Sister Narrates How Kidnapped Girls Returned Untouched and Unhurt 10 Days After

Ejura and Unekwu Opaluwa were abducted by five gunmen on the 8 June from their house in Karmo, Abuja. The gunmen had carried out a robbery attack on the family and were said to be dissatisfied with the amount of money found and thus abducted the girls. Their abductors had first asked for a N200 million ransom but they later called the family and reduced it to N150 million.

The news of the return of the girls, 23-year-old Ejura Opaluwa and 19-year-old Unekwu Opaluwa, was announced by the family on Tuesday. The girls were said to have been abandoned by their captors at a location from where they found their way home on Tuesday.

An uncle of the abducted sisters, Amadi Opaluwa, who made the news did not disclose whether the family paid ransom in the amount of N150m or not, he thanked God for safe return of the girls, and said the family intended to hold a press conference the following day.

Now the elder sister to Ejura and Unekwu, pictured with the girls above, has narrated on Facebook how the girls got home, thanking everyone for the prayers. Read her account below...

Shakira Says Marriage to Boyfriend Gerard Pique is Not on The Cards For Now

For some, marriage is not everything. Singer Shakira says she's in no rush to marry her soccer star boyfriend Gerard Pique, who plays defence for European team, Barcelona. Shakira insists that marriage won't enhance their relationship, but rather, their love will see them through.

The couple have been dating since 2010 and they welcomed their first child together, a son named Milan, last year. However, the singer is adamant walking down the aisle is not a priority.

"We already have what's essential, you know? We have a union, a love for each other, and a baby. "I think that those aspects of our relationship are already established, and marriage is not going to change them."

#SpainVsChile - Spain Out of The World Cup After Losing to Chile

Spain, the defending champions at the on-going world cup in Brazil have lost their second group match to Chile today, ending their run at the mundial.

The Spanish national team failed in their attempt to win a second successive World Cup after Chile defeated them with 2 goals to Nil. This means that the team  has been eliminated even though they still have one group game to play. With this defeat for Spain, they have become the third reigning champion to be knocked out in the group stage in the last four World Cups.

France dropped out at the same stage in 2002, with Italy going the same way in 2010. Brazil was the defending champions in 2006 World Cup, and only managed to make it to the Quarter-Finals. Seems like winning the World Cup is bad luck for the defending champions come the next time around.

Blue Ivy Wears a Little Crown on Her Bun For Outing With Jay Z and Beyonce

Jay Z was spotted carrying little Blue Ivy on Father's Day on an outing with Beyoncé at the Domino Sugar Factory in New York City, and as you can see, Blue Ivy’s hair is neatly styled in a bun.

I don't for a moment think the public petition to comb their daughter’s hair had anything to do with Beyonce and Jay Z deciding to put her hair in a bun. In fact, this not the first time we’ve seen Blue Ivy with a different hair style.

But it’s certainly cute to see that little crown on top of her bun, a queenly message to the bad belle people, maybe? Or Blue Ivy's a diva, just like her mother :)

See more pictures below with some older shots of Blue Ivy with her hair in a bun.

Destiny’s Child Back Together in Music Video for “Say Yes” + Behind The Scenes

Michelle Williams has just premiered the video for her gospel song “Say Yes” which features she and her fellow Destiny’s Child members Kelly Rowland and Beyoncé. The song is from her forthcoming Journey to Freedom album and was premiered on ABC this morning. Each of the ladies has a vocal solo in the song, with Beyonce rocking her thigh-length braids.

Michelle had previously stated that the song is inspired by the gospel chorus from Nigeria. Remember the song - When Jesus Says Yes? That one. If you don't remember, you'll cetainly be reminded once you watch the video.

What I find interestting is that many are surprised to see Beyonce singing Gospel, do people really take those Illuminati talk seriously?

See the Say Yes video below, and also check out the behind the scenes moments - see Blue Ivy dancing, Kelly Rowland's baby bump and more...
