He said “My first car was a 2007 Toyota Camry ‘Muscle.’ Back in 2013, I had a deal with a friend and got the car. I had been using taxis a lot, which causes one to spend a lot unconsciously. Having the car really cut down my expenses. I tinted the windows soon after I bought the car. I am a very careful driver so I never crashed the car; in terms of servicing, the oil and oil pump were the first things I changed. My most embarrassing moment was once when I wanted to drive through a toll gate. I hadn’t left home with any money, only my ATM card. When I got to the toll gate, I was told that there was no POS machine and I was turned back.”

He doesn’t agree that being a handsome guy has really help him that much “I would not say it has worked to my disadvantage because I believe that everything that happens to you in life is for a reason. I count everything as a learning process; things cannot be smooth all the time. Life is a story and as you tell it, there would certainly be elements of good and bad things, so I cannot really say that I have had any bad encounter as a result of my looks. There are a few trivial things that I can say happened to me for being a pretty boy. For instance, I could go to visit someone and people in the place would not be comfortable with having me around probably due to inferiority complex or insecurity issues but at the same time you just have to live your life and be yourself.”

Heroic Marine who saved about 70 people on the night of the orlando club shootout receives praises from the public.

When the terrifying blasts of rapid gunfire filled an Orlando nightclub early Sunday morning, many clubgoers panicked or froze. Amid the swirl of sensory overload, their response was overwhelmingly typical of people under threat. In an emergency situation — as any first responder can attest — a victim’s first challenge is overriding the paralysis brought on by extreme fear and confusion. Imran Yousuf, a bouncer at the Pulse nightclub, had an advantage. A Marine who had served in Afghanistan, Yousuf was able to use his training to quickly identify the impending threat and remain clear-headed as people died around him, according to the Marine Corps Times . Because of the 24-year-old’s decisive actions, he is being credited with saving dozens of lives. He told CBS News that he knew something was horribly wrong as soon as he heard the familiar crack of gunfire. It was then, he said, that his training took over. “The initial one was three or four” shots, said Yousuf, ...

Guess who is talking with Cleveland Cavaliers...Dwayne Wade!

Imagine an NBA defence trying to stop a driving Kyrie Irving and Dwayne Wade , while LeBron James is free to roam in and out of the paint. Although somewhat far-fetched, the possibility is not out of the question. Despite being offered the $20 million annually he was seeking, from the Miami Heat , Wade is chatting up the Cleveland Cavaliers . Huffington Post sports columnist Jordan Schultz reported the news. "League source: Dwayne Wade in preliminary talks with #Cavs to reunite with LeBron. Talks still early," Schultz tweeted. Wade, 34, is scheduled to meet with the Milwaukee Bucks Wednesday. There could be bad blood between the 12-time All-Star and the organization he has spent 13 seasons with. His wife, Gabrielle Union, alluded to that with a tweet last week saying: "When u waiting for a text/email/skywriting and nada... thanks for being crystal clear." The Heat was silent with Wade as it pursued free agent big-fish Kevin...
