Wizkid And Akon Under Attack

     A popular US blog, bossip.com recently blasted singing sensation Wizkid and Akon for preferring to use light-skinned ladies for their upcoming video.

Apparently, a few ladies at the auditions got miffed and let out the story.

Here is how it was reported on Bossip;

    Ahead of the upcoming concert that will see the likes of Akon, WizKid, Sarkodie and more in Ghana, controversy sparks! In a recent video shoot for an up and coming Akon and WizKid video, some Ghanaian models and girl were called upon to participate by the directors a few days ahead of the shoot.

Presumably prior to Akon and Wiz Kids arrival in Ghana.

    A model reported on the day of the shoot some girls were turned away as the agent (or the man responsible for calling them) informed them that "they now want half cast girls". A term used to describe girls with mixed heritage, usually ones with white blood in them.

    "THEY", most likely referring to WizKid, Akon and/or his music video. producer, turning away a fleet of arrivals originally requested to attend by the model scout. In fact, the agent requested if the girls could help him seek light skinned girls because 'THEY' were so adamant on this request even on late notice.

    Nigeria, where WizKid is from, and Senegal where Akon is from, are countries both flooded with girls bleaching their skin simply because of such discrimination and being made to feel ugly if dark. Not just in media and modelling, but general favours in life. Whilst there are good people in both countries trying to reverse the self esteem damage of such activities such as Adama Paris who banned skinned bleach models from the Senegalese national fashion week, Akon and Wiz Kid's team are trying to further such acts internationally.

   If this is the intentions Akon and the arrogant side kick WizKid wish to introduce to Ghana, then we will be more than glad to uninvite them. Unfortunately for these bigots, Ghana has never been a land where girls are discriminated for skin tone in any field. In such matters, it is obvious they will pass the blame onto an employee to maintain their reputation. But for any such behavior, both these artists should be boycotted until their position is clarified.

How To Satisfy Her In Bed: 6 Women Explain What Sexual Satisfaction Means To Them

     What does "sexual satisfaction" actually mean?

    A study published in the September 2013 sought to answer that question. Researchers asked 449 women and 311 men in committed relationships how they define sexual satisfaction, and sorted the resulting responses into general categories, either related to personal sexual wellbeing or things you experience with a partner, as seen in the image below:

   

This visual starts to give us an idea of what people are looking for to feel satisfied in their sex lives, but we wanted some more personal definitions. 6 women express what they describe as sexual satisfaction below;

"When my man doesn't stop when he is finished, or makes it a point to see that I am finished, that is sexual satisfaction.

    Sexual satisfaction is a well-received and sought-after form of communication. To me, sexual satisfaction is a conversation of love. When my man makes it a point to do the things he knows I like, to ask what feels good, and to make the conversation two-sided, I am satisfied. I am motivated to reciprocate this for him. When my man doesn't stop when he is finished, or makes it a point to see that I am finished, that is sexual satisfaction. At the end, when we both have reached our goal, and he holds me and whispers, "I love you," that is sexual satisfaction.

-- Age 22,

"What leads up to it and how that makes me feel."

     My idea of sexual satisfaction is not necessarily the sexual act itself, but more what leads up to it and how that makes me feel. For example, I want touching, caressing, slow kisses -- mainly some amazing foreplay that satisfies my body before we do the deed or honestly it just feels like a chore.

-- Age 35

"Exploring each others' physical desires with respect and reciprocation."

      Sexual satisfaction means two people exploring each others' physical desires with respect and reciprocation. You don't necessarily need to be in love to fulfill someone's sexual satisfaction, but the experience is enhanced to another level when you are.

-- Age 33,

"I want to feel thrilled physically, emotionally and even spiritually."

    For me, sexual satisfaction is about a complete experience. I want to feel thrilled physically, emotionally and even spiritually. That doesn't mean that I've always felt that the act must result in or be a part of a committed relationship, though now that I'm married, it certainly does! I never feel fully satisfied by just focusing on the physical aspect of sex. I like feeling connected all the way around, and it starts long before any sexual acts occur. That's why it's so difficult for me to be "in the mood" by just some physical form of titillation. I need to feel eyes on my eyes, soul connected to my soul, mind riding my mind. I could never "get there" unless I felt a complete connection. I still need that with my husband, much to his chagrin on an occasional impromptu night-time flurry of physical, um, request. When that happens, I feel fully satisfied.

