News broke last week that Kourtney Kardashian was expecting her third baby with boyfriend Scott Disick. Well, it's official. Another Kardashian baby is on the way. The reality star revealed she was pregnant to a little shocked Scott Disick on Sunday night's premiere episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. The 35-year-old mother-of-two told Scott "I'm pregnant,' but says 'It was not a plan.'

I think with a third baby on the way, they should just get married! It's meant to be...:-)

Posted: 08 Jun 2014 10:56 PM PDT

Merrybet Gold Limited, the leading sports betting company in Nigeria whose platform provides world class bookmaking services on merrybet.com, recently signed ace Actor/Comedian Mr. John Okafor (AKA MrIbu) as one of its brand ambassadors. Continue...

Speaking at the event, the Chief Communications Officer of the organization, Mr. Odiase also launched the Merrybet "Predict & Win" promo, the first of its kind and the biggest ever in the country where over N100,000,000.00 will be won.


Every Wednesday, ten (10) football games will be uploaded for the week and every registered userwould be given a free prediction.  All people have to do is signup on merrybetpredict.comand get their game on.

There are three winning categories
1. Weekly Jackpot (fixture result prediction):  Every week, a jackpot of N1, 000,000.00 will be up for grabs.  In a week where no one wins the jackpot, it is rolled over to the next week continuously, thereby increasing the total available jackpot balance.  All a user has to do is predict the result of each fixture (1, X, 2).  That is, if a football game will end in a win for the home team, a draw or a loss for the home team.  A user has to get a minimum of eight of ten games correctly (the scores don't have to be correct) to get a strike, 2 strikes equals a Jackpot. Users have to get 2 strikes in two different weeks to win jackpot.
2. Highest Point Weekly (score result prediction):  Users will be awarded different points based on correct winning prediction, correct scores prediction and correct goal difference prediction.  The customer with the highest number of points at the end of the week gets a N100,000.00, 2ndgets N50,000.00, 3rd gets N30,000.00 and customers between the 4th-103rdposition get a N1,000 airtime of their choice.
3. Leaderboard:  at the end of the  prediction year, the user with the highest points gets a whooping N15,000,000.00, 2nd gets N12,000,000.00 and the 3rd highest gets N10,000,000.00. The leaderboard starts when the 2014/2015 English premier league resumes, this would create a level playing field for all users. Other winning categories are currently active.

Mr.Odiase stated that the promo was geared at empowering Nigerians and increase awareness on the potential benefits and rewards in sports betting.  He reiterated the commitment of Merrybet to continually delivering ground breaking products and services in the world of sports betting. 

Where the confusion about new Emir came from + PDP withdraws congratulatory message

Posted: 08 Jun 2014 02:04 PM PDT

Earlier today, I and a few other news site, including AIT reported that Sanusi Ado Bayero, the eldest son of late Emir of Kano, had been named the new Emir of Kano. Well, the confusion started after this twitter handle belonging or not belonging to Sanusi Lamido Sanusi made the announcement. We all assumed it was fact and when I say we...I'm including PDP because immediately the news broke, the party released a statement congratulating the new Emir...but...you all know the facts have since changed. The real Emir is not a friend of the PDP and now the party has withdrawn its congratulatory message. Hehe. See it after the cut...


Our attention has been drawn to a unauthorized statement issued on behalf of the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP by his Special Assistant, Mr. Richard Ihediwa, congratulating the eldest son of the late Emir of Kano, Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Ado
Bayero as the new Emir of Kano.
Mr. Ihediwa relied on a false news flash on the AIT and issued a statement in that
direction without approval from the National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh. This is completely embarrassing to the National Publicity Secretary and the entire leadership of the PDP. 
We hereby dissociate with the statement earlier issued and regret the embarrassment this may have caused the entire nation, the Kano Emirate and the good people of Kano state. 
Signed  
Chief Olisa Metuh, National Publicity Secretary

Actress Tchina Arnold comes for Khloe K's man, French Montana

Posted: 08 Jun 2014 02:02 PM PDT

A few weeks ago, Khloe Kardashian's rapper boyfriend French Montana posted an unflattering photo of actress Tchina Arnold on instagram in a misguided attempt at a joke. Ms. Arnold was not amused and she has clapped back.

If you remember that foul mouthed but extremely witty & funny woman named Pamela from popular 90s comedy, Martin, then you know that's not a woman to mess with. She really handled Montana. See her reply after the cut...
