Posted in: , ,

The edgy look seems to be in right now, and Keira Knightley is renowned photographer, Patrick Demarchelier's muse in the new issue of Interview magazine.

It Makes No Sense! Boy's Hilarously Smart Reaction To His Mom's Pregnancy Goes Viral

Posted in: , ,

A little boy was not so happy when his mom told him she was expecting another child. While his baby sister sucked away at her pacifier, the boy ranted about the pregnancy announcement being "exasperating", more children being "too much!" and how it makes no sense to him.

Out of the mouths of babes, eh? LOL...

You just have to watch this. Who else has seen a boy this smart mouthed?

#YesWeTan: Obama Wears Tan Suit To Press Conference, Sparks Twitter Craze

Posted in: , ,

President Obama was making serious comments yesterday about the threat that the Islamic State terrorist group poses, but social media, and especially Twitter was more obsessed with his tan suit.

Obama has worn that suit before, once on a visit to church on Easter Sunday, but his typical work-a-day suits are more dark-colored. I guess it didn't also help that after his 2-week vacation, the president is looking more tan than usual.

The explosion of tweets about Obama's tan suit seemed very contrary to the usual way people respond to male politicians or public figures in general. Usually, it is women that face this kind of commentary, the most recent case in point being Hillary Clinton when she ran for president, and even as Secretary of State.

Funny enough, the suit now has its own parody account with the twitter handle @BarackTanSuit.

The White House response: "He loves that suit." Yes, we do too.

See Obama wearing that suit with swagger at last year's Easter Service, and some of the Twitter commentary.

Resident Wants Ebola Index Case In Port Harcourt To Be Named And Hotel Quarantined

Posted in: , ,

We have discussed before whether Ebola infected or suspected cases should be named, and most say for legal and ethical reasons, it may be best not to. I think I agree. Before I continue, let us know this.

FACT! Ebola does not kill all in contact with infected persons. So far, the kill rate is 50% which is still not good, but let's not spread panic. 


I don't think it's necessary to name the ECOWAS staff who is the index case of Ebola in Port Harcourt, having been in contact with Patrick Sawyer, the Nigerian index case. I hear he/she is now Ebola free, he was treated and survived, unfortunately, the doctor who treated him contracted the disease and died.

Also, reputable news sources say the ECOWAS staff is being monitored in Lagos, if so, there is no need to release his name to PH residents.

But I agree that the hotel should be closed and cleaned up.

To all residents of PH, please do stay safe. Reduce your contact with crowds and strangers, wash your hands regularly and report anyone who you know is sick.

Below is an excerpt from the resident's mail to Ladun Liadi that spurred this post, as well as the full text of a TV broadcast by Rotimi Amaehi, the governor of Rivers State.

WATCH - The Terrible Conditions In Which Nigerian Immigrants Seek Asylum in South Africa

Posted in: , , ,

According to a South African immigration officer, about 1000 Nigerians besiege their office on a daily basis seeking asylum. Those who manage to get over there on temporary or fake papers never want to return despite the treatment from other South Africans and their government.

Why do Nigerians put themselves through this? I guess I shouldn't be asking this question. For millions of Nigerians, the country has failed them.

SaharaTV's crew went behind the scenes in South Africa to cover the plight of Nigerian immigrants seeking asylum under harsh conditions in Pretoria, South Africa.

Just Kendall - Kim Kardashian's Younger Sister Drops Her Famous Last Name

Posted in: ,


Many people believe the Kardashian-Jenner name is enough to open doors and opportunities for those who bear it, or those related to them. Rob Kardashian's former girlfriend spoke about it last month, and now, Kendall Jenner, the 18 year old model half-sister of Kim Kardashian has dropped her last name, also saying it is a drag on her career.

Now to be known simply by her first name, "Kendall", the upcoming model reflected this on her official modeling portfolio. Kendall had always talked about her last name not helping her get jobs and how being associated with the Kardashians made people not believe in her'.

She told Teen Vogue;

People didn’t want to take a chance on me, I think because I was sort of known. They were a little bit on the fence about it. Some people might think that what I’ve done before made it easier for me to get jobs, but it was actually a disadvantage. I had to work even harder.