-- Age 35,

"It's a lot about being good to yourself and doing what you need to take care of your body, physically and sexually."

     For me, sexual satisfaction is being able to get to "that point" (preferably along with your partner) and feel good about yourself and your partner. If there's any regret later on, it's not satisfaction. I think a lot of it has to do, also, with being able to get short term satisfaction on a long-term basis. Knowing that you're going to get to "that point" again in the future when you want or need it goes a long way to make you feel sexually satisfied with your life as a whole. I think really it's a lot about being good to yourself and doing what you need to take care of your body, physically and sexually. And there's also a nice bonus when you can help someone else take care of themselves, too.

"I need some emotional compatibility with my partner."

     My own definition of "sexual satisfaction" is to have some sort of connection to the one I have sexual relations or intimate moments with. I need some emotional compatibility with my partner so that we can have that deeper connection during our intimate moments in order to feel the passion between us. The passion we both experience satisfies me deeper than any orgasm ever could and brings us into a deeper relationship together.

-- Age 20,

WooooW!!!!!!! Infomative right?? Thats exactly what i thought while writing this blog if it was helpful in anyway pls do comment 

Nigerian Female Billionaire, Folorunsho Alakija, Defeats Oprah Winfrey To Become Richest Black Woman In The World

   Move over Oprah, Nigerian oil tycoon Folorunsho Alakija is now the richest black woman in the world with an estimated fortune of $7.3 billion.

Africa boasts of 55 billionaires - far more than previously thought - and they're worth a staggering $143.88 billion in total, according to pan-African magazine Ventures Africa.

  

Starting her career as a secretary in a bank in the mid 1970s, Alakija, 62, then studied fashion in London and returned to Nigeria to start a label, Supreme Stitches. But her biggest break came in oil.

In 1993, her company, Famfa Oil, was awarded an oil prospecting license, which later became OML 127, one of the country's most prolific oil blocks, by then-president Ibrahim Babangida.

The company owned a 60 per cent stake in the block until 2000 when the Nigerian government unconstitutionally acquired a 50 per cent interest without duly compensating Alakija or Famda Oil.

In May 2012, Alakija, a married mother-of-four, challenged the acquisition and the Nigerian Supreme Court reinstated the 50 per cent stake to her company.

She also has a charity called the Rose of Sharon foundation that helps widows and orphans by empowering them through scholarships and business grants.

Forbes magazine had estimated Alakija's fortune at $600 million, as of November 2012, but the magazine's editor-in-chief Uzodinma Iweala said his researchers were 'closer to the ground.'

They noted that Brazilian oil company, Petrobas, was looking to sell its 8 per cent stake in OML 127 for $1.5- $2.5 billion, and extrapolated that if they managed to sell it for $1 billion, Alakija's 60 per cent stake would be worth at least $7.3 billion.

Iweala claims this and other estimates included in the report are actually 'on the conservative side' and said the magazine expect to unearth more African billionaires shortly.

The overall richest African is Nigerian manufacturer Aliko Dangote who is worth $20.2 billion. Twenty Nigerians are listed in total.

According to Forbes, Oprah Winfrey is worth $2.9 billion.

Kim Kardashian's Mother, Kris Jenner And Husband Bruce Jenner, Separate

   The parents hovering at the top of the Kardashian Clan are learning to live their lives apart.

While Kim and Kanye are dodging cameras and Khloe and Lamar are fighting off drug abuse and separation allegations, the parents hovering at the top of the Kardashian Clan are learning to live their lives apart.

According to E! News, after 22 years of marriage Bruce and Kris Jenner are officially separated.

"We are living separately and we are much happier this way," the pair exclusively tell E! News.

"But we will always have much love and respect for each other. Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority."

Kris and Bruce are parents to two children together, Kendall and Kylie, and each have four kids from previous marriages

ASUU Strike 'Celebrates' 100 Days: Parents, Students, Stakeholders Complain

  The strike action embarked upon by the members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has entered its 100th day.

    Millions of students, including those undertaking postgraduate programmes have been idling away at home for one hundred days.

