Rihanna doesn't joke with her family ..While all her peers were at the BET Awards, she was with her daddy having dinner... In the past they were estranged after her Chris Brown assault He kinda did something that was really upsetting - he turned his back on me and went to the media and just got paid to talk about stuff.All these little interviews he was doing after the situation in February. I hadn't spoken to him and he was speaking as though we did (speak) and it was so disappointing to me. Nothing like father/daughter love..

It is common knowledge that many so called big girls today are only interested in a man when all is well with him and he can spoil them with money and expensive gifts. Once the man suffer any mishap, no matter the fact that it is temporary, they will run. And this is even more rampant among Nollywood babes. From latest information coming out in actress Uche Ogbodo's marriage break up saga, it appears she dumped her husband because the man is battling with some challenges. Uche had told SDK that the man lied to her and she even claimed that he never married her, adding "we did only introduction". But the man, who is based abroad, has just went through a brain surgery and he is still recovering. He almost cried when he heard all that the actress he married as his wife said about him. According to SDK, Ato, her now estranged husband, is presently recovering from brain surgery, his friends said his only mistake was falling in love with "a wrong woman" ...

They must really think our brains are indeed in our stomachs...o ga oh. 2015 election.... All we need is. .. God intervention.

Hello. Please I need urgent help from your readers.2 years ago I got dumped by my boyfriend and he left me for a very fair girl.That affected my self esteem and I decided to bleach my dark skin .I was hoping he would come back to me but he never did. After using creams, I was advised to take bleaching injection to lighten me from inside. They say it won't make me have black knuckles.The lady who took me there used to be as dark as Lupita but looked like Beyonce. I was advised to take 2 shots. After that I became so light skinned but wanted to be lighter and ended up taking up to 6.Now I'm so light that my old school mates can't recognize me.They didn't tell me I have to keep maintaining it over the years. When I got lighter, many men were chasing me and didn't know my yellow was bleaching yellow. Now, I met a man who I've been dating for 4 months and he really loves me and has proposed to marry me. Just last week, he was telling me how he hates...

If your loved one's eyes are turning green or they are showing resentment to your successes, you need to find the reason to it soon. It may be your behavior or attitude towards them. You might be flirting around a lot. Or maybe you're not able to devote ample time to them when they need you. Maybe your routine activities are sounding suspicious to them. Suspicions like these often lead to break-ups. But don't follow suit. - Engage into communication. - Talk it out with your partner. - Make them feel as secure as you can. - Reassure them that youíre the one made for them. - And there is nothing they need to be jealous or suspicious about.

Guys mess up. They can break our hearts, disappoint us, and even lie. I should know. Men have been screwing with me (and not in the good way) for years. My first boyfriend went on a weeklong vacation to Cuba and “forgot” to call me when he returned. Another boyfriend cheated on me with his ex. My last boyfriend gifted me with a nail tool kit for my birthday (how romantic). But not every offense is a deal breaker. Here, six slip-ups you should let go: He’s late on the first date. Yes, it’s infuriating — but you should learn the reason behind his tardiness before you kick him to the curb. Sometimes the traffic really is bad. His cell phone did die, or he was caught up at work. It happens, especially in a city as chaotic as New York. If he’s always late, however, ditch him. You don’t feel a spark. If you’re anything like me, you want to feel butterflies on a first date. Sometimes that spark isn’t instant. Give him ano...

South Africa's ranking as worst in the world for its maths and science education is "a state of emergency", the opposition has said. The Democratic Alliance called for a full skills audit of all maths, science and technology teachers. The World Economic Forum (WEF) report on information technology assessed the economies of 148 countries. But the government has rejected it, saying the findings were based on perceptions and not hard data. The World Economic Forum's The Global Information Technology Report assesses how ready countries are to exploit the opportunities offered by information and communications technology and how they can use it to improve conditions. For the overall quality of education, South Africa came 146th in the WEF ranking. While not all countries were surveyed, South Africa was ranked below Kenya, Nigeria and Zimbabwe. Annette Lovemore, shadow minister for basic education, said her government counterpart, Angie Motshekga, should ...

Social networking sites have great advantages alright but some relationships are dying because of excessive abusive and addiction to these social networking platforms. I am not only referring to cheating but excessive use/ addiction.. e.g Facebook,instagram,twitter,badoo.... Some couples have broken up due to one partners addiction to the social networking sites,some might be breaking up as you read this...... If you could.... If you had to.... If it was the only option.... Would you give up social networking for a healthy relationship? Heck,most of our parents are still married 50years on and they don't have social networking handles. Hmmmm what's your opinion?

