Kim, North West Khole, Kylie
Car Accident in Montana
Khloe Kardashian skidded on an ice-covered Montana road and dangerously crossed into oncoming traffic, eventually landing in a ditch with Kim, North West and Kylie on board.
We're told the girls were driving in Bozeman, MO Saturday morning when a semi-truck drove by their car and kicked up a ton of snow, hitting their windshield and apparently blinding Khloe. Apparently Khloe couldn't see and began swerving, right into a patch of black ice. The car then spun out of control, crossing oncoming traffic and ending up in a ditch.
We're told cops came and everyone's ok. The accident comes 2 weeks to the day after Bruce Jenner got in his fatal car crash.
Foluke Daramola Says She Felt Bad About
The Husband-Snatching Scandal Rocking Her Marriage
“Whenever I read any bad news about us, I felt bad. But Kayode wouldn’t feel bad because he was convinced about what we feel for each other. I felt bad because it was not me that was portrayed in those stories. The fact that I have feelings for someone and the person feels the same way about me and we both have a past that we are moving beyond does not make us bad people. The way they
made it seem to the outside world was like I was a bitch that just wanted to be wicked.
I was trying to be happy. My husband and I felt bad but he had to be bold and brave for both of us. He had to be a man and he handled it very well. He helped me overcome it and I thank God that it is over,” she said. “Everybody is fine now. Everything is cool with our ex because we believe that we disagree to agree. Just because it did not work with one person does not mean it would not work with another person. All parties involved are mature about it and so far, everybody is happy.”
Kim Kardashian and Pals Hit the Slopes After Kanye West
and Amber Rose's Heated Feud
Kim Kardashian may be in the middle of a heated feud, but she's feeling cold as ever right now. The E! star's hubby Kanye West and his ex-girlfriend Amber Rose threw digs at
each other earlier today, but Kim chose to keep herself out of the drama and instead hit the slopes with a few of her nearest and dearest. Staying mum on the back-and-forth, Kim opted to share a number of snapshots from her snowy ski day alongside sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, and pals
Jonathan Cheban and Malika Haqq. You wouldn't be able to tell It was Kim and her famous friends and fam if it weren't for her captions, because the group were covered head-to-toe in ski gear. "Skiing sisters," she wrote with one snapshot, while poking fun at another pic with Cheban and Malika "Emergency contact: @jonathancheban Relationship to patient?... BFF! Right @forevermalika." Kim also posted a picture of the group on the snow and wrote, "#
BlizzardIsComing #We'reDone #LastRun." Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick were also there, but only posed for a selfie with each other on the lift. Kanye decided to
address the shade thrown at his lady by Rose recently when he stopped by Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club to chat today. "[Amber] is just soaking in the moment. Nobody feel
compelled to do nothing," the outspoken rapper told the hosts. "If Kim had dated me when I first wanted to be with her, there
wouldn't have been an Amber Rose." He also added: "It's very hard for a woman to want to be with someone that was with Amber Rose," he said before adding, "I had to take 30
showers before I got with Kim." Ouch. Amber clearly fired back, and began sounding off on Twitter, telling the rapper things like, "I'll leave that up to the Kartrashians to humiliate u when they're done with u." But hey, look at how pretty that snow is!
Nigerian Actress Bimbo Akintola Battling
Shoes Addiction, Says She’s Has A Room Filled With Shoes
In a recent chat with Ademola Olonilua, Nollywood actress Bimbo Akintola revealed that she’s a shoe addict. While explaining her fashion weakness, the actress said her love for shoes has become an addiction and that she has a whole room dedicated to shoes.
In her words: “My fashion weakness is shoes. I don’t know how many pairs of shoes I have but I have a room filled with shoes. The room
is dedicated to my shoes alone.”
Nigerian Trade Unions Protest
The Nigerian Trade Union Congress sent the following cable to Oliver Stanley, British Colonial Secretary: “Nigerian Trades Unions disfavor the constitution in its present unsatisfactory form. Approval by the Legislative Council is unauthorized. Workers’ claims have been flagrantly ignored Memorandum follows.” One of the main points in the memorandum of the TUC was that “the proposed constitution should provide for
adult suffrage irrespective of income.” At the huge May Day 1945 celebration of the TUC in Lagos a resolution demanded full adult suffrage for the people of Nigeria. There are no essential differences between the new constitution and the old. The projected “reforms” do not in any respect constitute progress toward Nigeria’s independence.
