Vaseline treats media personalities to a revitalizing spa experience

Posted: 12 Jun 2014 11:54 AM PDT

It was a day of pampering for journalists, OAPs and bloggers at the media launch of Vaseline lotions and Creams at the BNatural Spa in Ikeja last week, as Unilever Nigeria Plc, manufacturers of diverse home and personal care consumer products treated them to a revitalizing time at the spa. The media personnel were treated to either a manicure and pedicure or a body massage using the new Vaseline lotions and creams products. Continue...



Speaking at the launch, Category manager Deodorants and Skin care, Unilever Nigeria Plc, James Inglesby, stated that "Vaseline believes that truly healthy skin starts with deep moisturisation, as the skin loses moisture every minute, which can leave it dehydrated and dry. The Vaseline Total Moisture range has a non-greasy formulation that absorbs quickly into the skin, combined with Stratys-3™ – a breakthrough multi-layer moisture complex technology with pure natural extracts delivering superior moisturisation across all 3 layers of the skin for up to 24 hours."


 The Vaseline lotions and creams are a combination of vitamins, minerals and conditioning moisturisers. Vaseline Total Moisture works  as  a moisture multi-vitamin to replenish the  skin with 100% of the daily hydration and essential nutrients the  skin needs, Vaseline total moisture Cocoa Glow on the other hand is rich in pure cocoa extracts extract that penetrate deeply into the skin to sooth away roughness and dark spots, igniting the skin's natural glow.

Both Variants are available in different pack sizes in neighborhood stores and supermarkets around you.

Kanye West Serves Epic Shade to Jay Z

Posted: 12 Jun 2014 08:44 AM PDT

Kanye West is perhaps angry that Jay Z didn't attend his wedding to Kim K and is doing his most to get back at his former longtime BFF.

During his performance at last weekend's X Games, Mr West left out Jay Z's name from his lyrics on multiple songs.

First Kanye dropped Jay's name out of Cold, in the part where he says, "Might have Jay drop you from the team," in reference to his wife Kim K's second ex-husband Kris Humphries who plays for the Brooklyn Nets, once part-owned by Jay Z. Then he dropped Jay's name from Blood on the Leaves where he says "I don't give a damn if you talk to Jay."

This move has been widely interpreted as a slight by fans. Watch it after the cut...

Dear LIB men, would you rock this mankini? Lol

Posted: 12 Jun 2014 07:49 AM PDT

The Only Way Is Essex's stars, Bobby Norris (in red) and Harry Derbridge (in white) wore these mankinis or male thongs to the beach while on holiday in Marbella on Monday June 9th.

The British reality stars turned plenty of heads at the beach as they let it all hang out in their unusual choice of swimwear. And this is supposed to be sexy? Hehe. Naaaah!

The kind of guys who wear such are called sponsosexuals, this is according to Mark Simpson, the man who coined the term 'metrosexual' 20 years ago. He said unlike metrosexuals who fret over their wardrobe and complexion, sponsosexual's primary concern is his body. He's a social media & selfie-obsessed male, who thinks nothing of using and abusing products, practises and pleasures previously only the domain of women and gay men. Continue to see hotter photos of these two. I just can't...lol

Nigerian woman sentenced to 25 years in jail in Cambodia for drug trafficking

Posted: 12 Jun 2014 05:10 AM PDT

A Cambodian Municipal Court yesterday June 11th sentenced 36 year old Nigerian woman, Collin Seniola Bosede to 25 years in prison for international drug trafficking after being found with 1.5kg of methamphetamine in her bag at the Phnom Penh International Airport in August 2013. 
 
Bosede, who was travelling to Cambodia from Nigeria on August 4th made a stop at Qatar where according to her confessional statement, she met with a Canadian man named Amad who handed her a bag containing cassette players, the drug, clothes and a laptop and asked her to give it to an unidentified man in Cambodia. She was arrested as she landed at the Phnom Penh Airport.  
 
During her trial on May 27th 2014, Bosede said she did not know the bag contained any drug as what she saw was only the laptop and the clothes in the bag. As the court read the verdict yesterday, she began crying. "It was very unjust. I was not the drug trafficker. Please release me. I want to go back home," Bosede said.

Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Posted: 12 Jun 2014 09:42 AM PDT

Some of you may know the popular 'Four-Way Test' of the things we think, say or do. Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned? Some, especially those who belonged to Rotary club, were even taught to recite it in Secondary Schools during our Clubs & Associations' week.

Every year Rotary Club, through its action group, Rotarians for Family Health & AIDS Prevention live up to its four way test by offering free healthcare to different communities in Nigeria. Last year, about 100,000 people benefited from the cause. Only this year, over 150,000 people benefited. Continue...

This year they have done it again. Few weeks ago, Rotary Club, with support from Coca-Cola Africa Foundation, the CSR arm of Coca-Cola, touched the lives of many across the country by giving free test to High Blood Pressure patients; free eyeglasses; mosquito nets; drugs etc. The free healthcare happened in Lagos, Kaduna, Port Harcourt, Benue, and many more states.

Posted: 12 Jun 2014 02:14 AM PDT

A leader that listens. How nice! After much protest from students of the Lagos State University over hike in school fees, Lagos Governor, Babatunde Fashola has approved a reduction in their school fees by 34% and 60% across the different faculties and courses.

Announcing the reduction at a press conference yesterday in Alausa Ikeja, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Education, Fatai Olukoga said after much deliberations by the adhoc committee set up by the Governor to look into all the grey areas of the proposed new fees, the Governor yesterday adopted the committees recommendations and approved the reductions.
"Government agrees that with the subsidized tuition fees and appropriate moderation of incidental fees, a reduction ranging from 34% to 60% is possible across the different faculties and courses. Government has therefore approved the reductions and, in accordance with the law setting up the university, forwarded its approval to the institution's Governing Council for implementation. The council will issue details of what is now payable by students in each department" Olukoga said
Olukoga also said the reduction in fees would not affect the state government's release of research fund, scholarship, bursary provisions and promised that the government's spending on infrastructure and physical development of LASU will continue.
