Politics / Ben Murray Bruce Wants Us All To #buynaijatogrowthenaira by thepinkcrystal: 11:01pm On Feb 25, 2016
Ben Murray Bruce Wants Us All To #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira But He Printed His Book In The USA. Twitter Nigeria Reacts!


Follow @that1960chick



Outspoken Senator Ben Bruce Murray has been a huge advocate of the “Buy Nigerian” movement and has made it his priority to speak about buying Nigerian made products on every platform especially Twitter where he regularly uses the hashtag #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira

One would think that the Senator who is the voice of #BuyNaijaToGrowTheNaira would want to grow the Nigerian print industry by publishing his new book “Common Sense Revolution” in his fatherland.

But rather he chose to have the book printed in the US of A!

I guess the “Buy Nigerian” agenda doesn’t apply to his book?

Twitter Nigeria has wasted no time in calling out Bruce. With many labeling him a hypocrite.

I support Ben Bruce's buy naija campaign but if it's true he published his book in yankee it's just absolutely hillarious.

— Olufemi Fakolujo (@fakson) February 24, 2016

In defence of Mr Ben Bruce, the "common sense" book was printed in the US and assembled in Nigeria. https:///pGk94OKPWi

— BukunmiPreacher (@bukunmipreacher) February 24, 2016

So Ben Bruce with all his advocacy for #MadeInNigeria products, printed his "Common Sense" book in USA . . Leadership by what?

— Omo Jesu (@tosinadeda) February 24, 2016

Imagine, so Ben Bruce did not even print his book, 'A Commonsense Revolution' here in Nigeria? #BuyNaija, Noise – making venture!

— Dr. A. TuruMbe (@NDrAgwoTurumbe) February 23, 2016

If you’re wondering what the Senator had to say about all the hoopla, he retweeted this

Fashion / Finger Waves The Retro Hairstyle Making A Come Back by thepinkcrystal: 11:42pm On Dec 22, 2015
Hey Lovelies

You must have noticed the the 1930’s hairstyle known as the Finger waves made a huge come back this year. The finger waves hairstyle has been rearing its head for years, remember beyonce’s sweet dream video that came out 2009, she rocked the finger waves hairstyle in gold and Rihanna rocked the finger waves hairstyle in her pour it up video that came out in 2013. This are just little examples that show that the finger waves might be a 1930’s Hollywood hairstyle but it is far from dying out. This year alone we had top celebrities like Nene leakes, Demi Lovato and our own Tonto Dike rocking the look.


Tonto Dikeh

The Finger waves hairstyle has most definitely stayed popular through the decades and has been immortalized into a wig which is what Tonto dikeh was seen spotting this year. This hairstyle is definitely not for naturalistas, but you can braid your hair into cornrows and spot the wig instead. The hairstyle is most definitely better on those who have short hair but ladies with long hair can also have fun with it or you can simply fix in a weave and style it up.

Here are inspiring ways to rock the finger waves hairstyle;

Side waves


Wig


Full Wave


Natural hair

The Finger waves hairstyle is created using gel and its a basic, simple and classy hairstyle that suits anyone.
Celebrities / Kanye West Praises His Wife, Kim For Her Kimoji App Idea by thepinkcrystal: 11:23pm On Dec 22, 2015

Fashion / Beauty Advice: Benefits And Usage Of Eye Creams by thepinkcrystal: 9:48pm On Oct 21, 2015
BEAUTY OCTOBER 21, 2015 Beauty Advice: Benefits and Usage of Eye Creams


Growing up, I always thought eye creams were only for people who were older. I was rather shocked when I turned 19 and my sister’s best friend started telling me to invest in eye creams. At first, I thought it was an insult, but after much explanation, she made me realize that how you look in your 50’s is very dependent on how you take care of yourself in your 20’s. The image above shows some eye creams recommended for every age group. In my skin care article, I had mentioned the stage at which an eye creams should be applied during your skin care routine. You do not need to buy the exact brands pictured above – just get the budget-friendly ones that have the same benefits.

Application:
When applying eye cream, it’s always advisable to place the cream on the outer corners of the eye and never close to the eye lid. If placed too close to the eye, it could cause irritation. It may even lead to more dark circles and puffiness because the eye cream would not be working effectively.

