Yes. I plan changing host as slyrox recommended. I started blogging for the fun of it initially. Didn't know the blog was gonna grow this much. That's why I started taking it serious. Thanks for the advice

I go with Omowunmi though. She looks like the dress was made for her. Didn't like the underwear Toke used. Looks like granny pants. Sorry dear

Thanks a lot to you all for your help especially Slyrox and Yimz. My site is up partially now. Thanks again

Toke Makinwa wore this sheer red lace floor-length dress by House of Nwocha to the just concluded Fab Awards 2012. She accessorized her look with silver drop earrings, a black clutch and luxurious wavy locks. While the ex-beauty queen Omowunmi Akinnifesi wore same to the Future Awards 2011. She rocked hers with gold Jimmy Choo heels and Chanel clutch. I Love the modern braided chignon and delicate red drop earrings.

But the question lingers, who rocked it better?

Wait a minute, is there supposed to be reserved seats in the House of God? Whatever went on between Princess and the Usher, I totally detest the idea of seating arrangements. That's why I love Jehovah's witnesses. Anyone can sit anywhere, whether ure old or young. SMH!

Kate Middleton is pregnant! No, seriously, for real this time. While speculation of Prince William’s royal heir kicked into high gear last week, St. James’s Palace this morning confirmed the worst-kept secret in England, and announced that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first baby.

“Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby,” the palace said in a statement this morning.
No doubt intending to keep this highly public news as private as possible, there was no word on whether Kate and Wills are expecting a boy or girl, or a possible due date for the little royal, though as an announcement has been made, she’s clearly past her first trimester.
The palace did announce that Kate was “in the very early stages” of her pregnancy, however, and today was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in London due to suffering hyperemesis gravidarum–in other words, acute morning sickness.
She’s expected to remain in the hospital for just a few days and will rest at home after. “The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news,” the palace said.

This one na royal belle o. Anyway, Congrats to them!

It’s Genevieve Magazine‘s second wedding issue and they got super gorgeous cover girls, Studio 53 Extra’s Eku Edewor and ex Tinsel star, Damilola Adegbite glam up the pages until you drool.

Eku and Dami are single (for now), but like every woman, they have their hearts set on their wedding day with that special guy (*wink* *wink*). Interestingly, they are both starring in an upcoming romantic comedy, ‘Flower Girl’ due to be released on Val’s Day.

In this issue, they got them talking on love, relationship, their promising TV careers and men. “Love should be a little less complicated, especially as life is so complicated”, Eku argues. “Man was not made to be alone,” says Dami with an alluring smile and adds that it’s possible to be strongly attracted to someone at first sight and always tell if you could be involved with that person. It’s straight from the heart from these dream brides…

Are you an introvert? Are you shy and looking to find your place in the labor market? You’re in luck. The good news is that there are careers out there that don’t necessarily require tons of chit-chat or after-hour networking. They are geared towards people like you. Let’s check them out, shall we?

#1 – Creative Designing

It is also common for people who are shy to be very creative and have a vivid imagination. This is why you want to consider jobs that involve creating and designing

Such jobs can range from copywriting in the advertising industry, to website design, to composing music, to writing articles. If you become really known and respected as a creative person in a field, you can have a highly rewarding career.

Consider a career as a graphic designer, where you might be able to eventually work from home – or even work on a freelance basis. This could mean more time for you to tap into your creative mind without the noise and commotion often found in an office.

By mixing art with technology, graphic designers can communicate ideas to consumers by developing the layout and design for brochures, websites, advertisements, or other marketing visuals.

#2  - Network Administrator

If you consider yourself a techie and think you’d prefer spending time alone with computer networks versus people, a career as a network administrator could be right up your alley.

As a network administrator, you might be responsible for organizing, installing, and supporting a company’s computer systems. In order to keep the systems up-to-date, you could set up network hardware and software, gather information to measure the network’s performance, and make the necessary upgrades and repairs.

#3 – Dental Technician

Dental technicians often work behind-the-scenes, assisting dentists and hygienists, working with a model of a patient’s mouth rather than the patient themselves. So I guess this is a suitable job for the timid ones.

#4 – Accountant

Timid individuals frequently work better with numbers than with other people. If you are good at math, finances or numeric analysis, a career in the financial sector is definitely something to take into account.

Particular jobs you want to look at are accountant, financial analyst and financial auditor.
Accountants, who ensure that financial information is correct, typically spend more time with numbers than clients, making this career track a nice match for people who enjoy data as opposed to office gossip.

If you perform well in your job, you can advance towards more challenging financial jobs and you can thrive in this field.

