Kylie Jenner says she's 'high as f***' in new video as Tyga's grandma says she approves of their relationship

Posted: 08 May 2015 09:35 AM PDT

Well, her boyfriend is 25, so if she's drinking and getting 'high as f**8',  no one should be surprised. The 17 year old reality star was seen in a brief video posted on snapchat whispering 'I'm high as f***.' as she gazed off camera while on a trip with Tyga. 

Meanwhile Tyga's grandmother has given Kylie the seal of approval. 70 year old Kim Nguyen said she couldn't be happier that her grandson has traded Blac Chyna in for the 17 year old star. Talking exclusively to Daily Mail Online from her home in Los Angeles, the woman said;
'We all love Kylie and think she is so much better for Tyga than Blac. Yes she is King's mum, but Blac just wasn't a very nice person and Kylie comes from a much better family. She is such a sweet, lovely girl and seems to adore Tyga. So we didn't mind him splitting up from Blac. It was a relief for us all.'

Mercy Johnson sets her sights on box office dominance

Posted: 08 May 2015 09:17 AM PDT

She's the sweet actress adored by many, from the film producers to the bloggers to the press to the fans, Mercy Johnson is definitely doing a great job in positioning herself as not only the best female performer on the film scene but the most commercially desired name at the box office. 



With the back seat taken by the likes of Genevieve Nnaji and OmotolaJalade-Ekehinde in recent years, Mercy Johnson has shown tremendous industry and versatility in her craft which has not only won her praise by many, it has meant that she commands good financial packages for her roles in movies and justifyably so.

Therefore there is no coincidence that in a space of about 6 months Mercy will be appearing in 2 Nollywood blockbusters, one of which has set a record that will not be surpassed in a long time (30 Days in Atlanta) and the other set to release in cinemas in a few days' time called 'Thy Will Be Done' which is Directed by hit filmmaker Obi Emelonye (of The Mirror Boy, Last Flight to Abuja and OnyeOzi fame, all AMVCA winning films by the way) and Produced by Jason and Mary Njoku'sRok Studios.

Thy Will Be Done is the story of Pius (Ramsey Nouah) is a happily married pastor in charge of a large church. His first wife whom he buried seven years ago suddenly shows up, and his world is thrown into turmoil. His present wife is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring the intruder remains permanently out of his life. He has to make a tough decision as to which wife will remain in his home, after all, he was legally married to both; between old sins and new loyalties, taking firm action and surrendering to God's will. Weakened by guilt and overwhelmed by sensational revelations, nothing would have prepared Pius for how rapidly things would descend into chaos…for hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

THY WILL BE DONE is out in all cinemas from 15th May, 2015.

Zoning Formulas & Our Polity - By Charly Boy

Posted: 08 May 2015 07:54 AM PDT

Article written by Charly Boy. Read below and share your thoughts
Really been thinking about this zoning thing since this APC drama on it and wondering why we have allowed this to eat so deep into our system that at every quarter, it always raises its head. To think that the Change agents everyone has been clamoring about are back to the same issue of zoning formulas and reports have it that it is fast wreaking havoc is a high. It makes me wonder why zone in the first place?
The 360 states in the house of assembly, is it not enough representation for any quarter of the nation. Why do we need to complicate issues further because one would have thought the primary concern when it comes to appointment should be competence? We have tried this zoning thing over and again but what better has it done us because I hear someone say it helps to foster unity and participation.
I think the divides are more obvious now with this whole zoning thingy than it was with our founding fathers. I'm probably going to rest this argument by drawing this analogy; Take a look at our team called Super Eagles! Has anybody ever asked that positions in our football team be distributed across zones, or that the position of the captain, or coach for that matter, be rotated between North and South, etc? That I think is clearly because everyone is more interested in the team winning. I ask myself why do we want this win so badly? What is the price at stake? A piece of metal called trophy I suppose.
How about the Struggle to alleviate poverty staring at our face? How about the fight to educate millions of Almajiri? How about the fight to eradicate polio and reduce maternal mortality to negligible numbers? How about the fight to increase power generation seven fold by 2020? We have so much more at stake in these fights that the Super Eagle will ever have yet we let something as flippant as zoning take the Centre stage over competence. So, how is it we can demand that the coach pick out best 23 for the World Cup, and yet tolerate less in our Government? I hope posterity does not judge us for our lack of objectivity and sentiments instead.

This Chris Brown home intruder is crazy sha! And she's African!

Posted: 08 May 2015 06:07 AM PDT

The crazy chic who broke into Chris Brown's home, cooked a meal, got naked and made herself comfortable has been identified as 21 year old Amira Kodcia Ayep. She's already lost it at 21? Sad!
"The woman who was arrested for breaking into and vandalizing the home of Chris Brown may have recently flown off the hinges ... living a delusion in which she believes she is Brown's wife. Amira Kodcia Ayeb posted a message online 4 days ago, in which she says she's in Malibu "searching for her home." The 21-year-old from Tunisia also says her last name is Brown. It's apparent she thinks Chris is her husband, which is why she spray painted "Mrs. Brown" on his cars and in his house." TMZ reports
A friend of Ayeb's tells us Ayeb -- who is an aspiring singer -- attends the University of Houston, and she hopped on a bus last week and said she was going to see Chris.
TMZ broke the story ... Ayeb was arrested Wednesday night for breaking into Brown's home and vandalizing two of his cars. Chris found her naked in his bed, and it appears she was there for 2 days.
She is currently being held on $50,000 bail.

Amazing story of how a mother re-united with the son she left behind in Boko Haram camp

Posted: 08 May 2015 05:33 AM PDT

Margaret, a mother of 5 (pictured above) was abducted with two of her children, a son Jacob and daughter Halima from her village in Damboa Borno state late last year. She was taken to a Boko Haram camp where she met another abductee, Hauwa. Worried and unsettled about the safety and well being of her other children aged six, eight and ten she left behind when she was abducted, Margaret took the risk and fled the sect members camp with her daughter, handing over her son to Hauwa who she begged to look after him for her.


20 year old Hauwa, (pictured above) took care of the child and another child while in Boko Haram captivity, claiming the children as hers and using them to disguise that she was a married woman.
Margaret lived with the agony of not knowing where her young son and Hauwa were but as fate will have it, Hauwa and her son were among those rescued from Sambisa Forest recently and taken to an Internally Displaced Persons camp where they both met and reunited.
