Marlon Jackson Planning a Slavery Theme Park

If I felt that his motives were not purely monetary, I might even consider it an interesting concept. Reports are that Marlon Jackson (formerly of the Jackson Five) is involved in plans to build a theme park in Badagry, Nigeria. It is suppose to be a Historical Resort Development Project. The project is side to feature a memorial museum abut slavery, a theme park with a slave ship replica, casinos, shops, a golf course and condominiums.

Okay, with all the political unrest in Nigeria, wouldn't it be better to do the "We Are The World Project" from the 1990's. What happened to that by the way? Gambling? Condo's?..

Marlon Jackson, a former member of the Jackson Five, is involved in plans to build the Badagry Historical Resort Development Project, which would feature a memorial and a museum about slavery.

The Kicker is the resort would also house memorabilia from the glory years of the Jackson Five, the classic Motown group known for hits including "ABC" and "I Want You Back".

The development group has said it hopes that the band will help attract African-American tourists keen to trace their roots back to Nigeria.

Wasn't Marlon last seen working at Safeway in Stocking department?

sigh...you know that is why I am going back to College. I feel if these brothers had some sort of education or trade (and singing is not a trade), that they would be able to not do the "WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE," thing.

Paris States "West Africa" a Great Country

See the mind is "indeed" a terrible thing to waste. She makes "Nicole Simpson" look smart. Good grief crazy woman, West Africa is not a country.

Usually I don't give any credence to stupid ignorant comments but I had to post his doozy by Paris Hilton. Maybe she got that knowledge while she communicated with her jail buddies in Los Angeles.

While vacationing with her boyfriend, Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden, in Johannesburg, South Africa, this past weekend, Paris was asked for her thoughts on South Africa. Her response?


"I LOVE Africa in general, South Africa and West Africa. They are both great countries.
