Wendy Williams comes for Oprah, calls Karrueche a gold digger

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 01:01 PM PDT

During a recent episode of her show, Wendy Williams tried something most people don't do...she came for Oprah Winfrey. Careful, Wendy! Speaking about Karrueche's interview on Oprah's Own Network, Wendy called Oprah out for going against her own promise to never do reality shows
"Oprah, what has happened to you. Now look Oprah, not for nothing. When you first got OWN, you said you weren't going to do reality TV and meanwhile, you have nothing but ratchetness. Oprah, welcome to the basement. It's nice down here, huh?"
Then Wendy Williams went on to discuss how pointless she thought Iyanla VanZant's interview with Karrueche was and ended up calling Karrueche a 'thot' and a gold digger. See that after the cut...


"We know why Karrueche was with Chris Brown. She claims she was with Chris because of his nice personality or whatever. She was with Chris because she was a THOT who was after a dollar. Are you serious? Right? I mean, this is not exactly a girl who has her own business and her own coins. That's the stupidest question to ask a girl of this nature. Like why is she with a celebrity who is wealthy…duh…for a come-up!
My thing with Karrueche, and we can't blame her, there aren't enough rooms at Harvard for everybody. There are some girls who have to date to come up. 
Karrueche, you're 26 years old and it's time you work on yourself because she's a cutie but 'cute' only last for this long. Cute girls are a dime a dozen and there are girls in the audience cuter than you

How RiellaDirect saved me

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 12:39 PM PDT

Article not written by me. It's an advertorial. Read below...
The day I had long marked in my calendar was barely 40-hours away. I had aimed for the skies but had over-shoot my landing; it can only get better.

Infinitely better. Two months ago, I had resigned from the glamorous World of corporate banking to establish my fashion house that specializes in ladies wears – Western corporate and everyday garbs, Caribbean exotics and African prints.

I had a formidable stock that would rival any store in Nigeria. And, I was as ready as possible for this new challenge.
Three months ago at my launch party, I had unveiled my first collection, 'Sexy 'n' Sassy', to a select gathering made up of family members, childhood friends, work colleagues, university chums,  and, a handful of fashion editors, bloggers and designers.
Buyers and spotters frommajor stockist were amongst the invited fashion-forward guests.
I sold out whilst mynew commissions gave me pause for thoughts: resign or not?  Sticking to a 9-5 will grow meprofessionally but not entrepreneurially. Jettisoning my high-flier job means I start at the bottom, again.
A no-brainer if I were asked repeatedly; the path of the entrepreneur won.
Tomorrow, I am to move from my production unit in Apapa to my flagship store in Lekki Phase 1. My contact-list champions were waiting to splurge.
Yet, I worry.
I needed assurances from movers but, so far, I have been unconvinced by all contacted.  I did not want the horror stories of unprofessional movers.
I was almost at my wits end when I recalled Daniella.
'Ella was a secondary school classmate who had just come back to Nigeria after a long sojourn in the Asia, Europe, US and, Australia.
At the launch, 'Ella had let on that she was back to revolutionise the world's e-commerce sphere. Due to the night's schedule, there was no proper chin-wag.

There is no time like the now to find out what 'Ella's site was all about. Her record whilst we were in the same class spoke volumes about her tenacity. And, snatches and snippets since our parting indicate that the excellence has not only blossomed but has an international endorsement to it.

A quick call to
Daniella established the facts of rielladirect.com, a redefinition of shopping experience. Pleasantries done and acquaintances asked after, 'Ella gave the royal tour.  Can Alibaba, Amazon, Ebay, FoodPanda and Taskrabbit be rolled into one? She spoke from her heart and extensively –as if she was giving a presentation- on the numerous merits of the site.
It did not feel like a sale but I was sold.   
A browse of the site exorcised all frets and angst about movers; other needs where housed on the portal.
Through rielladirect.com, my stock would be set-up -in record time- in Lekki; I could even found time to order my favourite bite from Kilimanjaro. Definitely, 'Ella's service would help with adjusted outfits during rush hours.
And rielladirect.com will display my offerings.

Tomorrow another life starts for
me but with rielladirect.com, I am the mistress of my time.

If you'll like to redefine your shopping experience,please, check out 
rielladirect.com.
NB: Answer rielladirect.com questions and stand a chance to have a memorable Easter with loved ones.

Facebook drama between a woman, her boyfriend and her friend

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 12:28 PM PDT

Lol. This is just a random Facebook drama that happened today that I stumbled upon and found interesting. So a lady named Ovedje Blessing posted a photo of herself and her longtime boyfriend named Henry Emeka on her Facebook page. Her friend named Grace Adaobi Oraneli saw the pic and had something to say about it. She apparently thinks her friend Ovedje is wasting her time with the Emeka dude who has refused to put a ring on it. Ovedje and Henry respond to Grace. Grace attacks Henry..lol.

