Awww thats cute!

That's the same way Calabar Festival paid Nicki Minaj $200,000 to perform last year. I was surprised Calabar had that much money to throw away when they could have invested in various local artists

Briareos: I was about to give a link to my debut short movie, but with the movies I'm seeing all over NL, is making me secondguess the decision

So when do we get to watch it?

semid4lyfe: Nice movie. . .got a question though.

Were all his dreams within a dream?

Yes, haven't you watched Inception? If you find this confusing then I wouldn't ask you to watch that.

Lol! Enjoy

And so?

Right before her appearance at the Darey ‘Love Like a Movie‘ concert held on February 17, 2013, US TV reality star Kim Kardashian had a telephone interview with Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi of The BEAT FM 99.9.

Kim K talks about how she ‘accidentally’ became a role model, why she won’t be releasing any more music, her acting role in Tyler Perry’s upcoming movie, her family and which Nigerian food she’ll be eating.

CFCfan: Yeah, I'm happy. The guys seem to be bolder than d ladies with regards to posting of pics

When you've got nothing to lose I guess one has no options
Its been proven that there're far much hotter NL ladies than guys

Nope! Not because of kissing scenes in their movie roles but the pressure of living such an exposed life. In addition to the media, all sorts of people introduced into your life as a result of fame.

thorvicksmethod: @Ijebabe, the video could not be submitted because by the time it finally uploaded on youtube, the submit button on the Afrinolly site was gone. Maybe next time.

Oh alright. I read the original story it was a very good read but I feel the director of The No Nonsense Wife didn't do justice to the story. I doubt I would have voted for it. Maybe if I didn't read the story first I would have.

An image of a brown Barbie doll has surfaced on the Internet, causing people to question whether or not it is supposed to be the next African-American Barbie. The doll is sporting blonde hair, gold chains, cleavage, and two bags that are strikingly similar to the Louis Vuitton monogram multicolor collection.

Many African-Americans find the doll’s appearance offensive, stating that it does not exude the true beauty of African-American women. The truth is, though, the doll strongly resembles imagery of African-American women that is seen in some of the most famous celebrities (e.g. Beyoncé, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, etc.).

The only difference I see between Beyoncé, for example, and the doll is that the doll’s skin color is darker than Beyoncé’s. If we want to change the imagery of the African-American woman, we have to start exalting celebrities and other prominent figures in the black community that represent the imagery that we’d like people around the world to embrace.

We all know that African-American women come in all shapes, colors, and sizes, so it doesn’t mean that the community can not embrace multiple images of beauty in the community. If you believe Beyoncé’s look is a classic image of African-American women, continue to support her and don’t become offended when people around the globe perceive African-American women to look the same way that she does.

If you believe India Arie is the perfect example of black beauty, support her as well. As a community, we’ve got to grow out of becoming offended when people of other ethnicities define our appearance and/or actions. They are simply conveying what they believe we support. If we want to change the way we are perceived by other cultures, we have to make the change within ourselves.

This is no excuse to defend prejudice and persons who believe that all black men are criminals because they see black men on the news 24/7. There is a clear indication of systemic racism that severely influences the way we’re perceived across the world; however, we must take accountability and refute these negative images by exalting positive images.

^Oh alright, I didn't think you were lying I was referring to the post by thorvicksmethod.

This crazy little thing called Life.

I thought you were gone. Don't let these guys chase you away, haha.

This concept car is inspired by F1 racing, its lines are very beautiful, very cool. It uses diagonal cross-cross design, the wheels are not hub design, so it can achieve full movement, its design inspiration from F1 racing, as well as including the Mercedes-Benz W125 series, Silberpfeil racing from the 1930s and Uhlenhaut SLR racing from the 1950s.

Perfect mix of old and new!

Ok, I'm voting for Unspoken and Hustle On A Mile. I can't keep thinking about this!

*From BN
On Valentine’s Day – 14th February 2013, Nollywood superstar Nse Ikpe-Etim married her first love, Clifford Sule.

The couple completed the Civil Ceremony (Registry) wedding, therefore they are officially married. The next day, close friends including Rita Dominic, Waje, Thelma Ojiji, Uche Jombo, Dakore Akande and Michelle Dede celebrated with the couple at the swanky Sky Lounge penthouse restaurant & bar at Eko Hotel in Lagos.

We all know Nse is a talented actress, writer and cook; so we just had to find out more about her beau. We googled Mr Sule and discovered that he’s a senior lecturer at a UK University. Beautiful and talented meets Handsome and smart!

Congrats Nse & Cliff!

We hear their traditional and white wedding will take place later on this year.

Such a lovely couple.

Work is fine.
Are you happy with the result of your thread on handsome men on NL?
