Influenced by Foreign films: Sister tells stowaway boy, Daniel's story




The street of the 13 -year old stowaway boy Daniel (Rikcy) Oikhena, Ehiegba street, off Goodwill, Off Ekenwan road, Benin City, has turned to a tourists site since last Saturday with all sort of people trooping into the street to find out what really happened.

Journalists, security agents, market women led the bulk of visitors to the street and the family house of Daniel Oikhena. The family house of Daniel at No 7 Ehiegba Street, off Goodwill, Off Ekenwan is about 500 metres away from the Benin Airport run way.  During a visit to the house, our reporter met two of Danie’s younger brothers and some family members who beg to be excused comments but the eldest sister, Tonia simply said he is a reserve, gentle and intelligent boy.

Daniel, who is a junior secondary school two student of Asoro Grammar school, Benin, was said to have woke up around 3.30am on that faithful day watching an America film that led to disagreement between him and his eldest sister.  Tonia said, “Oga Journalists, lack of perimeter fencing at the Benin Airport made Daniel gain entrance into the airport. If properly fenced, I don’t know how he can enter.
“You see, any time,you discusses with Daniel, all he do say is that, one day I will surprise you all. He loves watching America films. If you put Nigeria drama, he leaves.

“Daniel is a quite person, he has no friends. Even in his school. He likes to do things in his own way. In most cases, he does confide in his junior brothers that one day, he will fly an Airplane. That is why one of them told their mother to go the Airport to rummage around.
“The junior brothers also told their mother that, Daniel confided in them that one day he would make the family name popular. They never told us. Now he has done that in a negative way. Thank God he is alive to tell the story himself, “she said.

Is Natural Hair The New SEXY?


Gradually, young women with natural hair are beginning to catch my intimate attention—-even from far.
Though I am particularly fascinated by the intellect of women, until you start a conversation with a person it is always difficult to establish how much they can arouse you intelligently.
Over the years, women who are abreast with issues of World Politics, Cosmology, Religion, Law and the God Theory have succeeded in exerting a pull factor on me. But spotting these women from a distance without any sort of ‘conversational’ evaluation has always been impossible…
Unintentionally, it seems I have found a way by which I can fetch such women from the lot—-by just using the nature of their hair.

Jeanette Jenkins is the founder and president of the Hollywood Trainer fitness company. She is engaged to Queen Latifah.

 In September of last year, Latifah bought Jeannette a new car, a Range Rover she had delivered to surprise her at a restaurant where they were having lunch.

The two are said to be ‘planning an intimate ceremony with close family and friends.’ Latifah has said she would like to adopt a child, particular an American baby, and this may be the first step toward showing her commitment to Jeannette and to providing a stable home life. (entertainment news)

Big Brother Africa :Vimbai and Confidence in nude photo

Confidence and the Ghanaian House mate.

vimbai stripped naked with the teeth
BIG Brother Africa’s Vimbai Mutinhiri has been stripped to her bare breasts by a fellow housemate using just her TEETH.
The racy incident on Thursday came after Big Brother tasked the housemates to “help each other out of their clothes” using only their gnashers.
Vimbai, whose model background would have been a great help during the exposure, was first up and Nigeria’s Vina went about the task with energetic alacrity.
Vina first peeled off the 24-year-old Zimbabwean’s skirt which covered her jeans. The jeans shortly followed – exposing her bikini. Vina, cheered on by the other housemates gathered for the task, then ripped off Vimbai’s T-Shirt to reveal her bra.
The Nigerian then worked her magic, unhooking Vimbai’s bra and exposing her assets to the other housemates.

VIRGIN DANCE: ZULU CULTURE

                          Zulu king tells ritual dancing virgins to cover up 'because Europeans
                          keep taking pictures of their naked buttocks.


Teenage girls in an African tribe have been ordered to cover up during ritual dances because 'perverted' Europeans keep taking pictures of their bare bottoms.  Young virgins have been performing the Zulu Royal Reed Dance for centuries wearing nothing but beads and short fringed skirts.

But now King Goodwill Zwelithini has told the girls to put on sarongs or traditional undergarments called umuntsha to cover their buttocks. He said the event was 'not for looking at maidens' bottoms.'

The king added: 'There are times when maidens have to sing and dance and we end up seeing certain private body parts that we're not supposed to see.' Locals are said to be fed up of 'lascivious' male tourists who 'act like paparazzi' and 'zoom in on bare flesh with their high-tech cameras.'

Prison Break Star, Wentworth Miller Comes Out As Gay

Wentworth Miller

Wentworth Earl Miller III (born June 2, 1972) is a British-born American actor, model, screenwriter and producer. He rose to stardom following his role as Michaels Scofield ...
The Prison Break star decided it was time to publicly reveal his sexuality after being invited to attend a film festival in Russia.
"Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes," Wentworth, 41, says in a letter to Maria Averbakh, director of the St. Petersburg International Film Festival. "However, as a gay man, I must decline.
"I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government," he continued in the letter, posted on GLAAD's website. "The situation is in no way acceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly."

TOURISM:Pompidou Centre- A radical with enduring appeal.



