Real Love Story - A Romantic Liaison Mediated By Her Uncle

HOW DID YOU MEET EACH OTHER?

Chinwe: One day in May 2010, an uncle - my maternal aunt’s husband - called to say he had a surprise for me. Expectedly I was excited although I didn’t have a clue what the surprise could be. He then said something like, “There’s a handsome, nice, God-fearing etc etc young man here that I think you’d love to meet. He’ll make a great husband.” What??? I couldn’t believe he said that! He didn’t even ask if I was in a relationship or something. I believe in meeting guys myself (especially Mr Right!) and I totally detest third party-mediated romantic liaisons.

Magazine Covers - Azeezat on House of Maliq

It was a double cover, with Yvonne Nelson on one side, and Azeezat on the other. I prefer Azeezat's, she has such a unique face, and I'm loving the hair too.

Date Ideas - The Incorruptible Judge - A Play

Who remembers this stage play? One of the funniest plays I've ever read and at the same time it had a very upstanding message against corruption one that has stayed with me all this while. The play is being staged at Terra Kulture today and tomorrow.

Jayso & Sarkodie feat. Efya - I'm In Love With Your Girlfriend

This music video is subtitled, The Movie, and it shows. It has a story complete with a twist. I loved the concept though there were a few loose ends in the story telling. The song however is quite well done.

Photos - Patience Ozokwor Attends Son's Wedding in London

Actress Patience Ozokwor was an epitome of the proud and happy mama as her first son, Uchendu Ozokwor, had his wedding ceremony, both white and traditional in London last Saturday.

Not our Property - Will Smith on Fatherhood

In this interview promoting After Earth, another film they both star in,Will Smith expands of what he sees in the future for his son, Jaden Smith, teaching him how to hunt, as opposed to simply giving him fish, and hoping to build a dynasty. I think he's being a great example of a father that a lot of African American sons need in their lives. I hope the children are just as successful as the father, I'm a big fan.

Dear Myne - Should I Date his Friend?

Hey Myne, So I usually agree with majority of the comments that your readers leave with relationship advice. So I thought maybe they could help me with recent matter I am dealing with.

So I have been talking to this guy called “B” for little over a year.  In B’s past relationships it appears as if women have always pressed him about getting married. Thus earlier in our dating history B would always drop sly remarks about not being ready for marriage.  Oddly enough, I do not remember ever bringing up the topic of marriage. Nevertheless, I am of age so I guess he could sense that sooner or later we would have to cross that bridge.

On Melvin Oduah Repping Nigeria in Big Brother Africa 2013

How many people are watching the Big Brother Africa which started yesterday? I am.

Surprised? LOL... don't be. Not only am I visiting a cousin who is a huge fan of the franchise, it turns out that one of the people representing Nigeria is my homeboy, from the same village as I am in Asaba. My cousin knows him personally as they've been family friends for years, and I've met him a couple of times, first time being when he was still a pimply teenager. Now he's a fine boy no pimples :)

So if you're watching and voting, please help to keep Melvin in the game till the very end. He is a very cool and down to earth person as his bio below on the BBA website shows. And I promise to bring my own portion of that $300,000 prize money and share it here, lol...
