Aww! Poor Maradona!

"I may leave tomorrow. I'll have to think carefully about it and talk with my family and the players. There are many issues here," he said after their loss to Germany in a 4 - 0 encounter today.

Not even World-Class Lionel Messi, Carlos Tevez and Gonzalo Higuain could deliver Argentina fron the painful defeat they suffered from the Germans on the pitch.

Maradona was left dejected by the failure of his team.
Like he said earlier before the match... he wished he was right there on the pitch playing with them.

Cruel exit for the Blackstars; Africa's last team standing!

2010-07-02T15:47:00.000-07:00

Ghana's Asamoah Gyan is hidden by celebrating teammates after he scored their side's second goal.

The Black Stars came as close as a team could come to doing what no other African nation has ever done. But they will not be going to the semifinals of the biggest tournament in the world’s most popular sport.

Star striker Asamoah Gyan missed a penalty kick at the tail end of the second extra time period and Ghana lost on penalty kicks.

This was a real painful exit believe me, just a little mistake can cost a lot.

Match Facts:
Ghana could not convert key penalties - in the last minute of extra time or in the penalty shootout - to win the Ghana vs Uruguay game. Uruguay's La Celeste advances to the semifinal with the Netherlands.

Setting off the sophisticated design and central to the layout is the outline of a star, evocative of fame, showbiz and the classic Hollywood sense of lights, camera and acti

Exclusive: P-Square in N240M Contract with GLO

2010-07-02T04:00:00.000-07:00

Good days are still lurking in the corner for Star twins Peter and Paul Okoye as a knowledgeable sources has just disclosed that the Okoye brothers have signed up for a two-year endorsement deal with telecoms company Globacom.

The deal, which will last for four years in the first instance, is reportedly worth N240m.

A source who is familiar with the details says the pop twins have agreed to the terms already, and an official announcement will be made any time from now, barring any last minute changes.

Globacom Chairman Mike Adenuga is expected to give a final approval before final sign-off.

Sources say the telecoms company has been wooing Psquare since last year, when they first considered dropping their biggest music ambassador D’banj, following a disagreement that arose from the latter’s request for an increase in fees.

‘They considered replacing D’banj with Psquare or 9ice’ our source said.

Insiders at Glo confirm the company is adding Psquare to its list of ambassadors, but did not confirm if the popstars are replacing D’banj or not.

No immediate words from the Okoyes who are still in the US, honouring performance engagements. And a spokesperson for Globacom declined to comment.

Thumbs up Psquare!

However, the organizers of the pageant, TV3 only got across to her after the statement for a meeting which she declined – she would be passing her crown to the first runner up but she would keep the car and cash prize

Nasara replied by saying;
“If TV3 is taking the crown based on this absolutely false story, then they should as well take everything, the crown comes with the car, the Gh¢2000 cash prize and everything because there is no point having the car without the crown or anything else”.

Nigeria will serve as president of the security council for the month of July. Gabon served as president in March.

Like Father, Like Son? Micheal Jackson's son spotted revealing patches of white skin

2010-07-01T07:36:00.000-07:00

Speculations have been going on about the patches of white skin under the arm Micheal Jackson's son - Prince Michael.

The 13-year-old revealed this white patches under his arm while on a recent holiday to Hawaii with his siblins Paris,12 and Prince Michael II, 8.

It's no more news that Michael Jackson suffered from this said hereditary skin condition which discoloured his face and body.

For years, the paternity of Jackson's children has been under serious scrutiny mainly because of the difference in skin tone but a family source is quoted as telling a popular America tabloid that Prince Micheal's skin condition proves once and for all that The King of Pop fathered these children.

Prince Michael revealed patches of white skin under his arm while on holiday last week

Micheal Jackson's son pictured here with sister; there is speculation the 13-year-old is suffering from vitiligo

The late King of Pop blamed the rare condition for the gradual lightening of his own skin over the years

President Goodluck suspends Super Eagles for 2 years

2010-06-30T10:43:00.000-07:00

Nigeria President Goodluck Jonathan on Wednesday banned the country’s football team from international competition for two years following their dismal showing at the World Cup, his office said.

