Kaita Sani Recalled By Nigeria

Kaita red carded in South Africa in the match against Greece

Everyone who watched the 2010 World Cup and was rooting for Nigeria remembers Kaita Sani. In case you do not, he is the player who got himself sent off and left the Nigerian team one man short in their match against Greece. He became the most hated Nigeria player after that match, well rightfully so! I know most of us prayed he would never play for Nigeria again, however he has been recalled for the friendly against Iran on November 17. 


Lets hope he has learned something!

Did You Know ~ The Engagement Ring

Big Brother Africa All Stars 2010 Runner Up 'Munya Chidzonga' Handed $300,000 By President Mugabe

Big brother Africa all stars 2010 runner up Munya of Zimbabwe was shown on state television footage receiving a $300,000 cheque from President Mugabe. According to the BBC, Mugabe was quoted saying "From our point of view, for us, you were the winner,". The cheque he received is a third more than that of the actual winner Uti Nwachukwu. The sentiment in Zimbabwe is that Munya was robbed of the final victory while analyst think Mugabe is using Munya's popularity as a ploy to endear himself to younger voters. 


Congratulations to Mr Munya, guess you can rub that in Uti's face.   People who think he was robbed need to get a life! Its just a television show.  On to real life issues, your president has been in power for the last two decades; complain about that instead!

Movie Review: The Social Network

The 'Social Network' is truly a delectable feast for real movie lovers especially in this age of spectacular crappy Hollywood movies. "Erica Albright is a bitch... For the record, she may look like a 34D, but she's getting all kinds of help from our friends at Victoria Secret. She's a 34B, as in barely anything there. False Advertising." That quote had me hooked the first 10mins into the movie. The movie is surprisingly packed with unintentional jokes that endear you to the characters. The movie chronicles the genesis of the social network Facebook especially the genius and eccentricity of its founder Mark Zuckerberg. It boasts a group of talented, young actors, definitely ones to watch. Jesse Eisenberg was born to play the role of Mark Zukerberg, his talent is undeniable. Majority of the movie focuses on the lawsuits filed against Mark Zuckerburg by his best friend and co-founder of Facebook Eduardo Saverin and The Winklevoss twins. While Saverin did in fact have a genuine claim, I feel the settlement made to the Winklevoss twins reflects the travesty of the American justice system! 65Million settlement for kind of stealing their idea is daylight robbery but we all know more money is stolen with a briefcase than with a gun. 
Our Verdict: Geeks are the new black, rush to the cinema! 


Favourite Quotes from the Social Network: 

Mark Zuckerberg: "You know you really don't need a damn forensic team to get to the bottom of this. If you guys were the inventors of Facebook you'd have invented Facebook"
Divya Narendra: "I'm just gonna stand over your shoulder while you write us a check."
Mark Zuckerberg: "No shit"

Erica Albright: "You are going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know from the bottom of my heart that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole."

Eduardo Saverin: "The dining hall was serving chicken for dinner and I had to feed my chicken so I just... I cut up little pieces of chicken and gave it to the chicken. There were a lot of people there and someone must have seen me and the next thing I knew I was being accused of forced cannibalism"

Did You Know ~ The White Wedding!

The term 'White Wedding' originated from the white colour of the wedding dress, which only became popular in the Victorian era after Queen Victoria wore a white lace dress at her wedding. Many people later assumed that the white colour symbolized virginity but prior to the Victorian era, brides got married in any colour they chose. 

What is Wrong With This Picture??????

I came across this picture and there are officially no words to define the crassness of the bride. What is wrong with this picture?

Uti Nwachukwu Wins Big Brother Africa Allstars

In the closest Big Brother Africa voting race ever, Nigeria's Uti Nwachukwu triumphed over fellow house mate Munya Chidzonga to emerge the winner of the show and the $200,000 grand prize. For Uti whose father passed away while he was in the Big brother house the win will definitely be bittersweet. Here is hoping he spends the money wisely. What would you do if you won $200,000? 

'Chocolata' ~ New Video from Omawumi Feat Naeto C

This is the official video for 'Chocolata'; the latest single from Nigerian recording artist Omawumi featuring Naeto C. The video was directed by Bobby Boulders, its fun and flirty although in some scenes Omawumi was looking a little like Naeto C's video hoe! Sorry but its true.

