Day 1 Highlights

OLAJUMOKE ORISAGUNA: STOP HATING ON HER!!!

Olajumoke is not a model!!! Olajumoke's time will soon pass!!! Olajumoke is just a publicity stunt!!! Olajumoke this!!! Olajumoke that!!! Haba! The number of people grieving over her success now are  more than those who wish her well. I do not know if she checks her media messages but if she could she'd probably have a heart attack. 

Haters feel she doesn't deserve the luxury and attention she's getting just because she didn't really work for it. So just because she did not have a formal education,didn't hustle for her modeling contract and extra freebies and did not go through the rat race of making it to the top she doesn't deserve to be celebrated? Whether she qualifies or not her hard work of hawking bread around the streets of Lagos has finally paid off. Not everyone who hawks bread gets this lucky. Ty Bello would have as well deleted her 'victory' photo from her final selections but even fate knew that it was her time to shine. What haters should do is to value her uniqueness and commend her for being nearly as professional as she is in less than three months. Most models practice for over a year before they even achieve as much composure as Olajumoke has. 

 


Olajumoke is a strong woman. When you study her photos,you can actually see in her pretty eyes the struggles,disapointments and happiness she has gone through. You can see life,a thousand unsaid words through her body gestures.She is a source of inspiration to a whole lot of people around the world and her story has given people hope. She is a living proof that no matter who you are or where you are,qualifications or past experiences when it is your time to become great, nothing,absolutely nothing can stop you.

For those who think her fame will soon come to an end well lets see where your own hustle gets you to.Things like this do not happen everyday and so when you hear about an uncommon situation like this,you should only thank God for the persons life and keep your fingers crossed so that your "bad belle" won't make you miss your own luck just incase it is around the corner.

NEW VIDEO ALERT: REEKADO BANKS "STANDARD"

Mavin Records artist Reekado Banks is out with the video of his single “Standard”.

Watch below.

ZENITH BANK'S MANAGEMENT THEME GOES TO BEG GOV FAYOSE

A management team from Zenith Bank Plc visited Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, over the involvement of the bank in the funding of the June 21, 2014 governorship election of the governor.

Their visit to the governor followed a reported denial by the bank that it was not part of the funding of the election.
The team was led by an Executive Director, Sola Oladipo. It also had two zonal directors of the bank and the Ado-Ekiti branch manager.
When accosted by newsmen, the ED said they only came to see the governor.
Asked whether the bank really dissociated itself from the claim by the governor that it was part of the funding of the election, Shola could only mutter some inaudible words.

He eventually said the spokesman for the bank was not on the team and could not say anything.
While commenting on the development, Governor Fayose said the bank officials came to beg him over the issue.

“They were begging me and that the matter should not go beyond this level.
I asked them why did they go to the EFCC to tell lies.
Why did they have to lie that money came from the Office of the National Security Adviser? If the money is for me why did they have to link with me what is not.”

CHRIS BROWN IN TROUBLE AGAIN. FRESH LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST HIM.

Music star Chris Brown is in another legal drama. Chris Brown’s (ex) manager Michael Guirguis, also known as Mike G, has filed a lawsuit against Chris for assault, battery, false imprisonment, intentional infliction of emotional distress, breach of contract and breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

Mike G alleges the singer “brutally” attacked him in early May before embarking on his European tour.

The manager claims Brown was in a “drug-fueled” rage when he attacked him in a room and punched him four times in the face and neck resulting in injuries that led to an emergency room visit.

According to the documents, the singer allegedly took to social media afterward, “boasting” to his friends about the incident.

Chris Brown went on Instagram, in a video that has since been deleted, to say that he fired his manager because the manager was stealing from him.

CYNTHIA MORGAN ALLOWS INTERVIEWER TOUCH HER BOOBS. LOL

     
    
  I always knew Cynthia Morgan was crazy and so this did not come as a surprise to me.  

Zinna, the interviewer popularly known for her controversial interview with Omawumi, was 

allowed to feel popular Dance hall artiste's boobs to prove to her questioning fans that they 

are actually real. Oh well! so it has been confirmed that they are real. 

She also talked about her album containing 26 tracks coming out soon. We are all waiting 

for it.

