Kanye says he and Kim are more influential than Barack & Michelle

Kanye needs to change his meds...lol. The talented rapper, who used to constantly criticize the media in the past, now seems to love the media since becoming a member of the Kardashian clan. Kanye now loves promoting himself and his baby mama Kim Kardashian any opportunity he gets.

In his latest interview, Kanye explains why he and his fiancee Kim are more influential than president Barrack Obama and the First Lady, Michelle Obama. Kanye tells Ryan Seacrest;

"There’s no way Kim Kardashian shouldn’t be on the cover of Vogue. She’s like the most intriguing woman right now. She’s got Barbara Walters calling her like everyday.”

“And collectively, we’re the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [Barack Obama] is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a [bikini] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day.”

Pic of the day: Google earth view of an unfortunately designed church

From street-level, there doesn't seem to be anything comical about the design of the Christian Science Society of Dixon in Illinois (Lol at Dixon) but when viewed from the heavens (space), the sanctuary looks like an erect 'you know what'. Hehe. Eagle-eyed redditors using Google Earth spotted the likeness recently...

fake-kelly-dupes-fans-louisiana   

The King of R&B, R. Kelly was nowhere to be found at the R.Kelly Live In Concert in Louisiana last weekend as fans waited for three hours after buying tickets to the show. Instead, a fake R. Kelly showed up late and lip sung throughout the concert, according to 8 News.

Reports say fans haven’t stopped complaining bitterly after paying good money [$150] only to get a lip-synching impostor perform in the same concert at the Monroe Civic Center,La. Organizers apparently advertised the singer Saturday night [Oct.26] but once a performer finally took the stage, it wasn’t the real R.Kelly.

According to an eye witness, the same guy was spotted in a local restaurant earlier that day and when fans ran to him for pictures and autograph, he shunned them and took off almost immediately. It was the same guy who rocked the stage R. Kelly was suppose to perform, hours later.[Watch video below]

Now, those in attendance want their $150 back!

Music Producer, Sarz Becomes First Nigerian Ambassador For Nike

 
Sarz, a prolific Nigerian music producer is hardly seen in social circles, but his works speak loudly for him. He is behind most Nigerian artistes' monstrous hit songs, infact, he was hailed in Wizkid's new song Jaiyejaiye ft Femi Kuti, whose video was released few days back. Whenever Nike is mentioned, what usually comes to mind is sport, so linking Nike with music was a little bit weird but when success comes knocking......

Sarz, whose real name is Osaretin Osabuohien, has become the first Nigerian to sign an endorsement deal with top-flight sports equipment company, Nike. He was recently unveiled in Lagos. As a brand ambassador, he would be involved in many Nike events and activations in Nigeria.

For instance, he'll be headlining the 'We Run Lagos' campaign, a 10-kilometre race which will start on November 16, at the Onikan Stadium, athletes will go through the Eko Bridge and then finish the race at Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.

Karrueche thrashes Chris Brown after arrest. Yup, they're broken up

Chris Brown's on-and-off again girlfriend Karrueche Tran trashed him on twitter today a few hours after it emerged that he'd been arrested for punching a man in D.C. Her reaction to the news came as a surprise to some people because their split, which happened recently, hadn't been made public.

Chris and Karrueche had a falling out about a week ago after she asked to move into Chris' LA pad. A source claims Chris flipped over the request and accused Karrueche of not being 'grateful' for everything he already does for her, and for trying to push him too hard. Chris and Karrueche  have since unfollowed each other on Twitter. Lol. Continue...

Women who are more powerful than Jonathan

Since inception, President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration has been accused of impunity, usually caused by decisions and actions of the President, including those of his ministers and close associates.

Most of the glaring cases of abuse of power including reckless spending of taxpayers’ money have been carried out by the women in Jonathan’s cabinet. These women have proven to be more powerful than the

number one citizen of Nigeria because despite public outcries that greet some of their decisions, they go scot-free.

