NIgerian Studens sues Alabama State University

Godsgift Moses, Promise Owei, Thankgod Harold, Success Jumbo, Savior Samuel, and 30 more Nigerian students came to America hoping it would be the promised land. It’s only fitting that “Opportunity is here” is the motto of Alabama State University, where they got full scholarships from a Nigerian government fund for four years of education. Instead of getting opportunity, they say the school took their country’s millions and used the money to discriminate against them. In a lawsuit filed last week in federal court, 41 Nigerian nationals—many of whom are now Alabama State University alumni—allege the school overcharged them for books and meals, enrolled them in classes they never took, and more, all because they were black foreigners.

Eddie Murphy hit the red carpet in Hollywood for the premiere of Mr. Church on Tuesday night, and the actor made it a family affair. A large one. Murphy, 55, brought seven of his children to help celebrate his return to the big screen after a four-year hiatus. (For those who aren’t in the know, he has nine kids with five different mothers.) The comedian — along with 37-year-old girlfriend Paige Butcher — posed on the red carpet with (from left to right) Myles, 23; Zola, 16; Bria, 26; Shayne, 21; Bella, 14; Christian, 25; and Eric, 26. Later, they gathered for another family photo at the afterparty. Eddie Murphy brought his children to the L.A. premiere of “Imagine That” in June 2009. (Photo: Jeffrey Mayer/