CORPORATE BEGGARS

 

        Beggars are everywhere. We see them in shredded clothes and plastic plates with their arms stretched out in sorrowful or sun wrinkled faces. The only thing they live for is the sound of a penny a willing heart chooses to drop on their always empty plate. But nowadays, things have changed. You can't tell if one is a beggar or not because the begging game has turned a new leaf.

         My friend and I managed to walk through the crowded park with our heads tilted down in order not to let the rain drops get into our still dry faces. It wasn't raining heavily neither was it a mild drizzle. It fell on a steady, unending stretch only the ones in a hurry could afford to walk through. "See!!!", my friend exclaimed, "...that's an ATM machine over there".  we walked towards it with the delight of having shelter for a while. As I waited for my friend to used the ATM, I stood and noticed the serious argument between a lady and a man. " why would you tell me the amount to give to you? Are you the owner of the money?", the lady said. The man replied in unclear words, but I could tell that he was trying to defend himself.
         I still wondered what called for this argument. The man seemed well dressed and learned. Why would this lady decide to address him lesser than the way he was dressed? It was when the argument got intense I realized that the gentleman was only a beggar. People call them cooperate beggars. I mean, it is almost like a full time job for the shameless. Able bodied men and women dress up so nicely that you could never tell what their real intentions are. They go to ATM spots and patiently wait for people to withdraw cash and then beg them to give them a piece of the denomination they withdrew. Their excuses are normally, " Excuse me Please, I am stranded and I need X- amount to go to work right now". The amazing ones are children. They wear neat school uniforms and go around begging with the disguise of having no transport fare to go home.
      Its so surprising how beggars have upgraded their begging game. But against all odds, I am impressed by their innovation. Yes, it is cunny, I know. If only they could channel all that passion into chasing better things the world would be a better place. But then again, while in public, we should learn to look carefully at those around us. You never can tell who the beggar is!

HOME SWEET HOME!

       
 


 Coming back home was relieving but then again my belly still ached at the thought of how much I missed my Kano days. Somewhere in my heart, I still wish I could rewind the hands of time and go back to my life eleven months ago. Unlike the north, this other part of Nigeria operates on a different level. It took me just this experience to know that I was really back home. As I wandered through the city's central park I got an impromptu reality check. 

   "Hey you", a voice beside me said tapping my shoulder. I turned to see a well dressed guy whom I have never met before. Just in case he had mistaken me for someone else I ignored his call and continued the already ended discussion I was making with my friend who happened to walk along with me. " I dey talk to you ", the strange guy continued, this time with a firmer grip on my elbow. " haba, you know me before? why you dey touch me like that? ", I asked already getting pissed. "my oga dey call you, ee wan see you", he said with a naughty tone and facial expression. I turned to look at the direction his pointed finger faced and I realized that the well dressed guy was just a bus conductor obeying the order of the bus driver whom he was working for. Obviously they were both in the mood to fool around and I was their unsuspecting victim. At first, I wondered why a bus conductor would dress so detailed and then I tried my best to ignore his petty trouble. He still tried to get my attention but this time he kept pulling my arms. Ahh! I began to rain rude words at him and the driver who were obviously having fun as they both replied me in a rude manner too.

   Not being conscious of where I was as a result of the upsetting situation, I had not noticed that I drew a little attention from the people around me. As I paused and took a breathe, I saw a number of curious eyes getting entertained by the dramatic scene. Then I began to wish I made more attempts to resist the urge of my defense mechanism earlier on. In this part of Nigeria, nobody argues or throw words at bus conductors or drivers. They simply know how to play the game better. Meanwhile, my friend just stood beside me trying not to laugh. But it was too late, I caught her right when she gave up and started laughing. The two trouble makers who had just ruined my mood joined in the laughter. Trying not to dwell on the situation, I surprised myself by laughing out too as though it was all a planned out routine on display. I then shook my head in amazement and continued walking through the crowded park with my giggling friend tagging along, reminding myself once again that I was back home...oh sweet home!

TAYLOR SWIFT AND BOYFRIEND CALVIN HARRIS BREAK UP

 

After one year of what we thought was magical, the couple Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris decided to go their seperate ways. Few months ago, they marked their one year relationship with a dreamy vacation and all seemed like it was a fairy tale "happily ever after". 

Sources said they didn't have any fight or catch anyone cheating but they just knew the relationship wasn't working out anymore.