The real power still rests in the hands of the Governor and his Executive Council. The new “reforms” simply serve to reinforce the alliance between the British and autocratic native rulers in opposition to the will and desires of the people. The primary functions of the chiefs under this system of indirect rule are to
maintain imperialist “law and order,” secure forced labor, recruit troops in time of war, and, above all else, collect the extortionate taxes imposed by the British authorities. Before the conquest of the country by the Europeans the
authority of the chiefs derived from the people and from elected councils of elders. They were subject to the will of the people. If he became autocratic and tyrannical, the chief could
be removed by the people. Today under the system of indirect rule, the chiefs are servants of the British overlords. The people are recognizing the true role of the chiefs as agents of British rule and asserting themselves in opposition. The Colonial authorities, aware of the dangers of this rising
tide of popular discontent, are attempting to arrest the growing democratic aspirations of the people by tieing the chiefs more closely to themselves under the new constitution.
The West African Pilot, reviewing these proposals, said: “Any system of government which nourishes feudalism or advances a baronial class who must thrive at the expense of the lower classes is undesirable ... The powerful indirect rulers of the north enjoy good salaries (5,000 pounds per annum) and Oriental palaces, they have nothing to complain about. But the classes under them have no justice, no education and their health is not enviable. The building up of a ruling class, vested with power, supplied with money and set up to live in pomp and luxury side by side with a poor and underfed peasant class, will have exactly the same result as such a
system has had in other countries – namely, the people seek the destruction of such institutions.”
* * * *
The economic and political events of the past five years in Nigeria culminating in the triumphant general strike of the organized workers against the government confirm anew the Trotskyist theory of the permanent revolution applied to the struggles of the colonial peoples. In his report to the Third
Congress of the Communist International in 1921 Trotsky predicted: “The combination of the military nationalistic oppression of
foreign imperialism, of the capitalist exploitation by the foreign and native bourgeoisie, and the survivals of feudal disabilities are creating the conditions in which the immature proletariat of the colonial countries must develop rapidly and take the
lead in the revolutionary movement of the peasant masses.”

Wendy Williams Defends Iggy Azalea: "Black People Don't Want This Girl to Win Because She's White"
Wendy Williams is coming to Iggy Azalea's defense in a big way. On her show this week, the 50-year-old talk show host took Azalea's haters to task after some people online bashed the 24-year-old rapper over a recent bootylicious bikini pic of her (among other things). "Would guys stop with the Iggy
Azalea?! How much hate do you guys have?!" Williams asked her audience. "I want you all to leave her alone. I know who the haters are: my people," Williams said, referencing the African American community. "It seems like black people don't want this girl to win because she's white." Williams went on to claim black people in the U.S. feel ill will towards Azalea
because African American people are "very territorial about our rap music." "You take over the radio. You can be heard on hip-hop stations, Top 40 stations. My father who just turned 84 knows who Iggy Azalea is. The little goobers running around in nursery schools know who Iggy Azalea is," she went on. "In other words, you're a hater because she's crossed over and she's managed to make it. You're a hater because she got herself what looks like a black girl's butt and a black
boyfriend, Nick Young. You need to stop that hate and get a life, haters." That said, Williams reminded fans that she's "never met" Azalea.

Bobbi Kristina Brown Undergoes Tracheotomy to Help Prevent
Infections From Breathing Tube
Doctors performed a tracheotomy on Bobbi Kristina Brown Wednesday to help fight infection from her breathing tube, E! News confirms. The source tells us that it's a "normal procedure after a certain amount of time on a breathing tube. It helps prevent infections." The source also confirms that her
family is in the process of taking her out of the medically induced coma. The news comes just days after her father's lawyer, Christopher Brown (no relation), slammed reports that
the 21-year-old woman would be taken off life support this week. Those are "false stories," he revealed to E! News Monday morning before assuring the media that there is "nothing happening." But now that the family is trying to pull her out of the coma, maybe something positive will happen to Whitney Houston's daughter, who has remained in the hospital since being discovered face down in her bathtub on Jan. 31. Reports about Bobby Brown's daughter have said a variety of different things regarding her health status, but her father just wants everyone to focus on praying for a recovery. "We continue to request privacy in this matter," he said in a statement to E! News. "We thank everyone that supports
Bobbi Kristina and God is healing our prayers." Bobbi Kristina's aunt, Leolah Brown, previously told reporters that her niece was showing signs of improvement, despite remaining on life support. "She's still on life support," she told Fox 5 Atlanta. "We know that she's opening her eyes. That's true. She's opening her eyes and there's a few more things
that she's doing but Krissi is doing well right now. She is." But cousin Jerod Brown said that opening her eyes "might not be a good thing or a bad thing." Despite the conflicting reports, Bobby's attorney continues to implore media outlets not to get their information from "unauthorized members of the family." "The integrity of the events that led to the hospitalization of Bobbi Kristina must remain uncompromised," lawyer Christopher Brown (no relation) said. "Various members of the family have provided media interviews, however, none of them are approved visitors to see Bobbi Kristina." Roswell Police have confirmed that there's an ongoing criminal investigation into what happened to her.
