When Did You Learn that #LikeAGirl Was A Bad Thing?

Using #LikeAGirl as an insult is one of those little underhanded ways society keeps putting girls and women down and somehow, we never really think much about it.

However, it is indeed a hard knock against any adolescent girl. And since the rest of puberty's really no picnic either, it's easy to see what a huge impact it can have on a girl's self-confidence.

Sometimes I get scared about being potentially a mom to a little girl that I have to nurture to adulthood with her self-esteem intact when she will keep meeting all these bumps in the road. Remember Ban Bossy?

Watch the video and let's discuss. Do you do stuff like YOURSELF or you do it #LikeAGirl - the way society tells you?

T.I and Tiny Back Together? The Couple Attended BET Awards and Pre-Party Together

Rumors of divorce or at least a break-up have been trailing rapper T.I and his wife Tiny for months now after both had been noted subbing the other on social media. In many cases it has been T.I calling out his wife on pictures she posts on Instagram.

T.I also got into a street fight with Floyd Mayweather in Vegas last month [read here], and then a social media war with fellow rapper Azalea a couple of weeks ago [here].

Now, it seems T.I and Tiny have kissed and made up, and want to put the speculations of divorce to rest.

The couple were photographed sitting together at the BET Awards last night, and were also spotted cuddling up and holding hands at T.I.'s BET pre-show mansion party.

Nigeria Loses 2 - 0 to France And Thus Ends Our World Cup Journey

Captain, Joseph Yobo, scored an own goal during today's World Cup round of 16 soccer match between France and Nigeria. But his mistake at the final minute was just the nail in the coffin.

The Super Eagles had a goal ruled out for offside in the first half after Emmanuel Emenike scored the first goal of the match with a cross from Ahmed Musa. That first half belonged to Nigeria as France started slowly.

However, France finished strongly in the second half with their striker Paul Pogba scoring a late header from a corner kick that broke Nigeria's defence.

Oscar Pistorius Had No Mental Disorder When He Shot Girlfriend Reeva Steemkamp

A panel of psychiatrists has found that Oscar Pistorius did not suffer from any mental illness that impacted his ability to know right from wrong when he fatally shot his girlfriend.

Pistorius, a double-amputee Olympic sprinter, has spent a month as an outpatient at Weskoppies Psychiatric Hospital in Pretoria, South Africa, for a mental evaluation that the judge in his murder trial ordered.

The results state that Oscar Pistorius was able to understand the wrongfulness of what he had done, and appeared to remove the possibility that he could be declared not guilty because of a mental disorder. This would have meant that instead of prison for a guilty verdict, he would have been referred to a state psychiatric institute for care.

#HobbyLobby Wins Supreme Court Case Not to Insure Women's Contraception Against Their Faith

The US Supreme Court has ruled today, 5-4, that the government can't require certain "family owned and small business" employers to provide insurance coverage for methods of birth control and emergency contraception that conflict with their religious beliefs.

In a deeply divisive case pitting advocates of religious liberty against women’s right’s groups, the Supreme Court said today that two for profit corporations with sincerely held religious beliefs do not have to provide a full range of contraceptives at no cost to their employees pursuant to the Affordable Care Act.

In the case Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, the majority opinion was written by Justice Samuel Alito who insists that for purposes of the 1993 Religious Freedom Restoration Act, closely held corporations should be regarded as “persons” and have their religious freedoms upheld.

Annie Idibia Chats With Toolz About Husband Tuface, Motherhood, Career and Life

Annie Idibia the wife of 2Face Idibia, one of Africa's most decorated and successful artists, is on the hot seat this week, talking to Toolz about motherhood, career and love.

She gives us the juice on their movie-like first meeting, and the friendship and love that has endured through ups and downs. She said she is not fazed by the fact of his superstardom, but that when she wakes up beside him, all she can think of is 'Oh, I really love this boy'.

I like Toolz put her on the spot about why she said yes to 2Face even when had so many other women and children in his life, and her relationship with them all now.

The United States Reveals They Still Have No Idea Where Kidnapped Chibok Girls Are

The United States through Pentagon spokesman, Rear Admiral John Kirby, reportedly admitted that US troops in Nigeria have not found out where the abducted Chibok girls are.

“We don’t have any better idea today than we did before about where these girls are, but there’s been no letup of the effort itself,” Kirby said about the search for the over 200 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram.

He also said that the US troops had decreased their surveillance flights in Nigeria, but explained that the overall search levels were unchanged due to international involvement, as there are now more flights by other countries including UK and France.

The report insists the U.S  is unrelenting in efforts to locate and rescue the girls.

Daddy Time - Aliko Dangote and Daughters

Aliko Dangote is one of Africa’s most popular business men billionaires, but it's amazing how one never hears much about his family. 

Well, I was reading something and was so surprised when I saw this picture of Aliko Dangote with his daughter, Halima. The picture was taken back in May at the Nominee's Gala for the TIME’s most influential 100 people around the world.

Halima is Aliko’s second daughter, and it is reported that Aliko Dangote has only daughters, Zainab, Halima, Fatima and Salma.

Did Prince Harry Just Say Nephew Prince George Looks Like An Ugly Old Man?

OK, he didn't exactly put it that way. Prince Harry only said his nephew Prince George looks like a young Winston Churchill. It was during a radio interview that Harry was asked about his nephew and he responded;

'He's growing up, he is walking and he has big, chubby cheeks. He looks like a young Winston Churchill'.

Put like that, his comments are not so bad. Still, Winston Churchill was never known to be good looking. I can't help but think that George's mum Kate Middleton might not be so happy about the comparison. Doesn't every mom think their baby is the cutest?
