“Sometimes you have to disconnect to stay connected. Remember the old days when you had eye contact during a conversation? When everyone wasn’t looking down at a device in their hands? We’ve become so focused on that tiny screen that we forget the big picture, the people right in front of us.

Going back into the BBN house was no doubt, a blessing and a curse. Lets get this straight; It’s not about going around trying to stir up trouble. As long as I’m honest and I articulate what i believe to be true, somebody somewhere will become my enemy whether they like it or not.

I saw something in @ceec_official that I hadn’t seen previously and my whole ideology of “Setting her straight” was to take her out of her “lone ranger” phase and encourage her to mix. Guess what? I gained a friend. I never hated on @alex_unusual ;she represents an embodiment of my early years. The Alex-figure takes me down memory lane and I reminisce on how “expressive and all over the place” I used to be. I only disliked a trait in her and not the totality of her essence. I spread love, not hate.

As for @miracleikechukwu , Common! I was disqualified from the show, sent home and I got to appreciate the overpowering love and support from his fans. Why would I hate on a guy and have his myriad of supporters hate me too? I only expressed the fact that fame & fortune changes people and it did look like Miracle will shift from his behavioural pattern in d BBN house to somebody else. But then, who am I to judge?

It’s okay to disagree with the thoughts or opinions expressed by other people. That doesn’t give you the right to deny any sense they might make. Nor does it give you a right to accuse someone of poorly expressing their beliefs just because you don’t like what they are saying. Learn to recognize good writing …

Former U.S. First Lady Barbara Bush has died on Tuesday evening at the age of 92, after a series of recent hospitalisation, Spokesman for the family, Jim McGrath, said.

Former President George W. Bush, in a statement on Tuesday night, described his mother as a “fabulous First Lady”.

“My dear mother has passed on at age 92. Laura, Barbara, Jenna, and I are sad, but our souls are settled because we know hers was.

“Barbara Bush was a fabulous First Lady and a woman unlike any other who brought levity, love, and literacy to millions.

“To us, she was so much more. Mom kept us on our toes and kept us laughing until the end. I’m a lucky man that Barbara Bush was my mother,” he said.

Big Brother Naija housemates, Tobi has gifted fellow housemate & gossip partner Alex a gold bracelet his father gave to him.

While Alex was talking with Lolu, who was telling her that he’s noticed how deeply she’s fallen for Tobi, Tobi came to join them and upon seeing the bracelet, she asked that the gentleman give her.

Before he then gave her the bracelet, he explained to her that it was given to him by his father. After he gave it to her, he disclaimed that him gifting her with the accessory doesn’t come with any strings.

The gentleman also promised to give her an iPhone and a car once they leave the Big Brother house. With this gestures he’s been making towards her, it’s hard to say that Alex isn’t genuinely falling for him.…

Just days after a cheating scandal broke, the youngest Kardashian sister and troubled boyfriend Tristan Thompson welcomed a baby girl on Thursday.

Khloé arrived at the Hillcrest Hospital near Cleveland on Wednesday night with mom Kris Jenner and sister Kim Kardashian. The Blast reported that the new mom was given extra security, with a security officer assigned to stand guard outside her room.

The birth comes after it was revealed that Tristan, 27, spent the night in a hotel room with strip club bartender Lani Blair in New York City last weekend while Khloé, 33, was holed up in Cleveland.

An insider told us when Khloé heard the cheating news, she went off the rails, adding that the reality star “was devastated when she saw the pictures of Tristan with that girl, she went absolutely ballistic at him. She is not only hurt, she is humiliated and worried for their child. How could he do this, and so publicly, when their baby daughter could arrive within a week?”

Video also circulated online of Tristan apparently canoodling with the brunette as they also partied at NYC rooftop hotspot PH-D on Saturday, before they headed to Soho House, in which he puts his hoodie up and appears to kiss the Khloé look-alike.

This is Khloé’s first child and Tristan’s second. The NBA star has a son, Prince Oliver, with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig. Prince turned 1 in December.

She first confirmed she was expecting in December with a black-and-white photo of her growing belly.

“My greatest dream realized! We are having a baby!” she wrote on Instagram.

She went on to praise Tristan, saying, “Thank you for treating me like a Queen! Thank you for making me feel beautiful at all stages! Tristan, most of all, thank you for making me a MOMMY!!”

It’s unclear if she still feels the same way.

Khloé’s desire to have a child was something she often talked about — especially during her “toxic” seven-year marriage to former NBA player and recovering addict Lamar Odom.

Imagine having your final year exam and wedding day on the same day. Which would you choose?

Two Nigerian brides were forced to make a tough decision last weekend when they left their wedding receptions to sit their final year exam, dressed in their wedding finery.

The two final year students, who study Mass Communication, hastily said their “I dos” to their grooms before heading to an exam hall because of a date clash.

Dorcas Atsea and Deborah Atoh had fixed their wedding dates when the exam, originally scheduled for February, was postponed due to inadequate facilities at the Benue State University in Nigeria’s Middle Belt region.

When the new dates were announced, the final year “Media Ethics and Law” exam clashed with the dates both women had chosen for their weddings.

“My wedding was already fixed and planned before the exam,” Atsea told CNN. “I attempted to shift the exam, but to no avail.”

“I went to the exam officer, she said I should choose between the two: the exam or the wedding,” Atoh said.

The big day

The two students were sitting an exam in “Media Ethics and Law.”

“My wedding was already fixed and I already told people it was April 7 and sent out invitations, we decided not to change the date,” Atoh said.

The plan: take the marital vows at the church early in the day, dash into the university for the exam at noon, dash off again for the wedding reception.

They said the exam turned into an atmosphere for celebration.

“I was excited graduating and wedding at the same time. My classmates were so happy,” Atsea said.

“When I walked into the hall, for ten minutes everybody was just shouting before we started the exam and after the exam, I went back to the reception venue because my guests were waiting for me.”

Atoh said it was a memorable day for her. “When the church wedding ended by past 11am, I went to write the exam. When I got to school, my mates …

A Yaba Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Lagos on Wednesday remanded a Danish national, Peter Nielsen, who was suspected of killing his wife, Zainab Ali- Nielsen and their three-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Petra.

Chief Magistrate Kikelomo Ayeye remanded Nielsen, 53, in Ikoyi Prison, following an application by the police. Nielsen was docked on a two-count charge of unlawful killing.

Nielsen’s plea was not taken. He was represented by Frank Udoka Amah. Prosecuting counsel, Effiong Asuquo, tendered a three-page application, containing 15 grounds for Nielsen’s remand in prison.

He said:

“There is overwhelming forensic evidence linking the defendant to the assault and murder of his wife and daughter. Investigation has also shown that the defendant was habitually violent to his late wife, Zainab.”

According to Asuquo, a fight broke out between the couple in their flat at about 3:00 a.m. on that fateful day. Nielsen was allegedly seen fighting and hitting the deceased’s head on a wall by her two relations, Mimi, 11, and Faith, 13 who lived with them.

She died from injuries sustained from the assault. The prosecutor alleged that Nielsen then poisoned Petra before dragging her body into the kitchen.

Asuquo said:

“He took the lifeless little girl and put her under the mother’s body and then put on gas stove burners in the kitchen so that it will be believed that the wife and daughter were suffocated to death by the cooking gas.

It is in the national interest that the suspect remain in prison pending legal advice and his arraignment and trial.”

Chief Magistrate Ayeye upheld his prayer. She remanded Nielsen in prison and adjourned the case till May 8 for the DPP’s advice…