Salma Hayek, 48, Reveals She ''Never Exercised'' Before Now:
''I Was Always Borderline Chubby''
Salma Hayek may be "pushing 50," but she's never looked better. The star of the upcoming action-packed flick Everly opens up to Net-a-Porter's The Edit about how she maintains
her killer hourglass figure and why 2015 is about to be her craziest year yet. "I never exercised my whole life, but now I do yoga. I was always borderline chubby, because I like my food, and frankly, I like my wine," she tells the fashion site. "I have to say, I'm pushing 50 but I feel great. I looked worse in my youth! I'm in good shape right now." She continued, "I'm
quite short. I have an overly...wavy body. I'm not like the girl next door who is easy to cast. I don't fit into any of the stereotypes of a woman that should continue to work. I don't
know what it is, but I don't think it has anything to do with planning. It has something to do with karma, maybe. I believe in karma." Hayek, who has five films out this year confessed that "this is the by far the busiest I have been in my life." "The funny thing is that I really don't even understand how [it all] came out. Maybe because when you don't want something as much, you're not desperate." The stunning star added, "If you think about it, I'm limited by the way I talk and by the way I look. I'm 48 years old. Amazing, talented people [stop finding work] at 32, 33 sometimes! Not so much in London, but in the U.S. it's crazy. Also, for those who have
never seen me in person...oh, you should see me sometimes. At the weekend, I walk around in my pajamas. Sometimes I'll make an effort, but a lot fo the time I'm just shameless. Comfortably shameless."
Kristen Stewart Tells Interview That She's Still "F--king Proud" of Twilight
The days of Twilight are long gone for Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, but just because they're over doesn't mean they're forgotten. Stewart, who played the lead
in the young adult series film adaptation (like we could forget Bella Swan), has since moved on and has even tried to drop her teenybopper persona with other hard-hitting roles, but she
dishes to Interview magazine (by way of Patti Smith) that those movies remain an extremely important part of her life. "Anybody who wants to talk s--t about Twilight, I completely
get it, but there's something there that I'm endlessly, and to this day, f--king proud of," she Smith. "My memory of it felt-- still feels--really good." Thank goodness she has no regrets about it, because we certainly don't either! # TeamEdwardForLife. In fact, she explains that every movie she has ever worked on, including those four Twilight installments,
has shaped who she is today. But she doesn't like it when people start to look at each of her roles individually because all of them have affected her. "People are always comparing
s--t. Like, comparing Twilight to things and trying to figure out why I've made certain decisions that I've made, and I always say every single moment that has led me to this
moment has made me who I am," she says to Smitih. "Every movie that I've done, they don't stand independently from one another because a little bit of me is in every single one of those, and it's part of my own personal growth. Although The Runaways actress has become well known for her awkward
interviews, she confesses to the mag that she made up her mind about becoming an actress when she was just a little kid! Her parents both work in the film industry as members of
film crews. Despite the downsides of fame, she says she doesn't regret any of it. "Well, I'm sitting back and enjoying the benefits of a decision that I made when I was a person
who I can still relate to but am not anymore," she says.