“President Goodluck Jonathan has directed that Nigeria withdraws from international competition for two years to enable the country to put its house in order,” spokesman Ima Niboro told reporters after a weekly cabinet meeting.

Nigeria finished bottom of their group in South Africa with just one point from three matches.

They lost to Argentina and Greece and drew with South Korea.

Rotimi Amaechi, governor of a key oil-producing state, Rivers, who heads a special presidential task force on the World Cup campaign, said Nigeria would write to football’s world governing body FIFA to explain its decision.

“We went to the World Cup and found all sorts of problems and we felt we should sit back and look inward,” said Amaechi.

Jonathan also ordered an audit into how the funds allocated for the team at the World Cup were used.

Tiger Woods and his estranged wife Elin reunite for daughter's birthday party

2010-06-30T04:47:00.000-07:00

Tiger Woods has not been seen in public with Elin Nordegren since the revelations that he cheated on her with up to 14 different women.

But Woods and his estranged wife temporarily put their differences aside for the sake of their daughter Sam as they belatedly celebrated her third birthday last Saturday.

Elin Nordegren, carrying their daughter Sam, arrived at the Florida clubhouse where they had Sam's party

Woods arrived carrying a Pink bag of treats for his daughter arrived seperately

It was the first time in several months that Woods and Nordegren have been seen in the same place.

Nordegren, 30, looked calm and collected in black and white top and leggings as she carried her daughter into the party.

But she couldn’t have been pleased when her 35-year-old estranged husband arrived late, not showing up until 4.55pm, almost an hour after the event’s 4pm start time.

Despite their show of unity, reports say that the pair were barely civil to each other at the bash, held at Cranium Clubhouse, which is near the couple's respective homes in Orlando, Florida.

He was accompanied by his office manager Kathy and another unidentified woman.

Senior Pastor, Household of God, Reverend Cris Okotie, yesterday declared his intention to contest the 2011 presidential election. The cleric, who would be contesting for the presidency for the third time, is seeking to actualize his ambition on the platform of the Fresh Democratic Party (PDP).

Okotie, who contested the 2003 and 2007 presidential elections and lost, said he was motivated to re-contest by a divine call to salvage the country from the “inept, corrupt and purposeless leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).”
He promised to restore the country to a path of growth, stability and security if elected president.

Ex MBGN, Munachi Abii signs on to RMG as a Solo Rap Artiste

2010-06-25T04:09:00.000-07:00

Munachi Abii, former beauty queen (MBGN 2007), signs to The RMG Company as a solo rap artiste. Over the last couple of years 'Muna' has expressed her intention to throw her tiara into the rap game, with appearances and features on songs by other artistes' like Banky W, Ikechukwu (Killz), Jesse Jagz and Waje. Now she has started recording her yet untitled debut album due out early next year and has just recorded a song called Pop Sugar with another RMG artiste Michael Word (the song is produced by Sarz).

Her rap style is so eclectic and 'free range' that many who only see her as a pretty face will be pleasantly surprised (or shocked). Muna (AKA "Baby Rella") will record her album with producers in Nigeria, the UK/Europe, and in the United States where she hopes to pursue her other entertainment interest as well.

I sincerely look forward to this...
Go RELLA!

Cheryl ditches Cole's surname

2010-06-24T07:31:00.000-07:00

I really hoped this hot Celebrity Couples will get over their differences, tackle them and get back together again but hey... its really not looking like it anymore as Cheryl has now officially dropped the surname 'Cole'.

The sexy singer was this week publicly referred to by her maiden name 'Tweedy' for the first time since she filed for divorce from football star Ashley Cole.

According to The Mirror, Simon Cowell introduced his fellow TV judge at last Tuesday's 'X Factor' auditions by saying: "Who would like to hear from Cheryl... Tweedy. It is, now, isn't it?"

His remark prompted the 2,500-strong audience at London's ExCeL centre to scream and cheer.

