Posted: 01 Apr 2016 01:19 PM PDT

The Indian entertainment industry is in shock. The hashtag #PratyushaBanerjee  is the number trending topic in the country right now. Television actress Pratyusha Banerjee, known for her role in popular TV series Balika Vadhu, committed suicide today Friday April 1st. A Mumbai police officer said the 24-year-old was found hanging from a ceiling fan at her house in Mumbai's Goregaon. Some 'personal reasons' are said to be behind the suicide.
 
Banerjee was rushed to the Kokilaben Ambani Hospital in Andheri but was declared dead upon arrival. Confirming the news, Mumbai police spokesperson Dhananjay Kulkarni said that the hospital has sent a report on the Jamshedpur-born actress's death. Police are investigating the probable cause that may have led Banerjee to resort to commit suicide.

Banerjee was best known for her debut role in Balika Vadhu. She later shifted to reality shows and participated in Bigg Boss 7. Her last outing on TV was in Sasural Simar Ka ..
 
Earlier in January, she was in the news after she filed an FIR in Mumbai alleging that eight policemen tried to 'barge into' her house and misbehave with her.

Banerjee had claimed in her complaint that the men barged into her flat in Laljipada and left the place only after she threatened to call the police. 
 
Before entering Bigg Boss 7 in 2013, Banerjee had made headlines when she filed an FIR against her boyfriend Makrand Malhotra.

Actor Dolly Bindra said no one from the film fraternity believes she could have ended her life.

Various artists apart from Bindra including Sara Khan, Jay Bhanushali, Meghna Naidu, Sachin Shroff were seen waiting outside the accident and emergency ward at the hospital soon as the news reached them.

Denrele talks about his experience on the set of the movie, Pepper Soup

Posted: 01 Apr 2016 11:34 AM PDT

What he wrote below...
They say that true artists suffer for their craft, but perhaps no artist has suffered like myself on this hustle of ours! The moment I got the script titled #Peppersoup from Grace Oboba Edwin-Okon with me Denrele as the lead character, I just wanted to jump on board! And yes, I jumped on in my gangsta mode!
Whilst shooting the first scene, I was supposed to pass out but in a bid to make it convincing, I fell on my face and accidentally split my eye brow area open! I bled like crazy!!! REAL BLOOD!!!

The producer wanted to strike set and cancel the shoot but I refused! Say what? First rule: the show must go on! And I was kinda lucky we were shooting in an hospital (Pinnacle Medical centre) so there were nurses to dress the wound.

Had to add some extra extra extension to my hair to hide the plaster....And I got back on set like nothing happened! I'm was in a lot of pain buy hey...Pinnacle medical services and Derwin Productions had put too much into the project for Peppersoup to be scrapped..THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

I had fun shooting Peppersoup with Layole Oyatogun, Beverly Osu, Lisa Omorodion, Lilian Afegbai, Bryan Stevens and all the other cast members as well as the amazing crew the Executive producer Dr. Maymunah Kadiri, the director/producer Grace Oboba Edwin-Okon and everyone else who worked on Peppersoup.

This is probably the filthiest dorm room you've ever seen (photos)

Posted: 01 Apr 2016 11:43 AM PDT

A six-second clip shared online shows the squalid conditions two female university students live in. The video was captured in an unknown university in China. It shows the dorm room covered in mountains of rubbish, including half-finished lunch boxes, empty drink bottles, plastic bags and used tissues.


The floor of the entire room is covered in trash, little wonder it has been called "the filthiest girls' dormitory in history."

You may think its occupants can't wait to clean it out and breathe fresh air but that's not quite so. One of the young women can be heard saying in the video: "We've already shocked two roommates away with the smell. They used to sleep on the top bunks."

The girls not only display a total disregard for hygiene but seem happy to live in the filth.

For more than 5 years now, the name Bizzyaski has been at the topof Google.com search engine's rank with most keywords that has to do with Nigerian Tattoo.