Amber Rose Grinds Her Booty on a Guy While Wearing Nearly
Naked Costume at Carnival: See the Sexy Pic
Wiz Khalifa who? While partying at Carnival in Trinidad and Tobago this week, Amber Rose got very up close and personal with a guy during the high-energy festivities. Dressed in a
barely there beaded turquoise bikini and a matching feather headdress, the 31-year-old model flaunted lots of skin, including her ample cleavage and famous big booty, while
dancing in the nearly naked costume. At one point during the celebration, Rose bumped and grinded on a pal and was even photographed gyrating her butt on the guy. Hot damn! But the sexy NSFW dancing doesn't end there. Rose shared multiple videos of her and her guy friend getting all kinds of dirty on her Instagram. "Men aren't the only ones that can have fun on tour..... women can too," she wrote, adding, "#UMad Trini men tho???? #IllTakeaSliceOfTriniManPiePlease #Thot #Whore #Hoe #Slut #BadBitch #MILF #ButDatAssonFleekDoe #
MomsAreAllowedtoHaveFunToo #
NoDoubleStandardsOverHereBro." Rose, who filed for divorce from Khalifa back in September, also posted a selfie of her
risqué costume with the caption, "Back to me killin the gram #TrinidadandTobagoCarnival." Meanwhile, Khalifa has been sharing some adorable pics and videos of their son Sebastian on Instagram.
A former gladiator is returning to the small screen. Columbus Short has booked his first major TV role since exiting Scandal in April 2014. E! Online can exclusively reveal that Short has joined the cast of Fear Files, the second installment of TV One's original horror film franchise. In the short film Fear, which will premiere in Friday, March 13, Short will play City Councilman Harvey Jordan, whose plan to build a football stadium in a low income neighborhood causes friction to erupt within the community. And after a deadly fire removes the last resident standing in the way of his project, people begin to question if the death was an accident or a murder planned by
the Councilman. While the truth begins to haunt Jordan, he must charm Kelisia Waters (Erica Hubbard), a determined reporter in order to sway the media attention away from him.
Short's exit from the ABC hit series came just after the season three finale, which found his character Harrison's life in jeopardy (It was revealed he was killed in the season four
premiere). "At this time I must confirm my exit from a show I've called home for 3 years, with what is the most talented ensemble on television today. I would like to first thank
Shonda Rhimes for the opportunity to work with such an amazing cast," Short said in a statement released by his publicist. Following his legal issues and substance abuse battle, Short revealed during an interview in December that he was" "really ready to get back to work. As far as Shonda's shows, I would love nothing more to go back to Scandal. It's my family." After the success of the first trilogy, TV One decided to pick up three new films, including For the Love of
Lockwood Too, a sequel to For the Love of Lockwood, as well as Fire, and Mama's Boy, which stars Robin Givens. "Buoyed
by the positive viewer and social media response to the inaugural airing, we are pleased to be able to deliver another
installment of this compelling and entertaining series," Cathy Hughes, Radio One founder and chairperson, said in a statement. "Delving deeper in to the horror genre helps fulfill
TV One's mission of super-serving the Black audience with a wide variety of programming genres to reflect the diversity of content Black viewers crave." Fear, and the rest of the Fear
Files trilogy, will premiere on Friday, March 13 at 8 p.m. on TV One.

Khloé Kardashian Defends Kylie Jenner in Epic Twitter War With Amber Rose: "Please Stop Talking About Us"
It sounds like Khloé Kardashian and Amber Rose won't be BFFs anytime soon! This President's Day weekend, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star couldn't ignore the
model's latest interview where she took more than a few jabs at Kylie Jenner. "She's a baby," Rose said on Power 105.1's The Breakfast Club when asked about the friendship between
Kylie and Tyga. "She needs to go to bed at 7 o'clock and relax." Never one to stay quiet about her family, Khloé decided to defend her little sister in a series of tweets Monday
afternoon. "'I was a stripper since I was 15 years old,' Amber Rose told Foxx. Please don't worry about my sister who has a career & her shit together at ONLY 17," she wrote on social
media. "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Please stop talking about us in interviews mama. None of us talk about you." Khloé went on to assure fans that
her family gets asked about other celebrities all the time. But instead of speaking out on rumors, they keep quiet. "We get asked questions about people all the time and my sisters and I always take the high road and don't answer. Truth is we don't know these people," she wrote. "I don't know Amber so
why would I comment on her. I'm not going to comment on someone I don't know." She added, "3 sides to EVERY story. His, hers and the truth. I'm not passing judgment but I wish
others would do the same until they have FACTS." For better or worse, Rose didn't exactly follow Khloé's advice. Instead, she fired back at the famous family in a serious of tweets and Instagrams. "@KhloeKardashian I'm happy u brought up the fact that I was a stripper at 15," she tweeted. I'll be that lil
whore to support my family like ur older sister is a whore 2 support heres. We're even. #DontPanic." We told you this was one serious Twitter war! "@DaRealAmberRose lol #DontPanic well damn, I didn't realize I called you a whore...But at the end of the day I guess people love to call us whores," Khloé responded. "Easiest jab to throw. It is what it is. We still livin though." She concluded, "My point was proven. She can't even wait 10 mins before mentioning one of our names SMH."