    The failure of the Federal Government to fulfil resolutions reached with ASUU in 2009 and non-payment of accumulated earned allowances owed the university lecturers are yet to be addressed.

    The face-off took a turn for the worse with members of the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) threatening to join the strike by shutting down primary and secondary schools in the country in solidarity with ASUU.

   However, President Goodluck Jonathan, during a recent media chat, said that the lingering strike has political undertone.

    Thousands of concerned parents bemoaned the length of the strike and the negative effect it has had on students.

    Among the affected students, LEADERSHIP discovered that there was a general air of gloom and anger directed towards the Federal Government and ASUU. The students express their disappointment that their suffering was not considered at all.
  
    "This has been 100 days of absolute shame. It is perhaps the highest mark of irresponsibility that the said leaders of tomorrow would be allowed to waste away like this while our counterparts in other countries and private universities leave us in the dust," a fresh graduate awaiting NYSC mobilisation said.

   The ongoing strike affected business owners as well. LEADERSHIP caught up with some traders in Gwagwalada, Abuja, and it's a collective tale of woe and worry. Their losses have consistently piled up since the strike commenced three months ago and many of them have been forced to find alternative means of making ends meet.

ASUU: FG Faults VCs over N35b Un-accessed Funds

    As the nation's tertiary education remains grounded, the Federal Government has blamed the university management for not accessing over N35 billion due to them from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund).

    Speaking at a meeting with pro-chancellors/vice chancellors of federal and state universities on October 8, 2013, Tuesday, in Abuja, the supervising minister of education, Barr. Nyesom Wike, said as at June ending, about N73.87 billion which should be disbursed to universities is still lying idle due to one reason or the other.

    Wike disclosed that, out of the said amount, N35b representing 47 per cent is due to varsities. Funds un-accessed by polytechnics are estimated at N16b (21 per cent) while colleges of education has N12b (16 per cent) yet to be accessed.

   The minister wondered why the institutions would cry that they lack adequate funding while there are released funds by TETFund running into billions of naira still waiting to be accessed.

   Meanwhile, the Committee of Vice-chancellors have blamed the federal government for the inability to utilise the interventions, arguing that there are various difficult conditions attached to the disbursements which prevented them from accessing the funds.

    Wike disclosed that about 21 were yet to utilise their interventions. These include the universities of Benin, N1.6b; Ibadan, N2.7b; Ahmadu Bello University, N2.2b; Maiduguri N1.1 billion, UNN N2.8b, Tafawa Balewa N2b, Bayero University Kano N2.3b, Federal University of Technology Owerri N1.6b, Jos N3b, Port Harcourt N3b, Obafemi Awolowo N2b, Niger Delta University N2.2b.

   Others include: Usman dan Fodio University N2.8b, Anambra State University N4.1b, University of Markurdi N2.3b, Federal University of Technology Yola N2.8b, Kebbi State University N2.8b, University of Lagos N4.3b, University of Calabar N4.3b and Nigeria Defence Academy N472m.

   The minister said the institutions who defaulted in accessing their funds must give satisfactory answers or necessary sanctions await them.

   Earlier, the board chairman of TETFund, Dr. Musa Babayo, explained that funds can only be released to the varsities when they meet all the conditions.

Liverpool Moves Into Top Spot of The Premier League Table

     Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier League table with a comfortable 3-1 win over Crystal Palace at Anfield.

   Liverpool began in fine style taking the lead just 13-minutes in when Luis Suarez managed to sweep the ball home 12-yards despite being surrounded by defenders.

  Just moments later and Daniel Sturridge's kept up his brilliant start to the new season when firing home after turning Damien Delaney inside-out.

   The third, just before the break, was somewhat harsh on Palace as Dean Moxey was adjudged to have pulled Raheem Sterling back just inside the back and skipper Steven Gerrard made no mistake to slot him his 99th Premier League goal for Liverpool.

   Palace did improve after the break and they claimed a goal with 15-minutes left as Dwight Gayle flicked home Jose Campana's free-kick from close-range - but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation.

   The win takes Liverpool above Arsenal into top spot, whilst Palace remain second from bottom after their sixth defeat of the season.

22 Things You Should Know About Lagos

  You’re visiting Lagos, Nigeria for the first time ever? Or you haven’t explored Lagos the way you think you should? Here are 22 things you should know about Lagos. The most populous city in Africa.