Steps:
1. Use your fingers or a cotton swab to apply the cream half an inch below the eyes
2. Work the cream from the inner corner outwards using a tapping technique rather than rubbing or dragging the skin
3. Repeat this tapping motion a couple times, massaging the cream into the skin


Correct and Incorrect Application

Benefits:
1. Reduction of darkness under the eye
2. Reduction of circles and puffiness around the eye
Spot the Difference:
Like I said earlier, both the high-end brands and regular brands work the same. Jae, a participant in the 6 week eye cream challenge on the Total Beauty website in her 20’s, compared the Hylexin (High-end; $95 value) brand on her right eye and the Retinol Correction Eye Cream (drugstore; $20 value) on the left eye (Fig. 2). According to her, they achieved the same result, although it took a little bit longer for the drugstore brand to show results. So regardless of the brand, you will still get the desired results.

Note: This was a 6-week challenge, so you can follow this link to see more reviews from other people who took the challenge.


Jae’s eye cream before and after comparison

Hope this article has encouraged you to take better care of your skin while you’re still in your 20’s. But this is not for ladies only! It’s also important for men to use eye creams and there are a lot of brands that carry creams for men. Next week, I’ll list my eye cream recommendations for both men and women, so look out for that!

Love,

Politics / Port Harcourt Airport Has Just Been Voted The WORST Airport In The Entire World by thepinkcrystal: 9:44pm On Oct 20, 2015
Port Harcourt Airport Has Just Been Voted The WORST Airport In The Entire World & Here Is Why OCTOBER 20, 2015 in News



This picture right here is the reason why The Port Harcourt International Airport has been voted the worst in the world!

According to Sleeping In Airports, Port Harcourt International Airport is the worst airport in the world! The basis for grading the best & worst airports is overall airport experience as determined by voters in a 2015 Airport Survey. The PH airport has also been described by the travellers surveyed as the most corrupt airport.

One traveller said,

This has to be the most corrupt airport in the world. ‘Bring money’ as they say in PH. It’s a standing joke.
According to the article,

The terminal’s unpleasant and unhelpful staff help to earn it this trifecta of atrocious awards. With virtually no seating, broken air-conditioning and a tent for an Arrivals Hall, it was a struggle for many voters to pass the minimum required amount of time here. The good news is that some areas of the terminal have been recently renovated, meaning you can expect actual walls, floors and windows.

After the jump see the other 9 airports that make up the worst airports list.


2. Jeddah King Abdulaziz International Airport, Saudi Arabia (JED)
3. Kathmandu Tribhuvan International Airport, Nepal (KTM)
4. Tashkent International Airport, Uzbekistan (TAS)
5. Caracas Simón Bolívar International Airport, Venezuela
6. Port au Prince Toussaint Louverture International Airport, Haiti (PAP)
7. Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport, Afghanistan (KBL)
8. Ho Chi Minh City Tân S?n Nh?t International Airport, Vietnam (SGN)
9. Islamabad Benazir Bhutto International Airport, Pakistan (ISB)
10. Paris Beauvais-Tille International Airport outside Paris, France (BVA)
DO YOU AGREE THAT THE PORT HARCOURT AIRPORT IS THE WORST IN THE WORLD?

Fashion / Zaron Cosmetics Lippies For The Fall And Harmattan Season by thepinkcrystal: 3:49pm On Oct 06, 2015
Zaron Cosmetics lippies for the Fall and Harmattan Season



It will interest you to know that Zaron Cosmetics new collection of lipsticks and lipstains which are Matte in nature can pass for the fall and harmattan. We already brought you a review of that which you can read HERE.

In that review, we did tell you that the Zaron Cosmetics Matte listicks and lipstains are not like the regular matte lippies that you know. They glide on well and for some reason don’t make our lips sore. However, we do advise that you scrub and moisturize your lips before you get any of the choices you make on your lips.