I still do not understand the mentality of our Ghanaian Celebrities. Probably , I am just dazzled as to how SHALLOW some of these celebrities seem to be —and the way they continue to parade this shallow -ness . One thing is for sure , these celebrities have not learnt anything over the years and I think I have figured out why … People like Yvonne Nelson have told themselves that , people hate her and that is why they keep taking a cut at whatever she does , forgetting that, in fact, those taking a cut have something valuable hidden in the insults . Few minutes ago, Yvonne Nelson posted the above photo on Instagram which was sent to me by a reader …And the question is ; what is the meaning of this and what does she want to achieve by posting this? Yvonne Nelson has a damn degree— you know. And the fact that she continues to do this SHOCKS some of us. How much more shallow can a black woman be? How much is Versace and the others paying her f...

Chelsea have lodged a surprise €20m offer with Turkish giants Fenerbahce for Nigeria striker Emmanuel Emenike and are ready to wrap a deal one of Europe’s most quickest, if not unpredictable forwards once the World Cup concludes. Emenike has spent less than 12 months with Fener after completing a late switch to Istanbul from Spartak Moscow last summer, but Turkish newspaper Fanatik is reported by the Metro to believe that Chelsea are chasing fresh strike cover in a move that has come completely out of the blue. Marcos Rojo of Argentina goes for a header against Emmanuel Emenike of Nigeria during the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil Group F match between Nigeria and Argentina at Estadio Beira-Rio on June 25, 2014 in Porto Alegre, Brazil. (FIFA) Jose Mourinho still views Atletico Madrid marksman Diego Costa as his number one strike star for next season, with today’s shock move for Emenike completely independent of that long-awaited deal, which is still expect...

Saturday June 7, 2014, will remain the happiest day in the life of Mercy James as that was the day she miraculously gave birth to a baby girl after 14 years of being pregnant. The baby was promptly and aptly christined Miracle. And why not? If the mother had delivered at the expected time the child would have been a teenager by now and possibly in secondary school at the JSS 3 level. Mercy, a single parent, said of her ordeal during the 14 years she was pregnant but could not give birth: “When I first took in, I knew that I was pregnant with signs and test that confirmed that I was. Four months later, I went to hospital for another test, the result showed that I wasn’t pregnant, but had fibroid. Subsequently, I began to experience bleeding, at least once a day. Sometimes, my tummy would protrude in the semblance of pregnancy. I went to different hospitals, and I kept on receiving the same result that nothing was wrong with me. But deep down inside , I ...

They will play no part in Ghana's must-win last Group G match against Portugal in Brasilia on Thursday.

There are best friends and there are BFFs, yea you read that right.

Reading through a popular Ghanaian blog I found this interesting piece comparing Davido and Wizkid. Some i agree and some I disagree. Musically, there have been some comparison and competition between the two stars because they are the two young boys under 25 running the entire music scene in Africa but Ghanaians have made their choices and gave reasons for choosing Davido over Wizkid. Who do you think Nigerians will prefer?...Davido or Wizkid?...Let’s see the 5 reasons why Ghanaians will choose Davido over Wizkid any day. ARROGANCE – WIZKID Wizkid, from what we know, he came from a middle class family but he acts like he’s been living the life of gold already. He’s been making dumb comments to his fans who made him. He once said “when broke people think they have a say” to a fan who inquired about his next album. These same fans made him and just like a typical African star, arrogance will surely kill him. We’ve heard b...

NBC News starts its report by asking.....''Haven't heard of Adokiye? Well, soon you will have. Either because she's a rising Nigerian pop star who looks like this: Or because she's a virgin. In a recent interview with Showtime, 23-year- old Adokiye surprised everyone by confessing that she's a virgin. What's more, she said she would give up her virginity i n return for the release of the more than 200 girls Boko Haram kidnapped in mid- April. “This is 11 p.m. in the night and do you know what I am thinking about? Those little girls, where they are and what could be happening to them. It is just unfair. They are too young. I wish I could offer myself in exchange,” she told Showtime. “They are between 12 and 15 year old girls for Christ sake. I am older and more experienced. Even if 10 to 12 men have to take me every night, I don’t care. Just release these girls and let them go back to their parents.” Of course she also said, in the sa...

Pictures have emerged of Luis Suarez apparently attempting to bite the shoulder of Italian defender Giorgio Chiellini a year before their latest clash. The ugly incident came during a Confederations Cup clash between Italy and Uruguay 12 months ago, which saw Chiellini square up to Suarez in disgust. Suárez is now facing a two year ban after appearing to find his man with a bite during yesterday's game between the two nations.