TRAFFIC

1. Yeah Traffic is crazy but if you understand the traffic time table , you can go around Lagos when the roads are less busy.

2. If you are caught by LASTMA or Police breaking any traffic law, don’t waste time, don’t argue start bargaining.

3. Apart from food with expiry date, Items bought from hawkers in traffic are at buyer’s risk. Most of them are faulty, fake or stolen.

4. If you are not sure if a road is one-way, stop and ask.

NIGHT LIFE

5. If you want to hang out at night or go clubbing, go to Victoria Island, Ikoyi or Lekki. The experience is different from that of anywhere else on the  mainland.

6. Its cheaper to give a tout 200 naira each time you park your car at night than to start looking for the car after grooving at night.

HEAVEN OR GHETTO

7. Not everyone living on the Island is rich. There are ghettos on the island.

8. There is no PHCN in Lekki. Budget a lot for diesel and fuel if you are moving there.

9. Ajegunle has a few fine areas and most of the people living there are not touts.

BEACH

10. If you want to have fun at the beach (elegushi), go there in the evening but remember that half of the ladies there are out for business.

11. At least 1 person drowns every weekend at each beach. Don’t get too close to the water.

FOOD

12. Eating in a Buca aka Mama Put is better than eating in a fast food eatery. Mama Put will give good customer service and quality African dishes while the fast food gives poor service and extra calories.

13. Agege bread will not kill you, take it once in a while though.

14. Not all bottled water is safe, some sachet (pure water) are better than the bottle water.

BUS

15. A bus can take you anywhere a taxi will take you. All you need is to know your bus route and a few meters of trekking

16. Hold your bags, wallets and phones firmly while you enter a public bus and when you are inside the bus. The person sitting next to you may soon become the new owner of your valuables.

17. Always keep some change handy before you enter a public bus. This will save you a lot of grammar with the bus conductor and the possibility of losing your N1000 note.

18. Don’t answer touts or urchins walking around the airports or other public places it will cost you extra bucks if they help you sort something out.

GENERAL

19. Half of the goods sold in big shops at exorbitant prices are found in the market at cheaper rates. Most of these boutiques buy from the local market or they buy from the same shop in UK during summer sales.

20. Smoking weed is legal in some joints for example somewhere at the beach, somewhere in lekki, somewhere in Maryland, somewhere in Surulere and somewhere in your area. All smokers are liable to die young but that’s if it applies to pot. I think weed smokers are liable to yaba left. Lol

21. All hotels are fully booked on Friday nights.

22. If you can make it in Lagos, you can make it anywhere else in the world apart from Syria.

   Rita Dominic is in london and who better to link up with than Chelsea and Super Eagles midfielder Mikel Obi. Both of them hooked up for dinner and had to take a pic afterwards.

REVEALED: Real Reason Why Federal Government Does Not Want ASUU Strike To End

    Nigerian universities have been buffeted with agonising months of strikes for over a decade and until now, the story is pretty much the same. Government is still unwilling to give the education sector a shot in the arm.
Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has been on strike since June 30 and has dialogued with FG over 11 times, albeit, inconclusively.

    This underscores the lukewarm posture of government towards the striking lecturers and from ASUU's body language and utterances, they have made it abundantly clear to anyone who cares to listen that they are ready to continue the strike even if it takes years, insisting that their decision was adequately taken in a bid to revitalise Nigerian universities.

    The bone of contention is lucid in itself. An agreement was reached in 2009 that all federal universities would require a total sum of N1.5 trillion spread over three years (2009-2011) to address the rot and decay in the universities.

    But, in the Memorandum of Understanding, MoU, signed between the union and the government in 2012, FG decided to extend the gesture to include both federal and state universities. After the 2012 review, it was agreed that instead of N1.5 trillion, FG would infuse a total of N1.3 trillion into the universities over four years.

    Almost four years down the line, FG has refused to fulfill its end of the bargain. Rather than respond to the issues raised by the union that would ensure quick resolution to the imbroglio, government boycotted ASUU to summon a meeting with Pro-Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors of universities, offering them N130 billion with a matching order to lecturers to resume work immediately.

