Bob Marley familiy launches international marijuana (Igbo!) Brand.
Following the legalization of recreational and medicinal marijuana across various states in the United States of America, there seem to be an emergence of an industry that might not have been predicted a decade ago.
More and more companies are exploring and finding new ways to process the 'herb' and cash in on a market with an obsession for cannabis.From cookies made form marijuana, medicinal fluids from its oil extracts to mobile applications that makes for seamless purchase and delivery.
Some companies have recorded as much as 400% growth in a single year (Eden Labs).
More interesting is the fact that some are looking to brand the 'herb' and market the brand internationally just like cocacola or Luis Vitton..
And who else has the right of first refusal for a branding venture of this magnitude if not the Marley family.
The family of Jamaican-born reggae star Bob Marley launched a first-of-its-kind global cannabis brand on Tuesday. Called Marley Natural, it will hit the market in late 2015 – and is aimed at both medical and adult-recreational use (21 and over).
It is a venture of Bob Marley’s widow, Rita, who is also a reggae musician, and his children and grandchildren, in partnership with Seattle-based Privateer Holdings, a leading cannabis focused private-equity firm.

Bill Cosby Sexual Assault Charges: Fact or Hoax
Ok so its not news that popular American comedy icon Bill Cosby, has received a barrage of allegations from up to 23 different women claiming he sexually assaulted them at one point in time or the other.
Whats interesting and a tad curious is the fact that he has stayed silent since it all started. Not until Friday when he said "I know people are tired of me not saying anything, but a guy doesn't have to answer to innuendos".
A statement released by Cosby's attorney Martin Singer on Friday denied the allegations, as well.
"It is completely illogical that so many people would have said nothing, done nothing, and made no reports to law enforcement or asserted civil claims if they thought they had been assaulted over a span of so many years," Singer wrote.
Cosby has since had his shows cancelled with fewer and fewer hosts willing to have him on set.
In spite of this all, some fans are still sticking with the icon saying he is innocent until proven guilty.
So what do you guys think? Fact or Hoax?

Fashion: The Classic Fedora Hat!
Hello People!
So my very first blog is one of my very favorite topic of discuss, fashion and lifestyle!. Particularly vintage fashion. Enter the Fedora Hats.
These hats have been in use as early as 1891! (can u believe that?). Today they are a must have for every fashion savvy being. Trust our celebrities to make the most of the classic look only a fedora hat can bring.
See photos below of top celebrities rocking that fedora from Neyo to our very own Banky W and my all time favorite Mr Billionaire Boys Club himself Pharell Williams.
Oops almost forgot the 1st citizen of the most populous black nation in the world (pardon the emphasis lol) Naija's own President Goodluck Johnathan is a fedora fan.
Dare I say that the Fedora Hat is the arguably the only hat that transcends all race, gender, tribe and time!
Feel free to drop a comment.