She will discuss her fiction books tomorrow in the Capitol's senate chamber from 2.45pm to 3.30pm CST. In her interview with the Statesman, she states "When I'm back in Lagos, my friends constantly tease me about ordering steamed vegetables in restaurants, which is something they don't do in Nigeria.

T.I ordered back to Prison

US rapper T.I has run out of chances and has been ordered back to prison for violating his probation with his recent drug arrest. According to CNN 'T.I begged U.S. District Judge Charles Pannell Jr. for mercy, saying he needed help for his drug addiction, not more time in prison'. The pleas fell on deaf ears as he was still sentenced to 11months beginning in two weeks. Guess Judge Charles Pannell Jr. has heard it all before, and I think T.I deserves the sentence for being such a dumbass!

Alicia Keys has a Baby Boy!

Alicia Keys became the mother of a baby boy on Thursday October 14th. Alicia and husband music producer Swizz Beatz named their bundle of  joy Egypt Daoud Dean!  We are not so sure about 'Egypt' as a boys name, the kids at school would have a field day with this one.  What do you think? 

Official Music Video for 'Be My Man' by Asa

I love this video, its old school style makes it really clean, fresh and unique!

I know I just sounded like a fatty but honestly am not even chubby I swear!

The Dele Momodu Presidential campaign launched a nationwide competition in search for the best presidential campaign jingle and music video concept which would be used for his campaign. There was a press conference release today at the W. in Ikeja, Lagos. Prizes for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners are: N2.5 million, N1.5 million and N1 million respectively.

Anyway this is definitely a great opportunity for whoever wins! 

Victoria Secret Fashion Show 2010

The Victoria Secret Fashion show is set to take place in New York and will be aired November 30th on CBS. Akon and Katy Perry are scheduled to perform at the event while our favourite angels stomp the runway. I am pretty excited to have Adriana Lima back on stage!

Bristol Palin described as a Teen Activist ... WTH!!!

Bristol and Sarah Palin

Bristol Palin is the daughter of former Alaskan governor Sarah Palin who tainted her mother's election campaign with her teenage pregnancy. Now Bristol is on Dancing with the Stars this season and is being introduced every week on the show as a teen activist! What the heck, she's a teenage girl who got pregnant and is always in the media attention whoring like her mother. I think the appropriate word here is 'HOE ACTIVIST'. Stop celebrating mediocrity, we need real role models.

Ex Oceanic Bank CEO Cecilia Ibru Gets Sentenced to Prison

Former Oceanic bank of Nigeria CEO, Cecilia Ibru has been sentenced to six months in prison after pleading guilty to 3 of 25 counts of fraud and mismanagement. She is also being fined 1.2billion Naira. This is definitely progress being made in the fight against corruption and making people in power accountable for their actions. The problem is I do not think the punishment is harsh enough to serve as a deterrent to other banking executives who choose to break and consider themselves above the law!

Not So Easy A... More of an Easy F!!!

Okay so I went to see the movie 'Easy A' and was quite disappointed. The trailer was so inviting and it seemed the movie would be that funny, full of personality teen movie which adults could get into. The lead actress played by Emma Stone was quite witty and the scenes with her family were pretty hilarious outside of that the movie plot was unintelligent. I was so bored and started wishing my friend had agreed to see the 'Social network' instead! I would rate this movie one star, not worth the trip to the cinema, wait for it to premiere on television!

Toni Braxton Files for Bankruptcy

Toni Braxton has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in the state of California.The R&B singer claims to owe over 50million and is only worth between 1 and 10 million. She had previously filed bankruptcy in 1998 and had an IRS lien filed against her in the amount of $306,00 earlier this year. Scrolling down the list of her creditors, it obvious she likes to live way above her means or is deluded about how much she actually earns!

Thick Plot: Two States by Chetan Bhagat

Chetan Bhagat and Wife

Two states is a book written by Indian writer Chetan Bhagat, the book is a story based on his marriage. A friend gave me the book to read and I found it really interesting to know that even though we are from different countries we all have similar issues. The book chronicles the romance between a boy and a girl from two different states in India and the reluctance of their families to accept their union. The writing style of Chetan Bhagat simple and full of silent humor which was a great appeal as it made the book an easy read! If you are in search of a good read check out this book!
