Celebrities / Re: Regina Askia Dances To Iyanya's Kukere Song (Pictures) by realpeople: 5:42am On Apr 12, 2013
Regina Askia-Williams (born Imaobong Regina Askia Usoro, Lagos, Nigeria 1967 - ) - also known as Regina Askia - is a Nigerian-born, American-based registered nurse (RN), healthcare and educational activist, television producer, writer, and public speaker, who found fame as an actress and model.

In 1988, Askia-Williams - a former Medical student who had transferred from the University of Calabar to the University of Lagos - was crowned Miss Unilag. That same year, she competed in the MBGN 1988 contest. Though she was highly tipped to win the contest by the audience and the outgoing Miss Intercontinental, Joan Maynard, she placed second. However, she became titleholder the following year when winner Bianca Onoh resigned. In 1990, Askia-Williams represented Nigeria at Miss Charm International held in Leningrad, Russia, and came second. She also made history by becoming the first Nigerian at Miss International in Japan, where she made an impact with the most outstanding traditional costume.

After gaining public recognition in Nigeria as a beauty pageant winner, Askia-Williams began a modelling career. As a model, Askia-Williams appeared in several Nigerian print and television commercials including Kessingsheen Hair Care, boutique chain Collectibles, and most famously, Visine. She also worked on several runway shows. In 2007, she modelled for the 2000-N-Six face cleansing range alongside her daughter, model Stephanie Hornecker. In 2005 she hosted a fashion show at the Nigerian Embassy in New York City to raise awareness for the plight of children's social amenities in Nigeria, and in 2006, she hosted a charity fashion show at Lehman College in the Bronx, New York, which displayed the creations of top African designers and her own label Regine Fashions.

Askia-Williams's acting break came in 1993, when she played gold-digger Tokunbo Johnson in Nigerian soap Fortunes (later Mega Fortunes) on NTA Network, a role which earned her critical acclaim and roles in Nollywood movies. She has received several awards for her performances - including one for "Best Actress in Nigeria" by Afro Hollywood London in 2000 - and has produced several television shows and films.

Askia-Williams starred in several "Nollywood" films during the 1990s and early 2000s, most of which were filmed to be released directly to video, reaching a wide audience in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa such as Tanzania and Ghana. She became one of Nigeria's biggest acting celebrities. Askia-Williams' films, and other Nollywood films are regularly broadcast by Nigerian television networks, including ITV, StarTV, and the state broadcaster TVT. Askia-Williams was compared to Elizabeth Taylor for her fame, and was paid around N300,000 for a starring role, on par with other top Nigerian actresses.

Askia-Williams also maintained an active interest in supporting medical outreach in Nigeria. In one interview, she described a project she participated in:

The project is an Afro-American project titled Renaissance Network Africa which involves three respectable African doctors on board [...] our aim is to bring back Africa's glory by paving way for the black Americans that believe Africa is their root to have good relationships with Africans in the Diaspora. This avenue will pave way for Africans and Americans of African origin to have good business relationships. It will also make it easy for investments, as this is the only way we can help rebuild the image of the Nigerian home-front.

A graduate of the University of Lagos with a degree in Biology, she recently became a registered nurse, pursuing[not in citation given] studies in the United States at the PhD level. Askia-Williams still works on promoting greater collaboration between Africa and its diaspora with her fashion shows as well as medical missions to Africa. She co-hosts an Internet broadcast discussion program, African Health Dialogues. The program covers such topics as the effectiveness of mobile medical clinics in Africa. Her written articles have also appeared online, and in the "Saturday Clinic" series in the Nigerian newspaper This Day.

Askia-Williams is married to American Rudolph 'Rudy' Williams, nephew of Ron Everette and grandson of Fess Williams; together the couple have two children - daughter Teesa Olympia and son Rudolph Junior. Askia-Williams's other daughter, model Stephanie Hornecker, is from a previous relationship. She currently lives in America with her family, and is now a registered nurse (RN) practicing in New York City.

Askia-Williams survived the attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. She escaped from the building, where she worked at the time, only three months after relocating to New York City with her family.

In 2007, Askia-Williams was among several African women given an award by the Celebrating African Motherhood Organization (CAM) at a gala event in Washington, D.C.

Romance / Re: How Many Girlfriends Can A Nigerian Guy Have (Men Replied) by realpeople: 8:46am On Sep 05, 2012
Anyone talking about having numerous girlfriends is still a baby.
There are many factors you should look at

1)Dangers of having diseases cos as many as you have, the same way she would have many as well.
2)How much do you have to maintain your relationship.

For instance,
Funny: You can limit your spending on a woman, you can even tell her that you dont have as in when you have gone out for a long time.
You can not tell all these stories to every girlfriend you have cos there are ones with different ideologies.

While attending to many girlfriends you spending more time on them leaving what you are supposed to do to make money.
Have you forgotten that you need to make calls to keep your relationship going.

Ex you have 5 girlfriends and everyday you are supposed to keep your friendship alive by calling.
When you call for 1 minute, you are poor boyfriend and they wont give you attention cos you dont command it. To step up as a big boy you have to call at least 5 minutes cos what ever you do with her, she would share it with her friends, (Like my bf calls me 5 minutes every morning) and you will have to call again at night to say G9t.

Now lets do the maths: 5 mins in the morning + 5 Mins in the night = 10 minutes daily for 1 babe
For 5 Babes: 25 mins in the morning + 25 mins in the night = 50 minutes daily for 5 babes.
50 minutes = (assuming 1 minute = 20 Naira) = 1k everyday.
Jesus! in 30 days you spend 30k on calls that will not bring money. you are insane: N30k => 15 bags of cement., that means in one yr you should have gotten 180 bags of cement = 1 bungalow.

This estimate is on calls only keeping other variables constant.

Why not make do with one.

How are you sure that Augustine Effiong is a real name? We want the picture so that we can ascertain the tribe. Telling reporters in House Language snignifies that He is from there. When something is sudden, then one can come up with his/her real language. He is not from South South. Fullstop