Not only has the 26-year-old Girls Aloud singer filed for divorce, she is also reportedly planning to have her 'Mrs C' tattoo removed from the back of her neck.

Changing her surname back to Tweedy could, however, turn out to be an even more difficult task for her record label, as the star released her first solo album under the name Cole…

Hmnn!

Yobo assures victory as the Super Eagles battles South Korea today

2010-06-22T00:10:00.000-07:00

The Super Eagles

"On Tuesday, everyone is ready to fight and die for the color of the country," said the Everton defender.
"We now have a possible mission towards the next round.
"When we walked off that pitch against Greece, we thought it was all over but now there is a second chance for us.
"Many people insist it will be impossible but we have been written off several times during the qualifiers, yet we made it."

The Super Eagles so far:

They lost 0-1 to Argentina and 1-2 to 2004 European Champion, Greece.
Though no team in The World Cup history has ever lost more than one group stage game and gone on to reach the next round,

A single-goal victory in the team’s final match against South Korea and even a single-goal loss for Greece against the table-topping Argentina would see Nigeria through on goal difference.

We wish them the very best today...

Ex-NDLEA boss bags 16-yr jail sentence

2010-06-22T00:05:00.000-07:00

Bello Lafiaji

Former Chairman of National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), Bello Lafiaji on Monday bagged 16-year imprisonment on a six-count charge of conspiracy and official corruption. He was jailed along with his Personal Assistant, Usman Amali, who is also to be behind bars for the next seven years.

However, Lafiaji would spend four years in prison since the sentence would run concurrently while Amali would spend two years. In the seven-count charge preferred against the duo by Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC), they were said to have in November 2005, conspired to unlawfully receive 164,300 euros from a suspected drug baron, Ikenna Onochie who was arrested for allegedly engaging in trafficking of heroin.

Onochie’s property including the money had been seized by the NDLEA. The money was said to have been collected to release him and his vehicles from custody.
Delivering the judgment, Justice Olusola Williams of the Lagos High Court sitting in Tafawa Balewa Square held that the former NDLEA boss had done well for the agency by raising its standards but he rubbished his reputation and career when he and Amali used their offices to enrich themselves.

FIRST NIGERIA WINE & SPIRIT FESTIVAL in Pictures

2010-06-19T16:31:00.000-07:00

The maiden edition of ‘Nigeria Wine & Spirit Festival’, organized by Spronks Creations Ltd was held in Lagos at The Lagoon Restaurant between the 4th and 6th of June.

The three-days Festival brought together wine makers, distillers, retailers and wine connoisseurs together and of course there were assortments of drink for all.

Hear the brain behind the project Aderonke Sobdu speak; “A lot of people have asked me why, since we do not belong to the wine and spirit producing regions of the world. I believe that you do not need to be, to organize a wine expo if you have reasonable consumption and enjoyment of it. This has been demonstrated by the penchant of Nigerians (to go) for quality wines and spirits. This qualifies us to organize the festival; not only to celebrate a great brand, but also to encourage and advance those qualities that accentuate gastronomic delight.

“We also want to create an avenue for local distillers, importers and sellers alike to interact with hoteliers and liqueur shops. The fall out is (our contribution to) promotion of tourism Nigeria, as every festival is an avenue to promote tourism.”

Over fourteen wine importing companies participated in the festival with the theme
‘From Vineyard to Bottle: The Great Tradition’.

Women Rise Against Yerima in Zamfara State

2010-06-19T07:34:00.000-07:00

Women, under the umbrella of Zamfara State Joint Youths Islamic Organisation, yesterday took to the streets of Gusau, the state capital, protesting against the child rights bill.

The protest followed the controversy surrounding the marriage of former Governor Ahmad Sani Yerima to an Egyptian minor.

Yarima’s action has been condemned by women rights organisations and other rights groups.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reported that the protesters, comprising school age girls and women, thronged the streets in a peaceful demonstration against Yerima’s chastisement..