Doyin Okupe congratulates Gen Buhari, says PDP will rise again

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 10:00 AM PDT

He shared his congratulatory message to Gen Buhari on his Facebook page. Read below...
It has pleased the Almighty God to give victory to Gen Mohammed Buhari, the Presidential candidate of the APC and the President elect.
We accept this as the Will of God and I personally congratulate the general for his success. We have ran a good race and fought a gallant battle. We are bowed but not cowed. We lost the crown but we gained a trophy.
The PDP family must not despair; If it took general Buhari 30 yrs to come back to power, it should take us much less.
For the opportunities we have had we give God All the Glory.
To millions of our supporters we say thanks
To those who are our adversaries, the battle has been fought, and it has been won & lost
The strife is over for the next 4 yrs ONLY.
We rejoice with APC & the people of Nigeria
on the progress we have jointly made in our democratic journey. For our democracy to endure it is important that the winner clearly emerges while the loser concedes with equanimity.
Certainly we will be back. We will overcome this defeat and rise again to power and glory
In a twinkle of an eye.
God bless Nigeria

Very odd win. Couple win £1million lottery twice in 2 years

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 09:56 AM PDT

A British couple have won £1million in the EuroMillions lottery for the second time in 20 months - beating odds of more than 283 billion to one. Millionaires David and Kathleen Long from Scunthorpe pictured left when they won it the first in 2013 and right in 2015

The former lorry driver said today he was 'shocked' to win again but continued buying a ticket after their first million-pound win because 'I just knew it would be my turn again some day'.

The couple, who married last year after a 12-year engagement, announced their win at their local pub in Scunthorpe where they put on a free bar for all their family and friends today.

Last time the HGV driver and his now-wife won despite throwing their ticket in the bin in 2013. He then 'had the urge to fish it out' and was shocked to discover it was worth £1million.


Mr Long said today: 'I tend to play when I know there are lots of prizes on the go.
'Last time I knew I had a good chance because there were 100 prizes of £1 million. Last Friday night I was passing the local shop and saw there were 10 £1 million prizes on EuroMillions and a nice car and thought yeah I'll give that a go.
'Got to be worth a few lines and I got five using my usual numbers.


"On Saturday morning I sat down in front of our telly and started checking the numbers. On one line I'd matched two numbers and one star to get £7.20 and thought that's all right.

'Then I checked the raffle code s- something I've learnt to do automatically since winning last time. After a few moments I very calmly called Kath in and said 'Have a look at this. It's there. Look. Read that line'.'


Mr Long said his wife checked the television and went online, adding: 'Then she went up right close to our television on the wall, put on her glasses and stared really hard at the raffle numbers. It seemed ages and then she finally said: 'You said you'd do it again and you have!' Everything has been a blur ever since.

 It's definitely taking longer to sink in this time!'  

Bookies told MailOnline today they could not find any bets on the planet that could match the 283 billion to one odds of a double lottery win.
But one said an example of a million to one gamble would be for future king Prince George winning Wimbledon while also captaining the England rugby and cricket teams.

A Camelot spokesman said: 'This is an extraordinary situation where somebody's been fortunate enough to win twice. As you can imagine, we see winners who win once who are very, very shocked. It must be even more shocking to win twice.'

South East loses out in producing Nigeria's next Senate President

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 09:46 AM PDT

According to political analysts, the South East has lost the opportunity of producing the next Senate President or the Speaker of the House of Representative in the Gen Buhari-led administration come May 29th. According to political calculations, anyone who is to occupy these positions must come from the ruling party. Since the number one and two positions have already been taken by Gen Buhari a Hausa man and Prof Osinbajo, a Yoruba man, the Ibos were favored to produce the third key official, the Senate President.

But with all the 15 senatorial seats in the South East states of Anambra, Abia, Imo, Enugu & Ebonyi won by the PDP in last week's elections, the Ibos may have lost out in producing the next Senate president. Senator Chris Ngige representing Anambra Central senatorial district who many believe was being positioned by the APC to be the next Senate President lost his bid to return to the Senate to PDP's Uche Ekwunife.

Tyga dumps Kylie Jenner after taking her virginity?

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 09:09 AM PDT

Lol. These foreign websites have no chill sometimes. Now they are claiming that 17 year old Kylie Jenner lost her virginity to 26 year old rapper Tyga and she may be carrying his child. Oh, and he's since dumped her. This report is according to HollywoodLife.com. Read below...
Tyga has put an end to his relationship with Kylie Jenner, according to a new report. The rapper apparently thought that things have moved too fast between him and his teen girlfriend, so he's decided to move on.
Tyga, 25, has called it quits with Kylie, 17, according to a new report. These two have been dating on the down-low for a while — but now sources are allegedly saying he is throwing in the towel on the relationship after finding out some shocking news!

The "Rack City" rapper has allegedly broken up with the KUWTK star because, "things got way too serious," which has scared him away, according to a new report from Life&Style. Additionally, the strain of having to hide their relationship due to their age difference allegedly created turmoil between the two.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Sources allegedly tell the magazine Kylie may be carrying Tyga's baby. "The thought of Kylie being pregnant really scared the hell out of Tyga," a source says tells the magazine. "She never saw the end coming." While Tyga has allegedly ended things willingly, Kylie is apparently "devastated about the split."