Those who fall in this seemingly untouchable category are the First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan; the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala; the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke; the Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, Ms. Arunma Oteh; and the Minister of Aviation, Ms. Stella Oduah.

These powerful women have some things in common. They are all from the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones. Four of them had their higher education in the United States and two of them are daughters of traditional rulers. Needless to say they occupy some of the most strategic and ‘lucrative’ positions in the Federal Government.

PATIENCE JONATHAN

In Nigeria’s history, Patience Jonathan is believed to be the most powerful First Lady in terms of the amount of influence she has over her husband and his cabinet. Mrs. Jonathan first gave a glimpse into the enormous power she wields in 2011 when she traversed the country, campaigning for her husband in a way that irked many Nigerians.

Several calls by individuals and groups to the President to restrain his wife yielded no result. Also, in June this year, in apparent violation of the electoral act, Mrs. Jonathan reportedly started campaigning for her husband ahead of the 2015 elections. Another show of impunity by the President’s wife is the way she cripples any town or city she visits with her long motorcade, including bulletproof limousines and scores of armed policemen.

She grounded Lagos in 2012 when she visited to say “thank you” to some women groups for their support in electing her husband. Despite the protest by several Nigerians, who felt that their right to move freely in their country was violated by the movement of an unelected individual, the President’s wife was never cautioned, at least not publicly. Instead, the Presidency rose to her defence, giving her the liberty to do more in other cities. Her visits and grounding of traffic in Port Harcourt and Warri were also greeted with wide condemnations.

To show how powerful she is, Mrs. Jonathan publicly admitted making attempts to dictate to the Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, a move that largely precipitated the ongoing political crisis in the state.

In Aso Rock, where she resides with her husband, the fear of Mrs. Jonathan is the beginning of wisdom as she leaves no one in doubt that she is in charge. There is always a retinue of favour seekers waiting to see her daily.

Mrs. Jonathan, a native of Bayelsa State, was born in Port Harcourt on October 25, 1957 and holds National Certificate of Education in Mathematics and Biology from the Rivers State College of Arts and Science, and a Bachelor of Education degree in biology and psychology from the University of Port Harcourt.

Messi and Ronaldo’s last chance to stop Ribery - the Clasico that decides the 2013 Ballon d'Or winner

As with most clashes between Barcelona and Real Madrid, this Saturday's Clasico is set to be centred around the magnificent figures of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. But whereas the figureheads of the two Spanish giants are usually embroiled in a battle for the Fifa Ballon d'Or, this time around the pair are simply competing to be even considered.
Franck Ribery's sensational form with Champions League-winning Bayern Munich during 2013 has already helped him to pip the perennial award winners to the Uefa Player of the Season trophy for 2012-13, and he currently stands as a clear favourite for the main prize at the Ballon d'Or gala in January. But with the shortlist set to be announced on Tuesday, this weekend's Clasicoclash comes at the perfect time for one of Messi and Ronaldo to stake a late claim for the award.

BALLON D'OR WINNERS | Individual kings since 2008

Year	Winner	Second Place	Third Place
2008	CRISTIANO RONALDO	LIONEL MESSI	FERNANDO TORRES
2009	LIONEL MESSI	CRISTIANO RONALDO	XAVI HERNANDEZ
2010	LIONEL MESSI	ANDRES INIESTA	XAVI HERNANDEZ
2011	LIONEL MESSI	CRISTIANO RONALDO	XAVI HERNANDEZ
2012	LIONEL MESSI	CRISTIANO RONALDO	ANDRES INIESTA

It is arguable that Ribery's performances in Bayern's treble-winning side have already stacked up enough credit to end Messi's four-year run of victories in the Best Player category of football's homage to the Oscars, but immediacy often plays its part in such events. Should either the Argentine or the Portuguese turn in a blinder at Camp Nou, then it will be difficult for voters to think back beyond a huge performance in one of the world's biggest twice-annual sporting fixtures.