They went to the state secretariat, Government House and House of Assembly, waving placards with inscriptions that condemned the child rights bill.

Some of the inscriptions read: "No to Zionism", "Islam is my religion" and "We reject child rights act".

The protest, scheduled to terminate at the House of Assembly, rounded up at the group’s secretariat, following the refusal of the Assembly to grant the protesters audience.

The group’s leader, Hajiya Safiaya Haidara, said: "The child rights bill is a contravention of Section 38 of the 1999 Constitution which grants every Nigerian right to practice his or her religion."

Safiya, who was represented by the secretary of Muslim Sisters’ Organisation, Hajiya Binta Mohammed, described the bill as an infringement on Muslims’ rights to practice their religion.

The President of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Mr. Iniobong Ememobong, yesterday said the body would sue Yerima for contravening the Child Rights Act.

Describing the ex-governor’s marriage to a minor as demeaning and embarrassing, Ememobong said: "Nigerian students will not rest until Yerima is made to face the law over his despicable action.

"We do not want him to portray Nigeria as a lawless country. A man of his status is not expected to marry the age mate of his granddaughter, no matter the urge."

We will win for KAITA: Super Eagles

2010-06-19T07:16:00.000-07:00

Sani Kaita has received the backing of his team mates, who have promised to beat South Korea for him, to ensure that he gets a chance to redeem himself at this World Cup.

Kaita is suffering a storm of harsh media backlash following his expulsion against Greece on Thursday.

That sending off had fatal consequences for the Super Eagles, as they not only surrendered their one goal lead, but also conceded a second that handed victory to the Greeks.

The team held a meeting at lunchtime on Friday, where Kaita apologised to the rest of the squad for letting them down and asked for forgiveness.

He was given hugs by everyone as the team told him to look past it, and promised him that they would win for him.

Captain Joseph Yobo said: "He is a young footballer who will learn from mistakes like this.

"He's been a solid performer for this team in recent years. It was a mistake, an expensive one but we only have to fight now for what is left to salvage here."

And goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, who once again emerged as the man of the match, said: "Kaita is still a reliable player and should not be left to suffer from this.

"Stuff like that happen sometimes. If you saw him in training and watched him in the World Cup you would see why I still think he should be forgiven."

Nigeria's Kalu Uche, who got his country in front also said: "We all felt let down on the pitch but once we walked off it, he was in our thoughts.

"No-one is blaming him for anything. He has been a magnificent player for his country and his die-hard performances have earned us success in the past, he will return a better man."

Nigeria face South Korea on Tuesday in Durban, needing a win to progress, provided Argentina beat Greece.

World Cup 2010 - Parents name baby girl 'FIFA'

2010-06-19T07:09:00.000-07:00

OMG!
I think this is ridiculous...

South African parents are celebrating the World Cup by giving their newborn babies unique names.

One baby girl was named 'FIFA' (all in capitals) after the sport's governing body, while another was called 'Ke Nako', a World Cup slogan that means 'it is time'.

FIFA Ntshinga was born at Rahima Moosa Hospital in Johannesburg, while baby boy Ke Nako was born to teenage mother Busiswa Landiso and her 21-year-old boyfriend Samuel Ntshiwa, who both are from Bloemfontein.

Another couple in Bloemfontein had twin boys during the opening match between South Africa and Mexico and decided to name their kids after the two teams playing.

Bafana (South Africa's nickname is Bafana-Bafana) and Mexico Venter were born during the 1-1 draw at Soccer City.

Their new dad, Charl (29) said: ''I'm giving them those names as a token of my willingness to know more about the game.

"My wife, Riana (26), and I knew in December that we would have twins but for them to be born on this day was a wonderful surprise."

Sassy's Opinion: I hope these babies would be Great Footballers when they grow up...rofl!

SPOTTED: Sean Connery!

2010-06-18T11:35:00.000-07:00

It's been almost five decades since he first appeared as James Bond.

While endless re-runs will immortalise him as the dashing 007, however, Sir Sean Connery looks somewhat less heroic in real life these days.