Our beauty columnist gave us a list of lipsticks for the fall and the harmattan season. If you missed that, read HERE. But we left out these 4 which are from the new collection of Zaron Cosmetics and they are;

Fashion / Rihanna, Kim K, EJ Johnson…whose Fashion Flopped The Most At Riri’s Block Party? by thepinkcrystal: 4:59pm On Sep 11, 2015
Rihanna, Kim K, EJ Johnson…Whose Fashion Flopped The Most At Riri’s Block Party?
SEPTEMBER 11, 2015 in Celebrity,Fashion


Last night Rihanna threw a secret block party to kick off the start of New York Fashion Week party on Thursday.

Apart from the pop princess some of those in attendance were Kim Kardashian, Kanye West, Pharell Williams, Timbaland, Young Thug, The Weekend, Travis Scott, Joe Jonas, EJ Johnson, Gigi Hadid, Wiz Khalifa and 100 of Rihanna’s carefully selected fans.

Now let’s talk fashion, Kim who has been dubbed the queen of pregnancy fashion turned up at the event with hubby Kanye, who has literally turned her into his living & breathing doll. Kimmie showed up and showed out in a very interesting gold Givenchy outfit which was split to the thigh and layered with frills. But what really caught our attention was the knee high, toeless sock boots, which is a sneak peek into her husband’s new Yeezy collection.





On the other hand Rihanna who is nowhere near being pregnant looked like she was rocking what Kim should have been wearing a loose velvet maxi dress by Ellery which she teamed with black flared pants & a choker.


On the other hand Magic Johnson’s son EJ looked like he might be in the process of transitioning. Is it me or is he getting more “female”? The reality star served smokey eyes and a see through jumpsuit teamed with ankle boots.


EJ serving a beat face…werk it girl!!!

SEPTEMBER 10, 2015 in Celebrity



Phyno is one of the hottest rappers around now he’s certainly not lacking in female attention. So it comes as no surprise that fans want to know if he’s single or not.

While appearing on the latest edition of MTV Base Real Talk he addressed the question about his single status, telling host Ehiz,

I’’m single to my fans and I am engaged to my girl…I’m in a relationship like…I’m just trying to’,

Realizing he has said too much he switched to Igbo language and jokingly describing Ehiz as ugly! Watch the video after the jump


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMMELVoY5yg
So for all of you wondering what that means is that Phyno is not single…lol!

In another WTF moment on the show Phyno revealed that he is open to working with viral sensation Vic O, who has been trending recently thanks to fans mocking his musical efforts. The artiste whose music talents leave a lot to be desired last month dropped his Drake & meek Mill diss record after being encouraged by fans, the record got 10,000 downloads with an hour of it’s release.

The most famous 2 year old in the world North West is stunting like her daddy – Kanye!

In this case of “B stole my look”, little Nori who was seen leaving her parents New York apartment with her mom, Kim Kardashian, was dressed in the same look her father has been spotted rocking on many occasions.

Kim paraded her in front of the cameras and made sure the waiting photogs got some good pics of little Nori. Sometimes I wonder if Kim & Kanye ever get tired of putting this cute little girl on show…

The Conversation Chidinma & Her Pastor Had About Her Not Doing Gospel Music SEPTEMBER 7, 2015 in Celebrity,Music News


ChidinmaEkile_that1960chick
You might not know but Chidinma started singing in the church. Recently the 24 year old who has been active in the music industry for about 5 years, spoke about artistes who started in church and have now transitioned into secular music.
She had this to say about going from church to the world of glitz, glam & the bright lights,
I won’t condemn anyone that moved from gospel into secular. You don’t know the kind of relationship the person has with God. Before I started, I spoke to my pastor. We had a chat and I told him I am not doing gospel. My song is for everyone, not just the church folks. Everyone knew what I was doing from the start. My pastor said if that is what I want; it’s fine as long as ‘you and God are on the same page.

Back in 2013 Chidinma had to shut down reports that her church, Foursquare Gospel Church was having problems with her because of the way she had to dress as a pop star, which apparently conflicted with the strict dressing of members and workers of the church.

Celebrities / Emeka Ike Vs Chris Okotie Round 3: by thepinkcrystal: 9:56pm On Sep 06, 2015
Emeka Ike vs Chris Okotie Round 3: Actor Calls Household of God Pastor The Antichrist!
SEPTEMBER 6, 2015 in Celebrity,Nollywood



Na wa o!