As if proof were needed, Messi and Ronaldo have now collected five straight Ballons d'Or between them, with last year's 2-2 Clasico draw thought to have helped to clinch the award for the Barca No.10. Many claimed the clash would settle the world player gong, with Ronaldo needing to outperform his big rival in order to strike gold, but the two cancelled each other out with a brace of goals each.

    Cartoon of the Day: Messi and Ronaldo's last chance to stop Ribery pursuit

And that was nothing new. In four of the last five years, Ronaldo and Messi have hogged the top two spots in the voting between them. It has become a simple way of life, with the game's best two players of their generation sharing the significant limelight of football's modern age.

The same tussle will again be in the forefront of the world's collective mind as the two step out at 1800 CET on Saturday, but this time the extra prize for the winner will be the right to challenge Ribery for the individual crown. The timing couldn't be better for one of football's greatest ever players to state his case for another title. The only question is: which one?

Blackberry Launches BB Messenger for Android, Iphones for free

Blackberry reports more than 10 million downloads in 24 hours.

Blackberry Messenger, BBM, for iOS and Android got off to a flying start Tuesday, with BlackBerry reporting more than 10 million downloads during the free app’s first 24 hours of availability.

Blackberry messenger for downloadBlackberry Limited, who has been struggling financially, recently announced its intention to lay off a third of its workforce, adding that it expects to announce financial losses of almost a billion dollars for the June to August quarter, Reuters reports.

But despite BBM’s failed launch in September, 2013, Blackberry recorded an amazing success in the first 24 hours after resuming the launch of BBM for Android and iPhone.

The company’s executive vice president Andrew Bocking, took to the officialBlackBerry blog to thank customers, employees, and partners for their “enthusiasm and commitment” in getting BBM for iOS and Android off the ground, even if the process didn’t go as smoothly as he might have liked.

The rush to download the instant messaging app saw it shoot to the top of app charts in more than 75 countries, including the US, Canada, the UK, Indonesia and most of the Middle East, the executive said, adding, “We have also seen overwhelmingly positive reviews on Google Play and the App Store. In fact, BBM has earned 60,000 five-star reviews on Google Play from about 87,000 reviews.”

All that and the app isn’t even running at full throttle yet as Mr. Bocking promised that BBM features found on the BlackBerry 10 version of the app, including BBM Video, BBM Voice, and BBM Channels, would be coming to the iOS and Android versions “in the near future,” along with other new features.

Although over 10 million people have downloaded the app, a portion of those will be doing little more than simply staring expectantly at the BBM icon, with BlackBerry having opted for a little-by-little approach to activating new BBM accounts in an effort to ease the pressure on its servers.

After downloading BBM, the user is prompted to enter his/her email address and hold his/her place in line. Once you hit the front, BlackBerry sends an email to let you know the app is ready for use. Presumably this system will be dropped once demand begins to ease up, allowing downloaders to dive straight in.

Of course, with so much competition out there in the instant messaging space, there’s no guarantee BBM will become the app of choice for iOS and Android users, but the degree of early interest certainly shows people are keen to take it for a spin to see how it stacks up against the competition.

Have you downloaded the new BBM? How’s it looking for you?

Beverly Osu Finally Admits Having Séx In Big Brother Africa

Beverly and Angelo 2
When she first came out of the Big Brother Africa reality show, Beverly Osu stunned many by denying that she ever had intercourse with Angelo in the bath, even though almost everyone on the social media have watch the video and saw the act clearly. Anyway, she is now singing a new song. Below is what she said:

MY LIFE OUTSIDE BBA…

My life outside BBA has been wonderful. It’s nothing I cannot handle.
THE PAINS AND GAINS…
Well, I’m usually a very busy person, but it’s just that right now, I’ve been a very unstable person. Sometimes, I can’t even stay here in Lagos for a week without traveling here and there. I think that’s a good thing because good things are coming out of it. And apparently, there’s always the negative side and that is mostly things that are not true that you hear about yourself; how people see you and so on. Some people don’t really bother about perception, but if you’re somebody like me, you will think about it and sometimes it will affect your work. But I thank God that my life has been good.

