Dominique Strauss Khan....is a freeman!

DSK is a free man. A judge in Newyork has set Him free after the credibilty of the accuser was termed not sstrong enough...after months of speculation, trials, the man walks a free man. He has expressed thanks to family and friend... though, there have been reports that medical evidence prooves him guilty and that people were influenced by his personality.... eitherways, he is a freeman and am sure he has learnt his lessons. DSK lawyers have called the hotel maid a good actress and that she should take a career in acting....laughs.

What was Italian Vogue Thinking?

"Slave Earrings." The text accompanying the image of a model wearing the circular jewelry reads: "If the name brings to the mind the decorative traditions of the women of colour who were brought to the southern United States during the slave trade, the latest interpretation is pure freedom.”

SLAVERY and anything related to it can never make fashion sense...The supposed Fashion "Bible" as people like to call it should have known better. The cover has stirred controversy and all the wrong comments you can imagine....i wonder what they were thinking!
Vogue has apologised saying:
"We apologize for the inconvenience. It is a matter of really bad translation from Italian into English," the magazine's editor-in-chief Franca Sozzani said in a statement to press."The Italian word, which defines those kind of earrings, should instead be translated into 'ethnic style earrings'. Again, we are sorry about this mistake which we have just amended in the website."
THe article has been removed but the damage has already been done. Sometimes, we have too be careful what we are selling! Whether slave or ethnic, its not interchangeable!

KIM KHARDASHIAN'S MUM FURIOUS WITH RAY J....

Kris Jenner (Former Kris Khardashian) is furious with Ray J (Kim's Ex) for texting her on her wedding day to remind her about sex videoa (you remember? That tape that was leaked on the net). (Laughs) in say, “I wish them the best. She’s doing real good right now, that what it is.” He simply said “I wish them the best. She’s doing real good right now, that what it is.”

SO Funny...the wedding is making all manner of headlines....so much for celebrity status! people are already taking polls if the fairy tail wedding will last.....i feel for Kim...the pressure is so huge....but am sure she loves the spotlight!

LADY GAGA on the simpsons

It will be interesting to see her animated as her self.....on the Simpsons

photo: Google
"I make music, but I don't do voice-overs every day of the week, and their characters are so awesomely convincing and sincere and wild and funny, I had to remind myself constantly of the sincerity of the humor," Gaga says. "That's what I was trying to focus on, not putting on a character too much and really being as sincere as I could with the lines."

In the episode, called "Lisa Goes Gaga," Gaga comes to Springfield to cheer up Lisa through the power of speech, song and a flash mob after learning the town is "teeming with low self-esteem." She also ends up kissing Marge. "I play a little bit of a slut," Gaga quips. "The apple doesn't fall far from my artistic tree."

The gig was "one of the coolest things I've ever done," she says. "My dad's probably going to do 80 backflips when the episode comes out."

creator Matt Groening: "Since the very beginning, I've always wanted to have on the most iconic personalities of our time, and she's it."

I realize that I haven't always lived up to everyone's expectations from my loved ones to the immense love from my fans. I am sorry. Please continue to pray for me. With the help of my family and my EME big brothers, I am working on becoming a better man, a better artiste, a more responsible person with every one of my actions".

lets just leave them to deal with themselves....its not a big deal....he's a daddy! great... Awon boyz ooh bad gon! Whizzy No ni...

Do YOU KNOW THESE PEOPLE?

These are the alleged kidnappers that abducted Micheal Obi.... and a woman among?

The man don really suffer be dat....all the way from Kano? It is really sad.... giving the man all the wrong treatment, Thank God it is over!

NIGERIA.......whatever happened to that country!

