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.

Chimamanda Adichie at the Texas Book Festival!


Nigerian Author Chimamanda Adichie was one of the speakers at the Texas book festival which took place in Austin today and will wrap up tomorrow. 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. So, I suppose here I'm Nigerian; in Nigeria, I'm American." Click on the link below to read the full interview.

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! The setting, not the food in the video definitely has me craving some 'Johnny Rockets' burger with fries and thick thick strawberry milkshake ... Yummy! I know I just sounded like a fatty but honestly am not even chubby I swear!

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.