The war of words between Nollywood actor Emeka Ike, his estranged wife Suzanne Ike and Pastor Chris Okotie is now in it’s 3rd Round.

It started of with Emeka Ike blaming the Household of God Head Pastor for coming between him & his wife who is divorcing him after 12 years of marriage and the pastor fired back saying it was total rubbish and he won’t dignify the actor with a response.

Catch up on Part 1 & Part 2.

Today in an interview with Cable NG, the actor has some more choice words for the man of God,


I think his (Okotie’s) comment is a clear indication that he lacked the evidence to fault my allegation. Is Pastor Okotie well-known and popular as I am? How can he say he will not dignify me with a response? His comment actually confirmed my suspicion that my wife is being manipulated either through blackmail or spiritual enchantment to say she was opting out of her marriage after 12 years.

For instance, at the last proceeding on the divorce suit, my wife said it in the open court that she was willing to abandon her four children and go out of the marriage. Which woman will say she was abandoning her four children if not under a spell? It is clear to me that Okotie is not a pastor but an anti-christ.

Ike has also accused Okotie of hiring a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN) lawyer to help his wife divorce him, he also says Okotie gave his wife N500, 000 for her mother’s burial and bought her a blackberry Porshe phone.

In addition to all this he also told Cable NG that Okotie calls his wife and other single women out in church every Sunday and gives them gifts.

Fashion / 30days Beauty Challenge: Holy Grails by thepinkcrystal: 3:43pm On Sep 06, 2015
30Days Beauty challenge: Holy Grails




Holy Grails are those products you can’t imagine living life without. Sometimes, they are quite expensive but you go out of your way to purchase them. In fashion for instance, everyone is heading over to the MAJU shopping party to get themselves some items from their collections, not minding the price, just because they are amazing. Also, we recently published the amazing sales recorded by Bvlgari with its Le Gemme collection. For some, that is probably their Holy Grail. So, let’s find out what the beauty professionals have as their holy grails.

Oyinda:


MAC’S HANDWRITTEN

I love my contour and finding the darkest contour powder for my face was difficult until I got this eyeshadow. It is pigmented and has a nice undertone that compliments darker skin tones. Also, it is a great transition colour for your eyes.

COASTAL SCENTS LARGE ANGLED BRUSH

This brush has multiple uses from contour to blush to highlight, it makes the application of powder product go one easily. The shape makes contouring easier.

MAC’S GOLD DEPOSIT

I LOVE my highlight it has to be seen from space and the best most pigmented highlighter I‘ve ever used is this. The best thing about this product is that a little goes a long way, so I‘m always glowing.

MAC’S FIX PLUS

Before I apply any products to my brushes I spray this first, it makes them look more pigmented and the application a lot seamlessly so I cannot live without it plus its very hydrating to the skin.

MAC‘S FORMAT BLUSH

This is my all day/everyday blush, it just goes with every look and warms up my skin just the way I love it.

REAL TECHNIQUE EXPERT FACE BRUSH

I use this brush to apply all my liquid or cream products, from foundation to concealer to cream contours, this ‘brush blends it all out to give a natural finish and it is super easy to use.

ELF COMPLEXION BRUSH

My ultimate powder brush, this is my on the go brush, as long as I‘m wearing makeup it goes with me, I cannot imagine my makeup kit without it and I don’t have to add more powder to the brush to remove any shine plus its fluffy and extremely soft.

KIKO ULTRA TECH MASCARA

I cannot live without mascara, it just adds that extra edge needed to seal a look together, with or without lashes. But Kiko mascaras are affordable and amazing, they are my HOLY GRAIL you can never go wrong with them.

RIMMEL BROW PENCIL

I have sparse eyebrows therefore pencils work best for me and I personally prefer them. But this pencil has a great texture for light and easy application at an affordable price.

URBAN DECAY EYESHADOW PRIMER

I have used many eyeshadow primers but this is by far my favorite, it last all day long and never creases.

LANCÔME TEINT IDOLE ULTRA 24H FOUNDATION

The perfect foundation for my skin, applies seamlessly and gives a matte flawless finish.