#5 – Massage Therapist

Do you enjoy the quiet and relaxed atmosphere of a spa? Consider pursuing a career as a massage therapist, where you might be able to spend your working hours surrounded by that calming environment.

You might talk with your clients to find out more about their symptoms, or where they carry tension, and then manipulate muscles to help them relax. You could also advise your clients on how to best stretch, relax, or even improve their posture.

How is it ideal for quiet people? For one thing, you’ll typically interact with one person at a time unlike the job of a politician. Using your knowledge of human physiology combined with massage techniques, you’ll get to support your clients’ well-being and healing. Of course, you’ll talk to your clients, too, but typically in a calm environment. Sure beats stumping at political rallies!

*******
These are some good careers for shy people. Feel free to explore them deeper and see which one rings a bell for you. If none of these fields resonates with you, it may be a signed that deep down you are much more of a socially oriented person.

If this is the case, your shyness is something you want to overcome and then choose a much more social career. It is fitting your career field with your core personality that generates professional fulfillment the most.
Goodluck!

Doing the social media rounds yesterday is the alarming news that, allegedly, somewhere in the world mama and papa Jameson have named their newborn daughter #Hashtag. Yes, they really named their daughter #Hashtag.

The mother tweeted, “Hashtag Jameson was born at 10 o’clock last nite. She weighs 8 pounds and I love her so much!!!!”

But what were they thinking? Being named after a pound symbol most commonly used these days on Twitter is bad enough.

Honestly, it’s really not much weirder than the Egyptian man Jamal Ibrahim, who named his baby Facebook in 2011.

So is internet language the new trend? If this catches on, imagine the poor teachers in future classrooms? “Hashtag, go and sit next to Pinterest. Cyberspace, bring me your homework now and Spam, really, what did I tell you about putting pens up your nose?”

I can see only one positive here.
At least little Hashtag won’t have to think too hard about what symbol to get as a tattoo when she’s 18. Lol. Just kidding!

Barely two weeks after embarking on an indefinite hunger strike to protest non-payment of his terminal benefit, Mr. Olubiyi Odunaro, a 53-year-old former employee of Hallmark Bank Plc., yesterday, suspended his hunger strike.

Odunaro, had commenced the indefinite hunger strike on November 12 this year in protest against the non-payment of his terminal benefit as well as that of over 14,000 of his colleagues who were also affected.

Odunaro suspended the hunger strike after several minutes of appeals from the state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye, who was represented by his Senior Special Assistant on Justice and Law Reform, Mr. Lanre Akinsola and the President, Association of ex-staff of Non-Consolidated Banks, Mr. Magnus Maduka at a garden on Mobolaji Bank-Anthony Way, a place he had turned abode since commencement of the strike.

Hallmark Bank was one of the banks that failed to meet the Central Bank of Nigeria’s, CBN, recapitalisation requirement in 2005 and had to fold up, laying off its staff in the process.

According to Odunaro, “On this strike, I am not acting alone. It is a struggle for me and others who are affected. Since I have received the assurance from my association that I should suspend it; and that the state governor, is now aware of the issue, I will do so today.”

The Ex-Banker who was taken to the General Hospital, with the Lagos State Ambulance Service, LASAMBUS, added, “I am suspending it and I would give the state government the benefit of the doubt. I know the state government has been up and doing on various issues concerning its residents”

Ipaye said: “This is a very pathetic situation and immediately the Governor, Babatunde Fashola, read about it in the media, he mandated the office of the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice and the office of the Senior Special Assistance on Justice and Law Reform to set up an inter-ministerial committee that would act on behalf of the state government on the issue.

“The most important thing to the state government is the health of Odunaro. So the first thing we would do is to provide medical service to him. This is because it is an issue concerning a man who has been on hunger strike for the past 15 days. We believe that there is an urgent need for medical attention, and that was why we have brought medical personnel to covey him to the General Hospital.”

The Attorney-General emphasised that it “is when one is alive that he or she would be able to fight for his rights”, stressing that, “We do not want any causality. It is not in the interest of the state government for any of its residence to die.”

He said that the state Government through the Directorate of Citizens Right and other agencies would be providing free legal service for him and others who were affected.

According to him, “The aim of the government is to ensure that justice is achieved and they get their entitlement as fast as possible. We will be working with the lawyers of the affected Ex-Bankers. We are not concerned about who get the result, what we are more concerned about is the result.”

“The government is for the people and that was why we have pleaded with him that he should give the state government the opportunity to wade in. And immediately, we will discuss with all relevant authorities to ensure that Odunaro and others get their entitlement.”

Speaking earlier, Maduka said: “We have persuaded him to press a pause on the hunger strike for now. We have been on the issue for over five years and since the Lagos State Government has decided to wade in, we believe in the government.

