Lavinia and Boughetto are back!
This episode begins with an in depth discussion about the situation in Nigeria involving the kidnapping of nearly 300 girls.  Did Boko Haram pull this off alone?  The U.S. is involved but how much?  Western Imperialism, government corruption, and the socio-economic divide — are they all equally responsible for the kidnappings as well as the terrible conditions many Nigerians face?
Next, Solange Knowles is kickin’ ass and takin’ names.  Did Bey’s little sister have a mental break, drunken rage, or did Jay Z have that tiger pounce coming? Followed by NFL Draft Shade.  They had Johny Football sweatin’ bullets.  Which was harder to watch, Michael Sam kissing his boyfriend or that extended ugly cry when he found out the Rams wanted him? And Finally, Are Mimi and Nikko of LHH Atlanta the new Bobby and Whitney?  They’re acting out of order.