Jonathan is urging Nigerians to be bear the pain! Isn't that what we've been doing for a long time now? It is not news....we just bear and bear! we don't ever seem tired...but truth is we are tiered...aren't you? me...i want better. So what is Goodluck telling us? what exactly does he mean? Anyway, like people will say He is trying....Lets give him a break okay oh! i hear.
He has promised power by 2015....we're already familiar with that but i am not sure if many people believe that....there is huge skepticism, you should see people's expression when they read headlines....people have grown tired and familiar with things. Too much talk but what ever happened to action? Many headlines are filled with "what Govt will do"...oh Pooh..lease, spare me all that formality, we want to hear what they have done.
From the one-term elongation proposal which some key drivers behind it have kept mum to the NJC drama which The AREWA CONSULTATIVE FORUM described as "KABU KABU DANCE" (Laughs) in the Judiciary. Some said Jonathan has gotten his hands dirty....okay oh...we hear, like that changes anything for the homeless man on the street. We have OBJ and IBB exchanging words...so what about it? and Goodluck says he won't pay Okonjo-Iweala in Dollars....how does that put food on anybody's table? We waist too much time in frivolous stuffs and serious not just the seat of power it is reflected in the lives of many Nigerians...how we just repeat the same stuffs over in meeting but the important things are swept under the carpet.
Sometimes, i wonder what is happening in this country, maybe i do not understand...but it is why many Nigerians will continually want out...we no fit to shout, those wey dey shout don even tire.
The last time it was reported that N308.13bn FG projects were uncompleted..... staggering and irritating! While some people keep smiling that it is okay.....the truth is, it is not okay. There are over 43 million jobless Nigerians....that alone does not make it okay! They say change begins with you but sincerely, how many people have eaten enough or have their basic need met before they will carry Nigerians on their head? People homeless, Parents battling to give their children education, clothe them and help them believe that dreams still do come true. Thank God, we have Tenacity! With people who have experienced the good things of life preaching patriotism, its understandable. We just make it look complicated....Nigerians are not complicated people, they just want results and that is what our leaders should focus on. we want proves...that things are working...they can eat as much as they can but let them work! All their speeches of goodwill in tabloids will not make the bad roads go away.....
I am trying to understand how things are done here......we just like to muddle things up, make it a big deal! All sorts of policies...like how many policies do you need to tar a road in your LG? Or how many policy do you need to help your next door neighbor? The rich will always continue to get richer while the rest will continue to run the rat race. The entertainment and Talent hunt industry thrives in Nigeria because that is the only pace you see things literally happening....when you are good...no prejudice. That is the place of Rag to Riches, the place an ordinary Nigerian can make believe..... Timi, Omawunmi, Sylvia Nduka, P-Square, Chydinmma, Inyanaya etc...all have this to say....
Many youths are beginning to look inward, you know after running around, being broke and unemployed, people start to think that white collar isn't it..... we have many issues..
1. Rising food cost
2. Pervasive poverty
3. Poor health and educational system
4. Dilapidated roads
5. One way economy
6. Infrastructural decay
7. Poor entrepreneurial developmentt initiative
8. Insecurity
9. Wrong Mindset about success
10.Low technological development and innovation

The list is endless and it goes on.....

While the rest of the world is striving to move forward, we in Nigeria are staggering with one step forward, five steps backward. People say, we are over expecting from Jonathan but wait....isn't that why he is president? That is the reason he is promising to fix power by 2015. We have to forget that the are human beings and have errors because for the most part, they have themselves to deal with, how many of them are thinking about you? That is why, in Nigeria, it is every man for himself, you are on your own and you just have to make things happen for yourself. You don't sit and wait for the government to make it happen because they are too busy doing everything else, You cannot waste time being bitter about what they did or did not because the point is, we are all selfish, you are better off saving your energy for your hustling than wondering why common sense is so scarce around here. It is your life and you are responsible! Right now, take the stats, how many Nigerians are at the airport going abroad now? how many have applied for Visas? or those through North Africa? And how many people wey see money, no go chop? so, the equation is balanced. I am just wondering what happened to that country! I have to ask because i am a Nigerian. But as they said during the campaign breathe of fresh air.... by 2015, we will know if things have actually changed!

FASHION STATEMENT OR WHAT? Sagging!

Is sagging really a fashion statement or what? I just try to understand what makes it cool? Male or female, young and old all sag.... Sagging is such a huge fashion trend and even people you'd expect to have outgrown it, champion it.
I remember in school a lecturer on sabbatical gave us his view. He schooled in the US and i reason with his version of how sagging began. He said sagging started with prison inmates....that their famous orange suit.....He said that their suit had no belt, so it felt of their waistline and they just lived with it. Some came out and continued the trend. He said so of some big Hip Hop Stars. A search on the internet concurs with it.

