Blue Ivy Carter: What’s In A Name??

jayz_and_beyonce_cuddling_tou



Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s bouncing bundle of joy isn’t even a week old, and the Internet has already bombarded her and her parents on everything involving her. To be honest, Blue Ivy Carter has been under attack since Beyoncé made the announcement that she was pregnant at the 2011 MTV VMA’s. Some of the questions I saw on social media and the blogosphere were:
“Is it a publicity stunt?”
“Is that baby bump real?”
“Will the baby look like a Camel?”
Now that Baby Blue is here, everyone has something to say about the way she came into the world. Some are upset that Jay and Bey decided to occupy an entire floor of the hospital for privacy and security reasons. They also did not allow any cell phones on the floor to make sure there were no unauthorized pictures of the baby.
Are these things that I would do for my wife and child? Not really. But I’m not Jay-Z. I do think it’s excessive, but if he felt like that’s what he wanted or needed to do, who are we to judge?
Everyone also has their own opinions as to whether or not Blue Ivy is a good name for their child, but the most important thing that people forget is that it’s THEIR CHILD! No one is coming to your house and criticizing for naming your child “Sharquavia”, “Kevionika”, “Da’Quill”, or “Lotus FlowerBomb Jenkins”…all because you want to be different.
It’s not like Blue Ivy Carter is going to have to worry about getting a job and being disqualified for employment for having a “ghetto” name. It’s not like she’ll be the victim of the lackluster public education system. It’s not like she’ll be shunned in any way because of her name. She’ll grow up a child of privilege, while most of your kids won’t.
Now before you think I’m defending Beyoncé and Jay-Z because I’m a fan, I’m here to tell you that I’m not. I have been praying that Beyoncé would take a break so that I don’t have to see her every five minutes, bombarding me with rushed, lackluster music that hasn’t moved me since 2003. When it comes to Hov, I like him, but I was disappointed with Watch The Throne.
I’m simply stating that while they are public figures, and they signed up to be critiqued, picked apart, and downright, hated on, I think that there’s too much going on in our communities that needs to be addressed to spend so much time, energy, or effort on someone’s name (or baby) who we don’t know and have never met.
But who am I to judge? My name is Tazz Daddy. SMH

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...

Mushikiwabo to UN: Enhance civilian protection

By Eugene Kwibuka Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation has urged the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to invest more energy in the prevention of conflicts for better protection of civilians living in conflict-torn areas. Rwanda’s Foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo Louise Mushikiwabo made the call during an open debate on the protection of civilians in armed conflict which the UNSC held in New York on Tuesday. “Rwanda’s core message today is that enhancing the protection of civilians in armed conflict requires action before a conflict starts. The proliferation of non-state armed groups makes civilian protection both more urgent, and harder to achieve,” she said. For better protection of civilians in armed-conflict areas, the minister emphasised the need to increase investments in professionalising the military and police forces through adequate training. “Only when the leadership of armed forces shares the international...

Saudi King urges U.N. action against religious insults

Saudi King Abdullah urged the United Nations to produce a resolution condemning insults on monotheistic religions after the anti-Islam film in the U.S. that sparked deadly protests in many Muslim countries last month. (AFP) By AFP, MINA/SAUDI ARABIA Saudi King Abdullah on Saturday demanded a U.N. resolution condemning insults on monotheistic religions after a low-budget film produced in the U.S. sparked deadly protests last month. “I demand a U.N. resolution that condemns any country or group that insults religions and prophets,” he said during a meeting at his palace with religious figures and heads of hajj delegations in the Mina valley where pilgrims were performing final rituals of hajj. “It is our duty and that of every Muslim to protect Islam and defend the prophets.” A low-budget film produced in the U.S., Innocence of Muslims, triggered a wave of deadly anti-American violence last month across the Muslim world targeting US symbols ranging ...