THE SEX SCENE AT THE BBA…
Apparently, I don’t feel sorry because I was being myself. So, I can’t say sorry to anyone who feels disappointed. They’re living their lives and I’m living mine. The only difference is that I was in a house where I had to make the platform work for me; the platform everybody enjoyed seeing me make. If you guys stuck to your television for 91 days only to see my faults, then you should check yourself because people have their faults and it’s only people with faults that quickly notice that in other persons. I don’t criticise people and I don’t think people should critisice me... no matter how you look at it, I’m still a youth.

Kim and Kanye will have a pre-nup

Kim and Kanye will have a prenuptial agreement before they marry.
From TMZ
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have already agreed ... they will keep their assets separate by drawing up a prenup before they tie the knot ... TMZ has learned.
Multiple sources connected with the couple tell us ... both Kanye and Kim are committed to the marriage and they are not signing a prenup because they're worried the relationship might fall apart. But they're both business people and know given their vast wealth it's just the smart thing to do to have a prenup.
Kim especially understands the importance of a prenup because her late father, attorney Robert Kardashian, told her over and over about the necessity of having clear contracts when it came to money.
We're also told ... even though they will keep their assets separate, they will have a fat joint account for living expenses that will probably approach the gross national product of a small country.
As for how much they have ... some reports place Kim's wealth at $40 mil and Kanye's at $90 mil. But we're told Kim's actually worth more than Kanye.

Twitter plans to raise up to $1.4bn via its share sale

Twitter says it has over 200 million active users but has yet to turn a profit

Twitter has unveiled the price range for its shares when the company lists on the stock exchange.
In a filing on Thursday, Twitter said it planned to sell 70 million shares priced between $17 and $20 (£10 - £12) to raise up to $1.4bn (£865m).

The offering represents 13% of Twitter and values it at as much as $11bn.

Analysts said the valuation, which was less than forecast, indicated the firm wanted to avoid the dip in prices that followed Facebook's listing.

"They're trying to price this for a very strong IPO, ideally creating the conditions for a solid after-market," said Brian Wieser of the Pivotal Research Group.

Facebook's shares were priced initially at $38 per share. The stock soared within hours of its debut to a high of $45 but later slumped.

Some analysts had blamed over pricing of the shares as a reason behind the fall. However, Facebook shares have since recouped most of their losses and are now trading above the listing price.Earnings worries
Twitter's share sale on the New York Stock Exchange will make it the biggest internet company to go public after Facebook.

The microblogging site has seen steady growth since its launch seven years ago.

According to its IPO documents, it now has 218 million monthly users and 500 million tweets are sent a day.

However, all those users and tweets have not yet resulted in a profit. Twitter made a loss of $69m in the first six months of 2013, on revenues of $254m.

Mystery girl Maria's parents found in Bulgaria by DNA

Maria was found in a Roma camp near Farsala, central Greece

DNA tests have confirmed a Bulgarian Roma couple as the biological parents of mystery child Maria, found in Greece last week, Bulgarian officials say.

They identified the couple as Sasha Ruseva and Atanas Rusev.

The officials are investigating whether the mother had sold the child - a claim she has denied.

Maria was found at a Roma camp in central Greece. Police noticed the lack of resemblance between the blonde girl and the adults she was staying with.

The couple, Christos Salis and Eleftheria Dimopoulou, have since been charged with child abduction. They have insisted the girl was given to them legitimately.

Maria - who was found near Farsala, central Greece - is currently being cared for by the Athens-based charity The Smile of the Child.There have been thousands of inquiries following an appeal to identify her. The case has also sparked concern over prejudice and racism towards Roma people.