It sounds logical and even though it is a predominantly male fashion....female are taking over. why on earth do people think, the rest of us want to see their underpants?...... it is so huge now that i still don't get what sense it makes..

with all manner of cleavage, natural and silicon-enhanced i wonder where fashion is taking us. Fashion labels make rags for women as clothes....and it is huge.... it is like pieces of clothes wrapped around the body and when i watch fashion shows, they get big commendations....i just hope they are not telling us to wear rags... they say of cleavage that if you have it flaunt it.... oh yeah..flaunt it indeed even when your breast has experienced all manner of friction and it is tiring from stretch marks....very nice.
i just wonder where the world is headed....all manner of things.....people are going naked.... we have experienced ridiculous slits, spaghetti straps and G-strings.... God know what next...

VICTORIA......SLOW DOWN!

Victoria Beckham is having serious back ache. THe daily mail has reported that she currently unable to even hold her baby or leave the house without assistance. The 37 year old picked up a crippling slipped disc, leaving her incapacitated and struggling to perform even the most menial duties. It is reported that she has a bad back during her forth pregnancy which became aggravated during the C-Section Operation. I am tempted to think its her love for heels. Even when she was heavily pregnant...madam, will not stop wearing heel...very high heel...she amazingly works it...

She is also trying to loose baby weight and be fit for New York Fashion Week which is around the corner. She plans to show case her spring/summer 2012 collection. She has been on strict diet. Seriously, the woman is already cute....why is she pushing her self so hard? I guess its the perfection of Hollywood that is pushing her. She just had a baby and she has a great figure...I am thinking, its why her back pain is taking a huge toil on her.... She should relax! She is already made and has a brand that sell in the Fashion World. She Has 4 Children now and she is definitely aging...so, i think she should relax!

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS BOVINE?

Meet the Yvonne Bovine...he obviously does not want to die, to have escaped slaughter!

This is so funny..... Yvonne Bovine, a female cow who is said to have been on the run for weeks now. The cow who has brought fame to the small German Bavarian village. The reward is $14,000 (10,000 Euros). I am just wondering how such huge cash can be placed on a cow.....very funny. The cow is a threat to traffic and is to be shot at sight.

EPIDEMIC OR JUST HEADLINES? 6,000 pupils share Toilet in Lagos...

Remember that child that fell in the school toilet in Alapere area of Lagos? this story goes to say more.

I love Lagos no doubt but this? i am wondering how this got really big. While we wait for the National Health Bill to be signed into law we have to check a way to control this.. 6,000 students to a toilet? or i didn't read it well?

The guilty schools as i read in Punch are:
Are public school Toilets really gone this bad? Dirty and broken seats, faulty entrance doors, broken windows, dilapidated buildings etc.
1. Schools in Tolu Complex, Ajegunle
2. Oriwu Model College, Ikorodu
3.Zumuratal Islamiayath college, Ikorodu
4. Isawo Comprehensive Junior Secondary School, Ikorodu
5. Olodi Apapa Junior and Senior Sec School.
6. Unity Sec School
7.Ojora Memorial Sec school
8. State High Sch

The list is endless.... but i am wondering...how did we get to this point? in Lagos? But whatever happened to Otunba and his mobile toilet franchise? i believe it is the best way to help the situation.

With this case, i am certain, Shot puts(if you know what i mean) will not go anytime soon. i feel for these students especially girls...too bad but i don't want to believe the Govt is doing nothing! In This our Nigeria now, you have to find a way to survive and that is what schools should do.

KIM KHARDISHIAN SECRET WEDDING!

jUSTIN BIEBER'S FAME IS FADING!

LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM: a new way to enter the United States!

For those desperate or semi desperate or zero-desperate to go to America, here is something you must have already heard...or haven't you? and what is this about? it is the EB-2 Immigrant Visa. It is an employment based second preference immigrant visa category. So! if you are an entrepreneur and you can demonstrate that your business will be in the interest of the states...way to go. With millions of Nigerians applying for American Visa every year and those taking their chance with America Visa Lottery, i am sure this will further ease their desperation. The new visa will include foreign workers with advanced degrees and individuals with exceptional ability in the arts, sciences and business.
What does that mean for people who want to live the American dream? it is called Opportunity... and what about their countries? it is called brain drain. No hard feelings but people will always want to go to America. They are opening their doors to people from all over the world, while many African countries are battling with backward, stagnant movement, they are likely to suffer more brain drain. This i am certain will boost the American economy further...it has always done that. We love America, most people do and that is because they just believe they will make it there. With all her shortcomings, America remains a land of opportunities and freedom (at least for a great part).I agree there is no place like home but truth is, there is always something about America.
Strange enough, Britain is doing something similar.
Many Nigerians continue to relocate, Don Jazzy, D'banj just joined the list of successful Nigerians in that country. In case, you are interested in the EB-2 Visa, visit USCIS website(www.uscis.gov) and get filled on the details. it requires a job offer and a Department of Labour Certification.