Tosin:Tosin Kayode of Ts. Touch

Kajal, MacRubyWoo and Classic Foundation.

What makes up your Holy Grail?

He then went on to add that if he was offered a political appointment, he would probably take it and hope he can make a change. But running for office is nowhere in his future

Politics / This Meme Sums Up Our Feelings About Godswill Akpabio Going Abroad For Treatment by thepinkcrystal: 2:45pm On Sep 03, 2015
This Meme Sums Up Our Feelings About Godswill Akpabio Going Abroad For Treatment…
SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 in News



Excuse the grammar…but you get the message…I found this meme on Instagram today.

On Monday Senate Minority Leader, Godswill Akpabio was involved in a car accident in Abuja and on Tuesday he was flown out on a private jet to United Kingdom for medical treatment.

In May just before leaving the Governor’s office, Akpabio who is the immediate past Governor of Akwa Ibom State, commissioned a N30 billion hospital in Akwa Ibom. When opening the hospital he said the hospital which he said was equipped with “640 city scanners, digital mammography, endoscopy surgery, highly sophisticated intensive care units and medical gas plants with fully automated laboratories” was a “world-class specialist center with ultra-modern medical facilities that would attract medical tourism to state”.


His words during the commissioning of the medical masterpiece,

We lose billions of dollars every year to medical trips abroad. We have also lost a lot of people, not because we don’t have the expertise in the country. We needed a hospital that can run at international standard. We also decided to have a hospital that would answer to the needs of Nigerians in terms of advanced health management. And that was why we built the Akwa Ibom Specialist Hospital.

He also said rather than rich Nigerians going abroad for treatment it would be easier to visit the Uyo hospital,

Sometimes, people die in the air while being transported abroad for treatment. We wanted to shorten travel time for patients going abroad and at the same time get revenue for the state from health tourism

And…

We have about 380 suites and so many operating wards. We are starting with 150 expatriates all at once. We are in agreement with a Swiss hospital group and an Arab healthcare group in partnership with Cardio Care in Lagos

Like we said earlier on Tuesday he was flown to the UK not to this $30bn specialist hospital he was praising back in May…his legacy to his state…the irony is not lost on us.

This. Is. Nigeria.

Stop The Rumours…Di’ja Has No Plans Of Leaving Mavin Records…EVER!
SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 in Celebrity Staff Writer



Since Mavin Records artist Di’ja started hyping her DijaNation movement on social media, it sparked speculation among some of her fans that perhaps the Mavin princess has plans to leave the label which made her a household name…to form a label with the same name.

But before you all start running with the gossip mill…you should know that Di’Ja is not going anywhere..for now!

In an interview with NET, the Awww singer states categorically that Mavin is a lifetime choice for her!

Read what she said after the jump


Right now we are even focused on Dija Nation because Dija Nation is part of Mavin and Mavin is part of Dija Nation. Mavin is a lifetime choice for me. Like I always say everything is in stages, there’ll be new Mavins that’ll come in along the line. so for me, right now I’m building my name and building the Mavin name too because it’s Mavin that got me noticed so for me It’s a lifetime choice that I’ve made because I feel like I’m home and I’m not ready to run from home yet

So Di’Ja is still #TeamMavin people!

But really, with Don Jazzy by your side, why would you want to go anywhere else?

Celebrities / Emeka Ike Is Accusing Chris Okotie Of Keeping His Estranged Wife From Him… by thepinkcrystal: 9:45am On Sep 03, 2015
Emeka Ike Is Accusing Chris Okotie Of Keeping His Estranged Wife From Him…Could Their Divorce Getting Any Messier?
SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 in Celebrity Divorce,Nollywood


For a few months now there has been a public back & forth between actor Emeka Ike & his wife Suzanne Ike which has played out in the press.

The couple have 4 gorgeous kids together and have been married for 15 years, but back in July she filed for divorce citing emotional & physical abuse at the hands of her actor husband.

In her court testimony she said,

It was when my husband beat me mercilessly I believed that people truly saw stars whenever they were unconscious. It was my brother who took me to the hospital where I spent two months. There was also a day I was feeding our last child with tea, my husband, out of anger took the tea and poured it on my head. Each time we fight, he calls me a witch saying whenever he intends to start a project and he informs me it eventually fails. He also said if he hadn’t married me, I would have become a prostitute. Since I left, he doesn’t allow me to speak with our first two children, asking me to come home if I really want to see them. Even when I was in with him, he leaves home for months on the pretext of different appointments. I can’t face all this anymore. I need help.