4. Bizzyaski Was First To Invent Pinklip Magic®.

The California-trained beautician invented the soar-away product called Pinklip Magic® , Nigeria's first balm which helps people achieve a pink lip. Pinklip Magic® is fortified with all the herbal nutrients your lips need to stay healthy,soft and pink without the use of
harsh chemicals found in many of today's lip products. A lot of people used to permanently tattoo their lips pink through a
shading process just to have a pink lip, but this is very
dangerous and often lead to swollen lips or other irritation. Thanks to
Pinklip Magic®, a novel creation from Bizzyaski, anyone can have a soft, rosy, healthy, pretty and pinky lip in Just 7 Days!

This was the first time a Tattoo artist would be so embraced and projected in the mainstream in Nigeria.

 6. First To Bring Into The Country, The Carboxytherapy For Stretchmark

Carboxytherapy refers to the administration of carbon dioxide gas [CO 2] for therapeutic purposes.
Carboxytherapy was first used at the Royal Spas of France in 1932 with
the treatment of patients afflicted by peripheral arterial occlusive disease.
In South America and
Europe, carbon dioxide therapy has been applied to the treatment of stretch marks, cellulite, and
hypertrophic scars with impressive results. Studies have demonstrated
that carboxytherapy improves skin elasticity, improves circulation,
encourages collagen repair,
improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and destroys localized fatty deposits. Carboxytherapy is now in Nigeria courtesy of Bizzyaski Studios.

Nigerians are suffering, Buhari must stop needless foreign trips, US trip is “joke of the year” - Fayose

Posted: 01 Apr 2016 09:00 AM PDT

Read the press statement below...
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has called on well-meaning Nigerians to prevail on President Mohammadu Buhari to stop his needless foreign trips, describing the president's trip to the United States of America on Wednesday for the 4th Nuclear Security Summit while Nigerians are suffering at home as "joke of the year."
The governor said "it remains a mystery what President Buhari that met power generation at 6,000MW and could not manage it such that power generation crumbled to Zero Megawatt yesterday, will contribute to the Nuclear Energy Summit in America."

Speaking through his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said "it is shameful that while President Buhari was far away in the United States of America, attending a summit that does not have any bearing on Nigeria and its people, an unprecedented happened - power generation stopped completely for over three hours!"

He said the sufferings of Nigerians deserved the attention of the president instead of junketing around the world, wasting the country's scarce foreign exchange. The governor alleged that over $50 million must have been spent on the president's frequent foreign trips, adding that Nigerians should ask President Buhari whether his trip to the United States of America to attend Nuclear Energy Summit will bring the lingering fuel scarcity being experienced in the country to an end.

"Nigerians are suffering. Petrol has become so scarce that our people now sleep in petrol stations to buy fuel at N200 per litre while the president who should alleviate their sufferings is in the USA, attending a summit that he won't even understand whatever that is discussed there. "This is not acceptable. Mr President should stay at home and see to it that at least, power generation returns to 6,000MW that he met it if he cannot add to it.

 "Mr President should stay at home and bring this fuel scarcity that has paralysed almost all activities in the country to an end. "Nigerians are saying their president should stay at home and bring to an end the killings, raping of women and destruction of farmlands by Fulani herdsmen.

"Most importantly, the President should listen more to those of us who criticise him instead of those hailing every of his wrong steps either because of what they intend to gain or for fear of persecution," the governor said.

Jay Z sues former owners of his music streaming service, Tidal

Posted: 01 Apr 2016 08:54 AM PDT

Rapper Jay Z is suing the former owners of his music streaming service, Tidal, claiming they gave him an exaggerated figure of subscribers ahead of the sale.

According to reports, Jay Z filed paper work against Swedish venture capital company, Verdane claiming Aspiro and the music streaming platform WiMP, which would later become TIDAL, had far fewer than the 503k subscribers the company had claimed they had at the time of the sale.



Jay Z bought Aspiro for $56 million in March 2015. Jay Z is said to be seeking about $15m, according to Norwegian media.

Tidal released a statement saying: "We are excited that one year after Tidal launched, we have surpassed 3 million subscribers globally. The growth in our subscriber numbers has been even more phenomenal than we've previously shared.