CESC IN BARCA SHIRT...am loving this!

Mercy who is trying to move on suffered the same fate.....but am wondering...why do these woman have to all come from CANADA? Lets just wait and pretend it is a joke! strange....

EXPERIENCE POETRY IN A NEW WAY.....

This another one from a sweet young man.....BENJAMIN ATTAH,Codename: B.jay. Deep and exciting trip through his mind.

WORDS FAIL ME
I can't be awake, dead or dreaming I must be
For a speck of heaven my eyes did just see
I pinch myself twice to confirm the contrary
But still I'm convinced she's out of the ordinary
Bedazzled was my essence, common sense was quite amiss
I drew closer to her presence, "I'm so tensed," my heart admits
"Just say a word," I said quite frailly
But was I mute? No, mere words fail me.

Our paths do often cross, that fact I can't ignore
I feel too often lost, ne'er felt like that before
Dreaming daily of her made me feel a little sheepish
Infatuation or love, I never bothered to distinguish
Urged on very often by my friends, of meagre help it was
Estranged from life, but by day's end I did realize the cause
Still tried to get her attention, but haze encased me
The fault wasn't her's I'd mention, still words failed me.

"Can't be living like this." I said quite frankly
And for that phrase of sanity, I did thank me
I mustered all my guts, or what was left of it
I holstered all my doubts, but felt adrift a bit
With her I shared a greeting and talked with quite easily
Did she expect my meeting or was it serendipity
She smiled at what I said; demons, her smile could slay
Words swiveled in my head, most of which I failed to say;

"Even the hosts of Olympus, with their entire splendour, cannot dare compare
With the radiance of your beauty, oh how you render your lovely voice with flair
You've got a mind-defying frame, a simply perfect piece of artwork
Not many might feel the same, but most don't even know their life's worth
The sight of you is like rain and dew on a thirsty land
And also like pleasant news to a very weary man
You're like a rare gem that few men have ever found
And like a diadem, the priceless piece on the crown
In your beauty's effulgence, and your warm embrace
My heart does crave indulgence, and a resting place."

First, Do No Harm

Words my thoughts did become, and smile again did she
Warm my heart did become, my soul did jump in glee
Now that I've completed a feat so tasking
There's a question that does indeed beg asking;
"Did my words fail me?"


HATE?

You say you’re my lover, but your love is like winter
You touch me all over but my heart you can’t enter
Your touch leaves me so of warmth needing
And your words they just prick me till bleeding
Sour as vinegar do your lips taste
Us is now more than a mistake
I feel no strong emotion towards you
In fact now I do, but it’s not what you’re used to.

SCARS

They’re on me like the features of a landscape
How I got most I truly can’t say
The fair maiden’s dishonor but the warrior’s pride
Them we try to ignore but can’t really hide
They’re the ghosts of wounds that haunt some still
Sending down their spines shivers and chills
They carry memories we can’t help but feel but feel
And remind us that the past was and is real


THE ILLUSION OF HOPE

In the darkness only heaven’s light could pierce
In the fire with flames that burn too fierce
Grieving with pain, that words dare not explain
Bound by the tormenting Tartarian chains
The damned souls reach forth to grasp the ropes
Of their sole thought; the illusion of hope

Apparently absent is love and death
Regret is a feeling all share like breath
Crying out with the aid of agony
With a voice of chaotic harmony
Of their sorrows they sing, unknown is how long they can cope
But desperately still they cling to the illusion of hope

Worse than death is their present state
Hard to believe they chose this fate
A fate they’ll undoubtedly suffer for all eternity
That’s not a short while, I know with all certainty
They all know the thing that truly tortures them the most


Yet to it they hold fast; the illusion of hope…