But the 79-year-old actor was still sprightly enough to perform a jig for the cameras as he arrived for the opening gala of the 64th Edinburgh International Film Festival in his native Scotland.

The star, who turns 80 in August, signed autographs and joked with fans who were lining the red carpet.

Sir Sean starred in six Bond films between 1962 and 1971, including Dr No and Goldfinger, before returning to the role for 1983's 'unofficial' 007 movie Never Say Never Again.

It was his role as the first of the big screen James Bonds that contributed to him once being named as the greatest living Scot and he was given a knighthood in July 2000.

In 1989 he was proclaimed the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine, and in 1999, at the age of 69, he was voted the Sexiest Man of the Century.
During his visit to Scotland, Sir Sean returned to the Edinburgh street where he was born to unveil a plaque on a new housing developmenT.

Porn actress files legal action demanding Tiger Woods undergo a paternity test

2010-06-18T10:56:00.000-07:00

A porn actress yesterday asked a U.S. judge to determine if Tiger Woods is the father of her child.

Devon James - the 14th mistress to be linked to the shamed golf star - says she had his love child aged just 19.

The former prostitute has now filed a legal claim against Woods demanding he undergo a paternity test.

James, 29, says Woods has refused to acknowledge that her nine-year-old son Austin T is his child - and that he owes thousands in unpaid child support.

She claims she told him about the child three years ago when Woods hired her and another woman for sex at £1,350 a night.

But Woods refused to meet his son, she claims.
Now she has asked a judge in Manatee County, Florida, to determine the paternity of Austin T.

James, who has made millions selling the story of her alleged sex with Woods, says the boy's middle initial is a tribute to his father.

2010-06-17T00:29:00.000-07:00

Commercial sex workers in South Africa have complained about soccer fans at the on going world cup, whom they say are yet to meet their expectation.

According to the 'ladies of the night', they are yet to feel the presence of football fans who are at the world cup, since they are not patronizing their services as expected. To them, 'the soccer fans should not only see the world cup, but feel it as well.'

They explained that the soccer fans from the various countries do not take delight in socializing, which has really affected their activities and sales.

To them, the world cup is not about just watching football matches and sleeping in your hotels.

Supporters from countries like Ghana, for instance, spend most of their time at the stadium when the Black Stars is playing, and then at their Muzinda Residence, where they watch other matches on giant screen, amidst good music to dance to, with all sorts of drinks and indoor games available.

Tiger Woods 'paid £2m to cover up details of secret love child'

2010-06-16T23:18:00.000-07:00

A TV documentary is this week set to reignite the Tiger Woods affair scandal with claims that the golfer fathered a secret love child.
Woods, who has two children with his estranged wife Elin Nordegren, hid details of the baby with the help of a journalist, it alleges.

Neal Boulton, one of many interviewed for Tiger Woods: The Rise And Fall, said he knows someone who has evidence of the child's existence, including DNA.

'There is a lot more to come out. Tiger will eventually admit to fathering a child,' he confessed.

Gary Coleman's Directuve revealed: KEEP ME ALIVE "AS LONG AS POSSIBLE"

2010-06-14T23:09:00.000-07:00

Oh, to have been a fly on the wall in Gary Coleman's hospital room.

It turns out that Coleman signed a health care directive in 2006 which specifically stated that in the event he was incapacitated, he wanted to be kept alive.

According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the former child star checked a box marked "Choice To Prolong Life" that read: "I want my life to be prolonged as long as possible within the limits of generally accepted health care standards."

But what's more revealing, however, is what Gary didn't check. . .

Coleman left blank the box next to "Choice Not To Prolong Life." That option states: "I do not want my life to be prolonged if (1) I have an incurable and irreversible condition that will result in my death within a relatively short time, (2) I become unconscious and, to a reasonable degree of medical certainty, I will not regain consciousness, or (3) the likely risks of treatment would outweight the expected benefits."

