Khloe Kardashian & French Montana 'on a break' because he was too needy

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 08:22 AM PDT

According to Us Weekly, Khloe Kardashian and French Montana are on a break after dating for about eight months because he was 'dependent' on the reality star. No wonder I haven't seen a pic of them together in a while
"They are on a break," one source tells Us. "The relationship got too heavy and Khloe needed to take a step back."
Another insider says the Moroccan-born musician, 29, was too "needy" for the reality star, 30. "It grated on her that he became so dependent on her," the pal tells Us.
It didn't help, of course, that her family never really warmed to her beau. Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner "did not approve and told Khloe all the time," the first insider says. And she wasn't the only one with reservations; a friend previously told Us that sister Kim Kardashian-West and stepdad Bruce Jenner were "very skeptical" of the rapper and worried he was using her for fame.

Lordwin Gate Real Estate introduces First Solar Powered Estate in Nigeria

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 07:57 AM PDT



Lordwin Gate Real Estate has a vision for the property sector. The idea is to meet the needs of both potential property owners and existing property owners. Lordwin Gate, a young but very dynamic real estate firm with strong footprints in the high end segments of the Lagos and Abuja property markets, is well grounded in property investment, development, leasing, renting and advisory services with unwavering commitment to develop the sector using Joint Venture initiative, JV. Continue..



 

Uche Ajaere, managing director of the company, explained that the JV arrangement is a win-win situation for both the investor and the landowner because of the backlog of un-housed people. "We have brought awareness to people to make them know that a N10 million property, for instance, with a very good construction on it will increase the value of the property. We encourage people who have property but don't have anything to do with it or money to develop it to come up with it so that we can help them develop the property. We don't rely only on building and renting property, but also advise those who have property on what to do with what they have. We really encourage people, communities and government to get involved in joint ventures because it is very rewarding," he said. 

Apart from its Green Wood estate behind Chevron, off Lekki-Epe expressway, Lagos, which is the first massive solar powered estate in Nigeria, Ajaere added that the company would soon build a low cost housing estate that will be affordable for Nigerians. "Our mission is to help individuals who have landed property in choice location manage or build their properties in a profitable manner. "We are also in this business to correct some of the flaws and mistakes that have been made in the property market for a long time. We are working hard every day to bring sanity into the business," he noted.

Lagos Govt to prosecute cases of stigmatization against treated Ebola patients

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 04:49 AM PDT

Lagos State Government has said it will prosecute any person, group or organization that stigmatizes a patient who has been treated of Ebola and certified free from the virus

Commissioner for Health, Dr Jide Idris, said at a press conference yesterday, that the state Ministry of Justice has been notified to pick up any case of stigmatization, adding that stigmatization can make some persons believed to have contracted the disease not to come forward for treatment.
"Stigmatization may further make contacts and suspects to go underground. This may bring about the reversal of the gains we have already made; because such contacts and suspects may not come out and if they don't come out, they jeopardize the life of those they come in contact with, including their families. We want to emphasize that the Ministry of Justice will take up any case of stigmatization. Anybody, either a discharged patient or a contact being followed up, who feels any form of stigmatization, should petition the Ministry of Justice and the Attorney-General and we will take it up from there." he said.

Federal Government set to ban 'Ponmo'?

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 04:35 AM PDT

Looks like it. According to a Vanguard report, the Federal Government is looking at banning the sale and consumption of Ponmo. Find the report below...
This indication emerged Tuesday when the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Akinwunmi Adesina called for competent regulations that would check the consumption and sale of the product. If this is achieved, he noted that livestock farmers would stand good chances of making high dollar return if the hides and skins (Ponmo) are tanned into leather.
The minister who was represented at the occasion by the Director, Animal Production and Husbandry in the Ministry, Dr. Ademola Raji, said,
"I also commend NIAS for its advocacy and public enlightenment programs on Radio and Television that promote value addition in Livestock, as against sale and consumption of primary products alone, particularly with the issue of curtailing the widespread consumption of hides and skins as Kpomo which ought to be tanned into leather for a very high dollar return to the farmer and Tanneries. I expect that competent regulations acceptable by all stakeholders will be developed so as to give credibility that our set standards for food safety are being implemented which will boost value addition."

Diana Ross forces son to get a prenup to protect her $500m fortune

Posted: 10 Sep 2014 03:35 AM PDT

Legendary singer Diana Ross is worth over $500m and she'll do anything to protect it. Her youngest son, Evan Ross, 26, married Ashley Simpson, 29, on Aug. 30th and according to reports, Evan had been planning to marry Ashley without a pre-nup...that's until his mother heard about his plans..

From Star Magazine

According to insiders, the legendary singer had her lawyers draw up a prenuptial agreement that was more than 300 pages long in order to protect her estimated $500 million net worth. "If Ashlee didn't sign that document, the wedding was never going to happen," says a source. "She's far from poor, but her money pales in comparison to what Evan will inherit one day." 
While the actor didn't want a prenup, Diana, 70, who's been married twice before, refused to take a chance.