"It became clear after taking control of Tidal and conducting our own audit that the total number of subscribers was actually well below the 540,000 reported to us by the prior owners. As a result, we have now served legal notice to parties involved in the sale.

"While we cannot share further comment during active legal proceedings, we're proud of our success and remain focused on delivering the best experience for artists and fans."
 
Tidal's celebrity backing has helped it rapidly make a mark on the streaming industry. It recently announced it has 3 million subscribers and had delivered 250m streams of Kanye West's latest album, which launched exclusively on the service in February. Other artistes such as Beyonce, T.I, Lil Wayne, Damian Marley have recently signed up to the service.

Wakanow relaunches its brand, partners Zenith bank in Africa roll out

Posted: 01 Apr 2016 08:33 AM PDT

In a move which could only be characterized as maverick, Wakanow has made a major change to its new identity and has unveiled plans to partner Zenith Bank as its banker of choice in the brands' roll out across Africa, UK and the UAE.

In a media launch which was graced by the management of Wakanow,  key members of the media, partners and friends of Wakanow, the new brand identity was unveiled by the Executive Director Zenith Bank,   (Place name and Portfolio here). The new logo, a combination of the very vibrant sea blue and orange colors, gives the brand, a more mature, and aspirational and fun outlook that resonates very soundly with her global intentions and with the dynamic nature of her target market.

Wakanow is Nigerians foremost online travel booking portal and has grown from a relatively humble beginning in 2008 to one of the power players in the travel industry in Nigeria today. Wakanow has distinguished itself in the online travel industry with the many achievements over the past 7 years. In 2013, she won the coveted Tony Elumelu All Nigeria Network Awards as one of the 50 fastest growing companies in Nigeria. In the midst of several awards including from airline partners and other stakeholders, the MD of Wakanow, Obinna Ekezie, won the prestigious All Africa Business Leaders Awards for West Africa for 2015. AABLA is awarded in partnership with the CNBC Africa.  Wakanow is the current exclusive ticket reseller for the 2016 RIO Olympics, a status that she also held for both the London Olympics and the World Cup in RIO Brazil in 2012.

Speaking on the launch, the Chief Marketing Officer, Mrs. Victoria Onwubiko, stated that in view of the plans by the company to go global, it was important for Wakanow to position itself to take on the headwinds of the new challenges. She stated that the new logo is a personification of upwards and forwards movement that is a key part of the brands mantra, with a simplicity that makes it easily recognizable among other leading world brands. She added that the Wakanow brand refresh is not just an external change, but will also run deep into the heart of the business forming a solid internal culture that will give it the back bone for excellence in quality service delivery.

In his address, the Managing Director and founder of Wakanow, Obinna Ekezie, expressed his delight at the events of the day, pointing out that Wakanow is poised to become a key player in not only Africa but of the world with an undying passion to change the way people do travel. He expressed his delight at the partnership with Zenith and saw it as a vehicle to take the innovative Wakanow products to Africa especially the new global DestinationsAfrica platform which will allow customers book travel packages to any African country, on one single platform, anywhere in the world.

The Wakanow vision is to delight her customers with well-priced packages that cannot found anywhere else and this proposition is made possible by the very extensive partnership that Wakanow has with Airlines and Hotels partners. Being an indigenous Africa company, Wakanow is well positioned to take the higher ground in making African travel an absolute delight for non-Africans as it targets new customers from Europe, US and the UAE.

In partnering with Zenith Bank for this global roll out Wakanow was looking for a banking partner that is not only nimble and forward focused, but also one that also has the capacity to take on the very rapidly expanding portfolio of the Wakanow brand. Zenith has good experience across Africa, with an impressive footfall in several African countries. It is globally recognized as a banker of choice with a keen eye for recognizing budding opportunities and taking them head one.  The synergy between the two companies makes them a natural fit.

Besides the online presence, Wakanow has over 25 travel centers across Nigeria with an intention to open 100 centers by the end of 2016.  Wakanow also has offices in Dubai, UK and Ghana. New offices are planned in the US and Kenya.

In a bid to diversify her business, Wakanow has also gone into the ground transportations business with the acquisition of Oya.com, a local bus, cargo and car hire services company.