After the news broke Emeka denied he was getting divorced saying, “I am a Christian, we don’t divorce”

He begged his wife to come back to him while claiming he never hurt her. But Suzanne insists she doesn’t want to be married to him anymore…the divorce case is going ahead.

In the latest twist in their messy divorce case he is blaming Household of God Founder, Pastor Chris Okotie for plotting to keep his wife from him & destroy their marriage. He has released a statement blasting Okotie. The statement says,

I want people to look into this issue critically. I’ve never beaten this woman in my life. When she ran out of home, I called my pastor and they took us for counselling. For one week, I was begging her every day; I would go home alone and she would go home alone as well.
At a point, pastor asked us to write five things we like and dislike about each other. The pastor said that maybe we could work it out. I wrote mine, she wrote hers and she never said there that I used to beat her. I still have that document with me. She gave me what she wrote and I gave her what I wrote. If I used to beat her, she could not have left it out from that then. Any man that beats a woman is a coward. I know that someone somewhere must have done something to her. How can I beat a woman I adore so much? I love my family and this is very unfortunate. Her children have been begging her to come home, and she has refused.
I am pretty sure my wife is acting confused; she is acting as if she is under a spell, which is psychological and then she is acting under blackmail.
There was a time I accused her of bringing men to my house. I mean, which woman will wake her husband up in the middle of the night and said to him, share your property I want to get my share now from what you have? Tell me, which woman will do that if not acting under a spell?
There was a time I travelled and she closed down my school and sent all the students away. So, there is a lot to it, other than the allegation of battery against me and I want the whole world to know. My name is precious to me and I don’t want anything to drag it in the mud.
Pastor Chris Okotie just absolved my wife into his church without making any effort to get in touch with me. If as a pastor, your church member is having issue with her husband, and you failed to do anything to resolve it, what kind of pastor are you? When I called him, he refused to pick my call. He also failed to react to a text message I sent to him. Is that a man of God? Even, if you have a police case, they will make effort to hear from you before taking a position, not to talk of the church.
When we went to court, I told my wife that I’m interested in amicable settlement of the matter, and that I still want her back. But she refused. Even, if you don’t want me, what of your children, I asked her and she still would not listen to me. I want the whole world to know because there is a lot of misinformation out there. The lawyer which Okotie hired for my wife is also frustrating every attempt I make to resolve the matter peacefully

Hmmmm…Tales by moonlight kinda ish…

DO YOU THINK EMEKA IKE IS TELLING THE TRUTH? SHOULD PASTOR OKOTIE HAVE GOTTEN IN TOUCH WITH HIM WHEN HIS WIFE JOINED HIS CHURCH?

Celebrities / Miley Cyrus Wants Us To Know Nicki Minaj Isn’t A Kind Person…celebrity Beef by thepinkcrystal: 10:16am On Aug 28, 2015
Miley Cyrus Wants Us To Know Nicki Minaj Isn’t A Kind Person…Throws Serious Shade At Her Over MTV VMA Snub Rant
AUGUST 28, 2015 in Celebrity,Celebrity Beef



Miley Cyrus who is set to host the MTV VMA awards on Monday night may have just kicked off round 2 of the Twitter war of words between Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift.

Late last month Nicki got all in her feelings and played the “racism/my yansh is too big card” when her Anaconda video, wasn’t nominated for Video of The Year. Back then Minaj wrote in a Twitter rant

If I was a different ‘kind’ of artist, ‘Anaconda’ would be nominated for best choreo and vid of the year as well. When the ‘other’ girls drop a video that breaks records and impacts culture they get that nomination. If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year.