In a more recent interview, Michel'le talks about the time Dr. Dre shot at her during an argument missing her head by mere inches. Michel'le tells Vlad TV

"I had five black eyes, I was getting dragged on the floor, shot at…One night we were arguing he went and got the gun and I'd just made it through the bathroom door and he shot at me and he missed me by that much...I left the bullet in the wall for a while just so he could see it. But he never tried to shoot me anymore but the beatings…it was a lot."

I have Been Jegamycind - by Charly Boy

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 07:19 AM PDT

Article written by Charly Boy. Read below...
I must first congratulate Mr. President, Goodluck Joanatan for his maturity, magnanimity and statesmanship by being the first to congratulate General Muhammadu Buhari on his win at the polls, e no easy sha. Accepting defeat. This is a sign of a shift in the right direction. Nigerians should be proud of the freest and the fairest election ever! Elections in Africa, over time, have come to be a time of despair for contesting candidates, and for the citizenry whose energies at seeking decent leadership for their  countries have always been a worthless effort
It is also a time for the opposition to endure all that comes with an uneven political playing field such as harassment of opposition leaders and their members as well as the abuse of state machinery to further intimidate opposition supporters and retain government. For the electorate, it is again, a time when they have to be fed on a diet of lies, misconceptions and falsehood, those similar to folktales. In short, tales by moonlight.

Snce the birth of our democracy, it has never been said that incumbent administration lost presidential spot; even though we have seen a few States like Oyo where incumbents have never returned to that seat.

In the same vein, elections have always been marred with clear signs of malpractices until the 2011 polls that saw the installment of Jega as the Electoral Boss. For the first time, we had an election that was adjudged by all as free and fair, as was evident that the people's choice emerged. This year again, history has been repeated and made even better. These elections have been ruled by not a few to be free and fair; which might, for the first time in history, change the history of oppositions and power of incumbency.

I should probably say that this man Jega is a man of many firsts, besides his obvious qualities of courage and tenacity.

I have never been into Nigerian politics but when it comes to identifying and celebrating deviants (in a good way), I really do for obvious reasons: I am one myself. This time around we need to give it to this man Jega. He deserves our standing or sitting ovation. 

I wish that our youth can learn a thing or two from his administration, his willingness and ability to take in pressure, not break, stay focused and deliver on set task not minding whose ass is fucked.
I want to now see a Nigeria where our youth will rise up and take the challenge to do things right even in the face of great opposition and going outside the norm. A nation where the youth are driven by the desire to do what is right and not what is normal, bearing in mind that the annals of history have no space to feature men who repeat history, rather, men who deemed it worthwhile to go out of their way, break protocols, create new realms and standards.

Jega is a lesson in calmness, a brilliant Professor and am very proud of him. Today, the International Community is full of accolades for Nigeria because of this achievement. Everybody, including the super powers, has one thing or the other to learn from this to better their own. Now, that's unbelievable as commendable!

Say what you may about Jega, failed card readers, lateness of INEC officials to polling units, late accreditation, late night voting, announcing of election results in series as in soap operas, whatever; this man is a moving train. He knows what he's doing and Nigerians better know that.
In my opinion, and I think I speak for many, the success of the 2015 presidential  elections is a vote for Jega.

Once again, I salute your courage Attahiru Jega, history, I am sure, has a place for men like you. Once again our young democracy seems maturing as elections can be said to reflect the will of the people. I can't judge if that 'will' however, is the best alternative to our young democracy but we sure have joined the rest of some other African countries like South Africa, Benin Republic, Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal and Ghana, who have taken the courage to move away from the ruling party syndrome.

So fellow Nigerians, with a standing ovation wherever you're reading this, raise your glasses, let's doff our hats as I propose a toast to the focused, undeterred, visionary,  tenacious, resilient and outstandingly brilliant Professor, Atahiru Jega!!

Chris Brown flirts with Karrueche Tran on social media

GEJ is my hero! Every time they called me to come meet him at the Villa, I blatantly refused. Now, one of my life's ambition is to meet President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and shake his hands. Listen to him calling Buhari to congratulate him the day the election results were announced. History will forever remember this man.

Another Nigerian sentenced to death in Indonesia for drug trafficking

Posted: 02 Apr 2015 05:55 AM PDT

A district court sitting in Tangerang, Jakartar in Indonesia has sentenced a Nigerian man, Simon Ezeaputa, to death following charges of drug trafficking.

According to Indonesian media, Simon, who is currently serving a 20 year jail term for offenses bothering on drug trafficking, was found guilty of running a drug cartel while in prison. He is accused to have recently engaged in a drug transaction that involved 350 grams of crystal methamphetamine.

Simon's death sentence brings to 13 the number of Nigerians currently on death row in Indonesia for drug trafficking offenses.

Nigerian government has constantly appealed to the Indonesian government for clemency and prisoner exchange so that those who are on death row in Indonesia can come back home to serve jail terms rather than be executed, a request the Indonesian government has failed to answer, maintaining that the Nigerians are adult enough to bear the consequences of their actions as they are aware that drug related offences in Indonesia comes with death sentences when caught.