Despite his wishes, only a day after the Diff'rent Strokes star was admitted to a Provo, Utah, hospital after suffering a brain hemmorhage from a fall at his home, his live-in ex-wife, Shannon Price, decided to take him off life support, claiming in the documents that she was "forced" to do so.

Price hasn't explained what she means by "forced."

Legal experts say doctors more often than not ask for agreement from family members in these kinds of situations. So it's possible Coleman's physicians deemed his condition untenable and advised her of that and she acquiesced.

Coleman was plagued by numerous maladies over the years, including congenital kidney disease.

His onetime missus filed the paperwork with the court as part of her claim over the TV icon's body. The legal document lists her as having power of attorney to make health care decisions on his behalf so we can only assume she had the proper information to make such a momentous decision.

A rep for Price was unavailable for comment.

In related news, Coleman's death certificate is finally out and lists as the cause a "closed head injury" along with "chronic renal failure." The document also shows the late actor's marital status as "married" despite the fact that he and Price divorced in 2008.

NIGERIA VS ARGENTINA

2010-06-12T09:59:00.000-07:00

Who say we no try reach?
Oh yeah... we did try!lol

Even after a rather shaky first half and a goal in favor of Argentina scored by Gabriel Heinze due to our intial weak defense, the Super Eagles have proved all critics wrong!
Though they had no goal to their name, they came all out at the second half with more confidence and did all they could.

Personally, I think this is a good start.
And with more pulled in effort, they are likely to go all the way to do well in South Africa.

Hear Enyeama after the match...
“We’re not going to kill ourselves. We have two more games to play.” Enyeama said. “We thank God the score was a little encouraging.”

My thought? I think he is just right!

Mandela's Great-grand Daughter in fatal Auto Accident

2010-06-10T23:22:00.000-07:00

Nelson Mandela's 13-year-old great-granddaughter was killed in a car crash on the way home from the World Cup kick-off concert at Orlando Stadium in Soweto.

The Nelson Mandela Foundation said Zenani Mandela died in a one-car accident and no one else was injured.

No other details on the crash were available.

Zenani, who celebrated her 13th birthday June 9, was one of the anti-apartheid icon's nine great-grandchildren.

She was also the granddaughter of Zindzi Mandela, the daughter of South Africa's first black president and the eldest child of Zoleka Seakamela.

"The family has asked for privacy as they mourn this tragedy," the foundation said in a statement.

May her young soul rest in peace.

All About South Africa 2010

2010-06-10T02:11:00.000-07:00

The world is abuzz with news about the FIFA World Cup 2010 that is to be held in South Africa. The first match will be played tomorrow, June 11, with the host’s SOuth Africa taking on an experienced Mexican team.

According to estimates more than 400,000 international visitors will make their way in to the African nation this month to join in the festivities of the world cup. More than a million fans from the African countries will also make it to the country for the historic event.
The government has spent more than R 40 million (40 million rand) to develop the public transport infrastructure in the country. With 64 matches being held during the world cup there will be lots of travelling to do for all sports fans. 10 stadiums in different areas of the country will be the bustling hub of activity and to make sure people make it there on time there will be transportation and security available throughout according to reports.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, the premier international football tournament. It is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa. The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the culmination of a qualification process that began in August 2007 and involved 204 of the 208 FIFA national team.
As such, it matches the 2008 Summer Olynpics as the sports event with the most competing nations.

This will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by an African nation, after South Africa defeated Morocco and Egypt in an all-African bidding process. This decision left the Oceania Football Confederation as the only confederation yet to host the FIFA World Cup. Italy are the defending champions, after winning the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany. The draw for the finals took place on 4 December 2009 in Cape Town.

The Grammy award-winning singer is set to take to the stage in Soweto on Thursday, the eve of the opening match of the tournament.

The beautiful gown, which was expected to sell for £50,000, was bought for nearly four times its estimated price tag, at £192,000.

The item was bought by fashion museum, Fundacion Museo De La Moda, in Chile.

Waoh!
This is sweeet!!!
Thought they prefer to keep their romance out of the spotlight, but Beyoncé and Jay-Z let their guard down as they watched the men's final at the French Open on Monday.