It's safe to say there's more to come! Keeping Up With the Kardashians Season 10 premieres March 15 at 9 p.m. only onE!

The war led directly to this rapid growth of the working class. By the beginning of 1942 the harbors of West Africa became busy ports of call for convoys bound for the Middle and Far
Eastern theaters of war. Simultaneously a great chain of airports grew up near the main towns for handling the stream of aircraft carrying men and supplies to North Africa and the Far East. A huge construction program ranged from the building of mud huts in military camps to the building of up- to-date airdromes, new roads, railroads and harbor facilities. These activities were accompanied by the intensified exploitation of vital raw materials, such as ores, foodstuffs, lumber and rubber.To supply the necessary manpower
thousands of natives were literally hurled from their primitive agrarian and tribal mode of living into the modern world of machinery and capitalism. These developments produced far-
reaching dislocations in the social structure of Nigeria. Processes that in peacetime would have taken generations are today being completed in weeks or months. Simultaneous with the rapid rise of the trade-union movement there has developed a large and powerful Nigerian nationalist movement in which the trade unions play a leading part. This political movement has cut across tribal traditions, religious ties, Mohammedan, Christian, Pagan, and the barrier of diverse
native languages. Nigeria, with its numerous native states and tribes, has hitherto been bound together only by geographical proximity and the bureaucratic apparatus of the British
imperialist overlords. Now its people are developing a national consciousness.
The nationalist movement took on definite shape in August 1943 when a delegation of editors of West African newspapers in Great Britain issued a memorandum on “The Atlantic Charter and West Africa.” Basing their claim on Clause 3 of the Atlantic Charter which affirms “the right of all people to choose the form of government under which they may live,” they asked for the immediate abrogation of the Crown Colony system of government and the substitution of representative government. The authors of the memorandum declared “that factors of capitalism and imperialism have stifled the normal growth of these territories.” The memorandum set forth a series of proposals for reforms in education, health, social welfare, agriculture, mining, finance, trade and commerce. Upon the return of the press delegation to Africa, a campaign
to popularize these demands was started under the leadership of Nnamdi Azikiwe, editor of the West African Pilot, largest Nigerian daily newspaper, and secretary of the delegation. On
January 20 of this year a constitutional convention was held in Lagos, capital of Nigeria, which formulated and adopted a
draft constitution and a program of economic and social reforms. The convention set up the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons for the purpose of uniting in federation all progressive organizations in the country. The June 26 Daily Comet reports that 126 organizations have affiliated with the Council. Among them are sixty tribal unions,
the two leading political parties – the Nigerian National Democratic Party and the Union of Young Democrats eleven social clubs, eight professional associations. The most significant are the two leading trade union organizations – the West African Union of Seamen and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria with its 86 affiliated unions and membership of over 500,000. An editorial in the May 17 West African Pilot says that the Council has a following of over 6 million people. Alarmed by these developments the British Colonial Government set about to counter the popular insistence on a new constitution. Shortly after this convention a White Paper containing proposals for the reform of the Constitution of Nigeria was issued with the approval of the British Colonial
Secretary, in the name of Sir Arthur Richards, Governor of Nigeria. By this proposed constitutional revision the British imperialists sought to prevent the emanation of a draft
constitution from the people themselves through the Constitutional Convention.
Calling a special meeting of the Legislative Council in March, Richards presented a constitutional draft demanding immediate acceptance before the people had an opportunity to study it. The Council, made up of a majority of white officials and a minority of hand-picked chiefs, voted acceptance.
At the same session of the Legislative Council Richards secured approval for two bills. One granted the British Government the right to confiscate all African lands wherever minerals were discovered. The other gave the Governor power to dispose of any chief who supported the Nationalist movement against the British.
