NIU student shot dead

"DeKalb-A NIU student is fatally shot. It happened just after two this morning at 809 Edgebrook.  An argument at an off-campus party led to the shooting.  The victim is 22 year old Steven Agee of Park Forest.  Police arrived to find him with a gunshot wound to the chest.  Agee was taken to Kishwaukee Hospital where he later died." Steven was a Kappa.

That was what I woke up to at 9:50am this morning when I noticed NIU (Northern Illinois University)  trending on twitter...for the wrong reasons. These shootings are becoming out of hand, and no, I'm not talking about NIU only. 

On Nov. 12, I was at the Sigma house at U of I with two of my friends, and shortly after we left, I heard that a sigma had been shot (I don't know the current condition of that sigma).

My point? 

STUDENTS! We ought to be careful at house-parties as this is were most arguments escalate and lead to something dreadful. I thank God I haven't heard of any such case at my school SIUe, but I'll continue to thank God for my going out, and my coming in. 

Be cautious when you go to these house parties-- watch your surroundings, take note of the people at the party, try not to involve yourself in any argument(s). ASSUME everyone is a stranger, because while some strangers can be really, really boring, some can be dangerous, which in some cases can even be worse (e.g the belligerent guy who gets mad at you for ignoring him).

 Anyone with information regarding the shooting at NIU is asked to call DeKalb Police at (815) 748-8400 or CrimeStoppers at (815) 895-3272








May your soul rest in ultimate peace, Steven

AZONTO be what???

The new dance craze in the Ghanaian community is the "Azonto". It is a very interesting dance, yet I find it odd that I can't get myself to do it! I know most Ghanaians are very familiar with Naija's 'Yahoozee' and 'Alanta'. So why can't we get theirs?? (⌣́_⌣̀) 

You can find a lot of azonto videos on YouTube... teach me how to AZONTO! ¯\..(•͡.̮ •͡ )../¯

             

   

                                                 This little boy is good!                                                           Haha. Oh Amber!

 

My favorite azonto track:

Sarkodie - You go kill me (ghmusics.webs.com)

I love my Ghanaians

Videos Of The Week

Lately, Rihanna's videos have been about passing out information and reaching out. Check out her new music video--We Found Love which is aimed towards love and substance abuse. Kudos RiRi!

Rihanna on WhoSay

*************************************************************************

Kelly has made a very huge comeback, from her sensational Motivation hit to Down For Whatever which premiered today! She's now being compared to former Destiny's Child, Beyonce. I'm happy she's found her inner self. We wish you all the best Kelly!

*************************************************************************


Admist all the drama and gossip Beyonce is facing with her real or fake pregnancy, her newest music video Love On Top went viral with over 3million views on YouTube in 3days! It's very different from the regular Beyonce/Sasha Fierce that we are all used to, and I love her for it! More power to your elbow Bey!

Rihanna was intense, Kelly was hot, and Beyonce was spectacular. Loved all 3. What do you think?

DYNAMIC EVOLUTION

DE (Dynamic Evolution) is the 1st hip hop dance team on SIUe campus and voted BEST. They had their first performance for the 2011/2012 school year on October 12, at the Zeta's annual Gong Show. They wowed the crowd spectacularly, bringing out their newest members better referred to as the "newbies".

Practice was very strenuous on my part because I had to balance work and group projects while trying to learn the routines. Overall, everything worked out perfectly (but I almost got in trouble for not going to work...and NO, I couldn't call in sick [-_-])

 S/O to Meechie(Ebony) of DE for the video:

 Can you spot me? =]

DE will be performing at the Sigma's Rip The Runway event which will take place at SIUe's Meridian Ballroom this Wednesday, Oct.19th

2nd Generation, R-L: Chase, Rhandi, Elisa, Darren, Brittany, China (ME)

3rd Generation, R-L: Christina, Domonique, Tami

4th Generation, the "newbies"

Have a great week