The power couple put on a display of tender affection as they linked arms and exchanged whispers in the presidential box.

They certainly made a stylish pair, with the rapper looking sharp in a crisp white shirt while the singer put her figure on show in a tight olive green dress.

Sweaty and Bloated Whitney: Another disastrous performance!

2010-06-09T00:29:00.000-07:00

It was billed as a triumphant comeback, but Whitney Houston's tour is not exactly panning out that way.

The 46-year-old singer, who looked bloated and sweaty on stage, delivered another disastrous performance in Denmark over the weekend.

While fans were at first eager to welcome her back to the spotlight after a highly publicised battle against drug addiction, many have been left disappointed with her shows in recent months
Many members of the audience walked out during the singer’s latest concert in Copenhagen, according to local reports.

The Copenhagen Post claims that critics from 'all of the major media outlets' in the country were critical of the performance.

One reviewer wrote: 'She looked and sounded like a person who doesn't have many years left to live. At the end of the show she looked like she was ready to explode.'
Whitney's tour, called Nothing But Love, has been nothing short of a mess.

Last month, she was forced to cancel her opening performance in Manchester after claiming she had caught a chest infection.

Her subsequent appearances in Birmingham and London - her first concert in the capital since 1999 - were heavily criticised with some fans demanding their money back

Similar problems had beset the Australian and Asian legs of the tour in February when she also came under fire for forgetting the words to her songs.

New INEC Chairman named

2010-06-08T15:39:00.000-07:00

Professor Attahiru Jega has now been officially announced as the new Chairman of the Nigerian Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Attahiru's appointment was approved at the meeting of the Council of State which was held today.

He will be taking over the office of the Ex-Chairman Maurice Iwu who was sacked due to the high level of corruption and malpractices associated with the past elections conducted by INEC when he was still in office.

The change however arises in respect to the declaration of a free and fair election come 2011 by the President - Goodluck Jonathan.

Attahiru Jega is a professor of Political Science and also the Vice Chancellor of The Bayero University, Kano.

UK Bans Chris Brown

2010-06-08T07:12:00.000-07:00

Chris Brown is having a bad month, a feeling he's probably grown accustomed to in recent history. Last week, he was reportedly refused entry to a listening party for hot new rapper Drake in New York City and then followed it up by being turned away from a celebrity nightclub because his entourage was too big.

Now he's completed a hat-trick - but this latest rejection has seen him banned from an entire country. Brown was due to play dates across Europe this month on the latest leg of his ‘Fan Appreciation' tour but his application for a work visa has been turned down by the UK, prompting the cancellation of the entire jaunt.

The decision is said to be linked to the shamed US R&B star's conviction of assault following his February 2009 attack on Rihanna. "SORRY to all the fans in Europe! My tour is cancelled. I'm pretty sure y'all know. My entry was denied in your country. I love you. SORRY!!" Brown wrote on Twitter.

WHO ROCKS IT BETTER?

2010-06-01T06:48:00.000-07:00

Kim Kardashian rocked the red carpet in the coral-colored gown last Friday at the 2010 Cosmetic Executive Women Beauty Awards in New York City. The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star paired her figure-hugging gown with a multi-colored Talita spiked clutch and Alti platform pumps, both from Christian Louboutin, and an elegant updo.

Way back in August 2009, "America's Next Top Model" host Tyra Banks popped a pose in the same one-shoulder frock at the 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles. The former model, who nabbed the Outstanding Talk Show award for "The Tyra Show" at the event, accessorized with chunky cuff bracelets, a beige clutch and matching heels that are remarkably similar to Kim's.

First off, both ladies look incredible in the gown. Their similar olive skin-tones really make the coral color of the dress pop, and the flattering cut of the gown accentuates the fab curves that both girls possess. Tyra gets points for wearing it first, and Kim loses a few only for the fact that the gown seems just a smidge too long for her petite frame.

For me, Tyra is dah BOMB!
Who rocks it better?
