Posted in: , ,

It is so aggravating when the people you think would know better continue to act against any sense of propriety. Femi Fani Kayode shared a picture of a half nude lady in a bathroom on his blackberry display picture with the caption; "Lessons for today- buy fresh pampers for your shitting father and stop trying to teach your elders and betters any life lessons. A pig with lipstick is still a pig."

Couple Love - Banky W and Andrea Manuela

Posted in: , ,

The news began to filter out some months ago that Banky W now had a lady in his life. For some of us crushers, our hearts throbbed, happy for him and at the same time, wanting to scratch someone's eyes out. The lady is Andrea Manuela Giaccaglia and she looks nice enough that you don't want to do that to her. Banky W stepped out with Andrea at the Chivas Top 100 Men in Nigeria. They look great together and I wish them the best!

Posted in: ,

I was so exhausted from the whole day that since it was Friday and Tunmi couldn’t go to school because of her cut, I decided to take the day off and rest. By 8:30, the house was empty, it was just Tunmi and I in the house and she was still sleeping. I took a quick shower and started the laundry so I could go back to bed. As I lay in bed, I couldn’t help but think about Malaysia.

I’m Almost Fed up with Nigerian Politicians, and Here’s Why

Watching this video, I could literally feel my skin crawling. Are these grown men or squabbling touts? Touts may be better even, considering that these men probably are educated and are well dressed. Goes to show how superficial such things are, and we use them to elect people to govern the rest of the country. The only reason I put "almost" in that title is because someone had the mind to record a video and air it. At least.

How to Cook Asparagus in a Gizzard and Tomato Sauce

Posted in: , , ,

Asparagus is becoming one of my favorite vegetables, though I feel guilty sometimes when I use them in my own recipes. I just feel like I should only use asparagus in the classic recipes like asparagus stuffed chicken, or asparagus wrapped in bacon, that sort of thing.

Melvin Is Up For Eviction - Please Save Him

Posted in: , ,

As some of you may know, my favorite to win the Big Brother Africa game this year is Melvin. Read this post to know why. For this weeks nomination, however, Melvin who is Head of House Diamond, decided not to save himself. Though he hasn't given any solid reason why he did that, I think he was just being nice, as he really is BTW. So he's up for eviction with Selly, Pokello, Natasha, Annabel, and Cleo. I think he has good chances. For those watching and voting, please show Melvin love and keep him in.