    But the union is insisting that by throwing money at universities in that manner, government has repudiated the 2009 agreement it entered freely with the union and the 2012 MoU. ASUU is not making any fresh demand but has maintained that the 2009 agreement must be honoured.

    It is ridiculous that government officials were quoted as saying ASUU's N1.3 trillion demand is capable of shutting down the country. No. Their insatiable and rapacious greed will.
    The private jets in the presidential fleet can fly, centenary celebrations is a priority to government, there's enough money to pay humongous salaries and allowances to federal legislators and other political office holders, enough to forfeit to oil subsidy thieves, enough to pay militants bogus amnesty cheques and phantom contracts while they continue to bunker our crude oil like never before, there's enough money to beg Boko Haram to accept amnesty but there is no money for law abiding Nigerian students who want to eke out a living using university education as a stepping stone. It is this kind of attitude from the government that provokes the use of brute force by some regional groups to attract government's attention to their problems.

    Government cannot claim it has no money to fulfill this agreement. A country with 109 senators earning about N19.6 billion a year, while N51.8 billion is spent on members of House of Representatives for the same period, totaling N71.4 billion.
This sum, N71.4 billion, represents 17.8 per cent of the N400bn yearly intervention fund recommended by the Committee on Needs Assessment of Nigerian Universities. Surely, our lecturers and universities where they were trained deserve more.

    When we talk of heath care, government official and the ruling elite go abroad for medical attention; we talk of bad roads, they fly private jets; we talk of power, they run their homes on 24-7 alternative electricity source; now we're talking Education, their wards are in some of the best universities abroad. There is no way the myriad of problems bedeviling the country can be tackled if the political elite don't feel the pangs.
That Mr. President has taken out time from his 'busy' schedule to constantly parley with the warring factions of his party, PDP, but has never sat down with ASUU members to chart a course for Nigeria's leaders of tomorrow clearly shows his priorities. Party affairs and chasing perceived enemies of his 2015 ambition around with apparatus of state are far more important things than bending over backwards to pander to the demands of the striking lecturers.

     But then, government must take into cognisance the fact that, the longer the students remain at home, chances are that they will be lured into social vices. The aftermath can be disastrous for the state.
     There are misplaced calls in some quarters for ASUU to be 'reasonable', accept FG's offer and return to classrooms. Others lambast them for being self-centered and unpatriotic. It is unfortunate that Nigerians are always looking for quick fix solutions to monumental problems. Less endowed countries like Ghana, Botswana and Angola are making giant strides on all fronts because the citizenry have at one point or the other insisted that the needful be done. Here, anything thrown at us is accepted with glee.
We must get our priorities right as a country. Government must curb its own excesses. Education must be given the attention it deserves. Education of the citizenry should not be subjected to any form of Negotiation. Negotiating the education of our leaders of tomorrow is more or less negotiating the future of the country.

     Government deliberately wants the strike to linger, first, to blackmail the opposition. There have been several unsavoury comments from the government's divide of the negotiation table that ASUU has been infiltrated by moles from the opposition, alleging that the strike has lingered to gain political capital. That is how low this government can stoop. We have seen it before. It is an irresponsible and shameless government, one that lacks integrity and honesty that will blame the opposition for all its woes. It is unbecoming for the government of the day to continue to heap its failure on the doorstep of the opposition and ASUU strike is just another avenue to paint the opposition black before the public.

    Secondly, is to send a strong signal to other unions who might be contemplating similar action to have a rethink. Perhaps, government thinks by acceding to ASUU's demands, other Labour unions might toe the same path at the slightest excuse.
Third, the ultimate aim of government is to paint a bad image of the association to Nigerians, at least, for as long as the strike persists. The Governor Gabriel Suswan-led NEEDS Report Implementation Committee mediating on behalf of the government has unfortunately taken a position that is false, dishonest, and calculated to misinform the public and cause disaffection towards the union.
     Rather than seek cheap popularity, Governor Suswan and the rest of the FG team should tow the part of honour by asking
President Goodluck Jonathan to honour the 2009 agreement. There's no basis for turning the heat on ASUU and the campaign of calumny.

    It calls for worry, that same government that has always maintained that 'our graduates are unemployable' and our universities churn out 'half-baked graduates' find it difficult to commit the much needed funds to revamp the universities.
