Linda vs Wizzy: My thoughts on the celeb fight of last week


I remember when I actually came across the fight between Linda Ikeji, Nigeria's top gbogbo bigz girls millionaire (billionaire sef) blogger and Top singer, also a millionaire in his own right, Wizkid (actually Wiz-baba....the guy don get two children na..Lol...am kidding o..actually the two children part is true), so when I came across it, honestly I was like WHATTT!!! I mean I did not even find it funny...for real...I mean yes it gist and it got Twitter abuzz and people were talking...but I think for me, the whole mother, family thingy just rubbed me the wrong way.

Political Rant: We might forget, but We won’t forgive

For us in Nigeria, I think the thought that mostly crosses our minds has to be the question "will it ever get better” I mean we have been through the worst possible situations known and you know the most terrible part is that it’s all man-made, as in humans like us are the ones actually causing the calamity that we have been befallen as a nation.

Greediness, Corruption of the most-possible-highest-order, incomparable and inestimable selfishness, 'chop-national-cake' mentality, I could go on and on for real...but we all already know what befalls us as a nation so there is not point hammering on it now is there?
Like they say, we know the problem, tell us the solution, honestly for Nigeria, the solution is pretty obvious, KILL CORRUPTION, not tape it, not clean it, not pack it up, not condemn it, as in absolutely KILL IT.

Blac Chyna - Kardashian: Mother of all Love Triangles?

Image: courtesy DailyMail UK

So this week...no scratch that...this year has been sooo iniresting..ain't it? Lol, now before I start, let me say that I am absolutely not judging anyone, I believe everyone has a right to love, in whatever way, form or manner, it is a decision that everyone has a right to make.

So now back to the gist of the moment, Blac Chyna is engaged to Rob Kardashian, the only male child of the popular reality family.

Let me see if I can break down the triangle to a more simplified format (image above clarifies also)

Let’s start at the beginning — 2008, to be exact. This is when Kanye West started dating Amber Rose, The relationship lasted until 2010. Amber Rose started dating rapper Wiz Khalifa in 2011. The pair had a son, Sebastian, in 2013, married later in the year, but filed for divorce in 2014.

Meanwhile, Kanye had a baby with Kim Kardashian in mid-2013, then proposed to her later that year, and the two were wed in Florence in May 2014.
Also during this timeline, model Blac Chyna gave birth to a son, King Cairo, with rapper Tyga in October 2012. The two got engaged a month after their son was born, but then broke things off in summer 2014.

It gets pretty interesting...read it all after the cut...

How my administration will tackle Boko Haram - GMB


In an opinion article published on New York Times yesterday April 14th, President-elect Mohammed Buhari spoke on how his administration will tackle the terror group, Boko Haram. Read below...
When Boko Haram attacked a school in the town of Chibok, in northeastern Nigeria, kidnapping more than 200 girls, on the night of April 14, 2014, the people of my country were aghast. Across the world, millions of people joined them in asking: How was it possible for this terrorist group to act with such impunity? It took nearly two weeks before the government even commented on the crime. This lack of reaction was symptomatic of why the administration of President Jonathan was swept aside last month – the first time an incumbent president has been successfully voted out of office in the history of our nation.For too long they ruled, not governed, and in doing so had become so focused on their own self-interest and embroiled in corruption that the duty to react to the anguish suffered by their citizens had become alien to them. My administration, which will take office on May 29, will act differently – indeed it is the very reason we have been elected. This must begin with honesty as to whether the Chibok girls can be rescued.