She was obviously referring to Taylor Swift who quickly clapped back at Nicki. The two then traded words before fake e-hugging it out on Twitter and settling their feud. [READ HERE]

That was over a month ago, now Miley “I need attention, so I’ll just be nekkid all the time” Cyrus has added her own to the fight. In a recent interview with New York Times, when asked about Minaj’s statements, she had this to say

People forget that the choices that they make and how they treat people in life affect you in a really big way. If you do things with an open heart and you come at things with love, you would be heard and I would respect your statement. But I don’t respect your statement because of the anger that came with it. If you want to make it about race, there’s a way you could do that. But don’t make it just about yourself. Say: ‘This is the reason why I think it’s important to be nominated. There’s girls everywhere with this body type.

But she wasn’t done…she then said Minaj’s remarks were “very Nicki Minaj,” which she described as “not too kind” and “not very polite.”

I think there’s a way you speak to people with openness and love. You don’t have to start this pop star against pop star war. It became Nicki Minaj and Taylor in a fight, so now the story isn’t even on what you wanted it to be about. Now you’ve just given E! News ‘Catfight! Taylor and Nicki Go at It.’ I know you can make it seem like, ‘Oh I just don’t understand because I’m a white pop star.’ I know the statistics. I know what’s going on in the world

So basically what Cyrus wants us to know that a kind person…Will Nicki clap back?

Sad Story: Peter & Lola Okoye’s Nanny Dies After 5 Year Battle With Cervical Cancer. What Women Need To Know About Deadly Disease
AUGUST 27, 2015 in Celebrity,Health



Cancer is no respecter of persons & these days it seems like there is a cancer for every part of the body. One of the most deadliest forms of cancer is cervical, which affects only women.

This morning Peter Okoye‘s wife Lola Omotayo took to Instagram to express her grief over the loss of her nanny, Esther Ngobor who had lost her 5 year battle to cervical cancer.

According to a heartbroken Lola, Ester had worked with the Okoye’s for 7 years and started taking care of Cameron when he was just 3 months old. She described Ester as not just a nanny but a sister and a friend.

Read what she wrote after the jump


Today we lost a very precious soul. Esther Ngobor. Esther started working with us almost 7years ago. She was a wonderful nanny to our son from when he was 3 months old. She was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer 5 years ago and she fought tirelessly to stay alive. When she was diagnosed, she was told she had a few months to live but she fought hard.Words cannot describe how incredible she was as an employee, sister and friend. My children loved her, we all loved her. Her smile and laughter would light up a room in a second. She was clever,witty and dedicated. She was most importantly God fearing and honest. Her biggest fear was dying. Oh Esther, I am so sorry. We tried everything within our power to give her the quality of life she deserved. We tried every possible treatment available but God knows best and we cannot question Him. I want to thank all my friends and family who touched her life no matter how small. Your prayers, love and donations will not be forgotten. God bless you. Esther was in so much pain but she never gave up. This is a very sad day for us. We will miss you so much Esther. May your gentle Soul Rest in perfect Peace. Ladies please get your pap smear test done once a year. If you have never gotten one done, please get one done now. Cancer knows no gender, race, social class or nothing.@peterpsquare #cancersucks#esther#RIP#tears#stupidcancer #

Cervical cancer is the second biggest cancer that affects women after breast cancer.

Ladies if you are sexually active you NEED to get a smear/pap test done. Women between the ages of 21 – 29 should typically get tested every 2 years. If you are 30 & older and have had three normal Pap Tests in a row, you can talk to your doctor and space out the tests to one every three years.

Iyanya Shares Coupled Up Pic With Ex Freda Edewor & His Fans Really Want Yvonne Nelson To Know About It
AUGUST 26, 2015 in Celebrity,Celebrity Couples Staff Writer



Iyanya shared an intimate picture of him and Freda Francis Edewor on Instagram some minutes ago, the two who used to date some time back have stirred up talk that they have gotten back together cos they are looking very boo’d up in the black & white photo, which he shared without a caption.

The 28 year old singer& the 30 yr old socialite look really cute together, but their followers don’t want to know about that, they have been tagging his other ex – Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson in the comments section of the pic, alerting her to Iyanya’s new coupled up status especially because she has talked about their break up a lot of times in the media.

Why tag his ex in the picture? Nigerians have no chill sha.

Anyway, if they are actually dating, we wish them good luck and hope it works out as Iyanya has quite a number of controversies in the past following his relationship life.