Competition time
In 1969, Richard Rogers, a young British architect, was persuaded to enter a competition to design the Pompidou Centre by his friends Renzo Piano and Ted Happold.
Heady heights
Rogers and Piano won the competition, and their radical design has become an icon of Paris.
Right on?
As a state monument to the right-wing French president, Georges Pompidou, the project was at first unappealing to the left-leaning Rogers and his colleagues.
One in a million
In its first year, the Pompidou Centre entertained six million visitors - more than the Eiffel Tower.
Colour block
The complex is situated in Beaubourg in Paris' 4th arrondissement. Its colourful exterior stands out against the traditional Haussman-era buildings.
New radicals
The design duo developed an avant-garde, 'inside-out' façade, with escalators, pipes, lifts and air-conditioning on the exterior of the building.
Critical condition
When it opened in 1977, critics were not impressed with the building's flashily modern, hi-tech design. (Photo: Arcaid)
Make-over
Today, the building looks much as it did when it opened, thanks to a two-year revamp in 2000 - which also enlarged the museum, performance spaces and restaurant.
Complex character
The Pompidou Centre is multi-disciplinary complex, housing performance, library and cinema as well as exhibition spaces
Museum piece
The building houses the largest museum for modern art in Europe with over 50,000 works by 5,000 artists in its vaults.

KUDOS, goes to all FEDGOMITES- 'PRO UNITATE' remain United.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COLLEGE, MAIDUGURI OLD STUDENT ASSOCIATION

One Lamborghini, a decade of faces

The end is nigh for the Lamborghini Gallardo. The bestial, all-wheel-drive, 10-cylinder machine that helped create the archetype of the livable, everyday supercar, will soon be replaced after a decade-long run. The “entry-level” Lamborghini, which launched as a coupe and was accompanied by a Spyder counterpart, was known by many guises, whether as a totem of success in rap videos or as a police squad car. At the Frankfurt motor show, the Gallardo’s successor – rumoured to be called Cabrera – is expected to bow, signalling a new chapter for the macchinisti of Sant’Agata, Italy.
To maintain interest a fundamentally unchanged car over its 10-year lifespan, Lamborghini kept the faithful on their toes by offering special editions, which expanded the car’s portfolios of power, performance and visual presence (not to mention giving Lamborghini license to extract a few extra thousand euros from aficionados).
Here, then, on the eve of the Gallardo’s demise, is a visual history of the limited-edition bulls that have come to occupy valuable garage space over the past 10 years. (All photos: Lamborghini)

The Book Of Ali: LOVE KO... LOFF NI!!!

The Book Of Ali: LOVE KO... LOFF NI!!!
I wanna take a little time and review a song that brings love under scrutiny and gives anyone who wants to  be sincere, some perspective on the phenomenon called love. Love as we now know it is a foreign import. The way love is practised in Africa has changed greatly. Thanks to the different influences that have "helped" to beat it out or into shape depending on what you define love to be. Even the Oyibos that we burrowed all the love nwantiti from, confess they equally are at a loss as to what love truly is.

Just so you don't bother yourself with trying to see my point, I will explain.

Did you know that some people in the Western world, have ended a marriage of 2 months or less because their partners snored? And they could not take it anymore. Doesn't that make you want to ask if they did not spend nights together before they got married? And even if they did not, isn't the marriage a reason to tolerate the midnight orchestra? And is a snore not too small a reason to pack it in? Do they know what Nigerians tolerate? Snore? Pulliiiiiiiiiizzzzzzzzz! .....

Wedding Boasts 80 Bridesmaids. That’s a Whole Lot of Taffeta


Katie Dalby, 26, and Norman Gooch, 37 on their wedding day, August 10

 

Some brides skip having bridesmaids because they are so concerned about hurting their loved ones' feelings. Katie Dalby, 26, chose another route for her wedding to firefighter Norman Gooch on Saturday: She brought along 80 attendants. When Dalby, who owns Katie's Boogie Shoes Dance Academy in Harwich, England, told her students about her engagement over a year ago, she says they were superexcited and some were begging to be included in the wedding. "It just couldn't have been fair to choose two or three of them," Dalby told the Daily Mail. "So the only solution was to invite 74 of them-I didn't want to exclude anyone." She also asked her best friend, three sisters-in-law, a niece, and a cousin. "It made my day more special." —Sarah B. Weir, Shine Senior Writer

kevin Hart and others, react to Kendrick Lamar calling himself the king of NewYork



Kendrick offended quite a few people when he called out some of the biggest names in rap on Big Sean’s new song ‘Control’ — but at least one person has a sense of humor about it! Funnyman Kevin responded to Kendrick’s provocative lyrics with a video of his own.
 In his verse in Big Sean's new single 'Control', Lamar not all dissed fellow rappers like Drake, Wale, J. Cole and A$AP Rocky, he also declared himself the king of New York. Kendrick spits:
I'm in a destruction mode if the gold exists.
I'm important like the pope, I'm a muslim on pork
I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York
King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both
The juggernaut's all in your jugular, you take me for jokes
Live in the basement, church pews and funeral faces
Cartier bracelets for my women friends I'm in Vegas
Who the fuck y'all thought it's supposed to be?
If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me
I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable. Fuck y'all clubs, fuck y'all pictures
Your Instagram can gobble these nuts