“We have not had positive response from any authority since 2005, but with the response from the Lagos State Government, it shows that the state government is proactive. And we want to commend them for their response and Biyi would be suspending his indefinite hunger strike.”

What do you think about this turn of events?

Popular Cool FM 96.9 radio presenter/On-Air-Personality Oladotun Ojuolape Kayode, a.k.a D.O 2d T.U.N was recently suspended for slapping a colleague.

The energetic and eccentric OAP is said to have handed out the slap on an intern for ‘being rude.’

According to the NET, inside sources say the management, after listening to both parties and witnesses, were forced to hand out the suspension to the OAP. Dotun was apparently aggravated by the intern, Tobi, and reacted by slapping her.

Some sources inside the organisation however claim that Tobi deserved it: ‘I’m sorry Dotun got suspended but we at the office are all happy he slapped her’, another OAP working at the station stated anonymously.

‘She was spoilt and rude and was causing too much wahala at the station, she had it coming!’.

We’re told Tobi joined the station and was assigned to work with another OAP, Mannie on the ‘Good Morning Nigeria Show’ as one of his three co-hosts, but after a while, she was reportedly transferred to the production room because she wasn’t getting on well with the other presenters. ‘They had to take her off air and transfer her where she would be less of a disturbance’, sources said.

Tobi has since completed her NSYC year and left the station, while Dotun has now returned to his job.

‘It happened some months back. I have made up with her and we’ve both moved on‘, Dotun who participated in the October edition of ‘Walk against Violence’ explains.

Dotun, who has been working at Cool FM since 2004, currently anchors the ‘Midday Oasis Show’ alongside singer-presenter Temilola ‘Taymi’ Balogun. He also doubles as an MC at various shows, helping out at the weekly talent showcase Industry Nite once in a while.

The 28-year-old occasionally serves as a hypeman, working with rappers Ice Prince and Vector.

Hmmm

This news is extremely stale. It happened in 2010

It appears his account was either suspended or deleted on twitter due to his use of strong abusive words on another twitter user. This dude needs to grow up

girl king: Thank you. Can you recomend a gσσδ exfoliant and cleanser for мe? I wan to start taking care of ℳα skin but I don't know where to begin

It depends on your type of skin and skin tone. For a facial moisturiser, I'll recommend Johnson&Johnson products. I use the clean n clear morning glow with SPF 15 and it's been doing wonders for my face. No pimple, discoloration or any skin issue. That's what works for me. Or you could try olay products for face. For body moisturiser, I use Aveeno, which you could also try. It doesn't contain a single harmful ingredient(google it).
St Ives exfoliants are cool. But don't overuse it.
My advice to you is google any skin product before you buy it. For example, you want to buy St Ives Fresh skin scrub, google 'St Ives Fresh skin scrub review' and see what people think about the product. You most likely can detect if the product is nice or not.

NB: I'm dark skinned and have a slightly dry skin.

Chris Brown has apparently deleted his Twitter account after becoming involved in a bitter spat with US comedian, Jenny Johnson.

The pair clashed after Johnson - who has previously expressed her dislike of Breezy due to his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna - criticised him on the social-networking site.

Their feud started after Chris uploaded a picture of himself along with the comment: "I look old as f**k! I'm only 23…", leaving Johnson to reply: "I know! Being a worthless piece of s**t can really age a person."

Breezy then hit back: "Take them teeth out when u Sucking my d**k HOE (sic)," with Johnson retaliating: "It's 'HO' not 'HOE' you ignorant f**k."

Their argument then escalated, with Brown tweeting: "I should fart while ur giving me top."

She replied: "Your mum must be so proud of you," to which Brown responded: "Mum says hello... She told me not to shart in ur mouth, wanted me to s**t right on the retina."

Johnson joked, "YOU FLIRT!!!", before telling her followers: "Okay. I'm done. All I got from that exchange with Chris Brown is that he wants to s**t and fart on me."

The blonde went on to add: "I have zero respect for a person who seems unapologetic for the terrible crime he committed and shows no signs of changing."

Brown then wrote: "Just ask Rihanna if she mad", with Johnson then retweeting his comment and adding: "Get some help. Seriously."

The Turn Up The Music singer later deactivated his account and told his followers: "To teambreezy... Know that I'm not upset. Just felt like entertaining the ignorance. These b*tches crazy."

Rihanna then appeared to join in on Brown's feud with Johnson, tweeting: "How does one find the time? We gotta do better than this!!"

The Bajan babe later fuelled speculation that she has rekindled her romance with Chris, posting a topless snap of Breezy sprawled out in a Bart Simpson duvet cover on Twitter.