Taking up the challenge of the Governor, Azikiwe called upon the natives to rally around the National Council, and fight to defend their ancestral lands. Without these the Nigerians will surely sink into further economic enslavement like the natives of South Africa and Kenya. Mass meetings throughout Nigeria
passed resolutions denouncing the “Uncle Toms” who voted support for Richards and demanded that the Colonial Office rescind the undemocratic constitution and take its hands off the African lands. In the face of this nation-wide insurgency the Governor flew to London to consult with the Colonial Office. Meanwhile the natives collected over $50,000 for the
expenses of a delegation to London. Head of the delegation was Herbert Macauly, Nigeria’s “elder statesman,” who successfully fought the British thirty years ago when the Government attempted to confiscate tribal lands belonging to Chief Elako, active ruler of Lagos. The delegation of twelve included representatives from the most important tribes, Christian, Moslem and Pagan. Azikiwe was appointed secretary.





It's here--and it's here early! Taylor Swift's artsy "Style" music video was supposed to debut on Good Morning America Friday. The 25-year-old pop singer-songwriter had been
posting teaser clips via social media throughout the week, and Swift promised her fans that the full version would air for the
first time live on ABC's morning show. However, Canada's MuchMusic got a little excited and posted "Style" on its website at midnight. Can you blame the network? It's a great video. In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, Swift holds a paper airplane necklace--a nod to her ex, One Direction's Harry Styles. She actually references the jewelry in another song, "Out of the Woods," when she sings, "Looking at it now / Last December, we were built to fall apart / Then fall back together / Your necklace hanging from my neck / The night we couldn't quite forget / When we decided / To move the furniture so we could dance / Baby, like we stood a chance / Two paper airplanes flying, flying." But back to "Style." The video features close-ups of Swift and her sexy, shirtless love interest. There's also a broken mirror, a long
drive, red lipstick, a deserted beach--all the makings of a classic Swift video. In October 2014, Swift revealed "Style" was her "secret favorite." "I hope it ends up being a single. I
hope people love it," she told Ryan Seacrest in an iHeartRadio/KIIS-FM interview. "I love how the song sounds the way that that feeling felt. I love it when the sound of the song matches up with the feeling that inspired it. In this song,
it just reminds me of driving in the middle of the night. I don't know. I loved comparing these timeless visuals with a feeling. that never goes out of style." Seacrest then called attention to these lyrics in particular: "I heard that you been out and about with some other girl / Some other girl / He says, what you've
heard it's true but I /Can't stop thinking about you and I / I said I've been there too a few times." Without identifying the song's inspiration, Swift explained, "It's basically one of those relationships that's always a bit off. I talk about in another song on the record, a crooked love, which is never quite synced up right. The two people are trying to forget each
other and they've both been out with other people and they've both tried to forget the other. So, it's like, 'All right, I heard you went off with her,' and well, I've done that, too, so that's what that line means...I would never have said anything like that on a previous album. My previous albums have also been
sort of like, 'I was right, you were wrong, you did this, it made me feel like this'--a righteous sense of right and wrong in a relationship. What happens when you grow up is you realize the rules in a relationship are very blurred and that it gets very complicated very quickly, and there's not always a case of
who was right and who was wrong." "Style" is the third music video from Swift's album, 1989, after "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space." Her first pop effort is No. 1 for an 11th non-
consecutive week, selling 108,000 units in its 15th week on the charts. "Just found out that in 3.5 months, 1989 has now outsold Red (which has been out for over 2 years) AND I
THINK THAT'S PRETTY COOL GUYS," Swift told her 52.5 million Twitter followers Thursday.
There are many ways that a good wife can tell her husband she loves him so much. When you wake up in the morning always give your husband a kiss. When he is ready to go to work, look at his cloths and make sure it is good. You need to make your husband strong, you need to support him in his career and everything that concerns him. Sometimes men have bad days at work just as women do so make sure you are there for him when he needs you. Ask your husband how was his day and making sure he answers you and this might be what attracted you to him in the first instance. Men don't talk but when you ask they will tell.
Don't bring too many female friends to your house; men don't like that. Be humble and prayerful. As a good wife you need to have a gasp of what your husband likes for example his favorite food and restaurant, what he likes doing most like watching TV, playing games, taking a walk together,, things he want on the bed. You must understand your husband and know his mood so that you will not contradict him in front of others and cause people to loose respect for him.
A good wife must be honest, this will help her husband trust her the more. She must be faithful in all ways. A good wife must have good qualities for example knowing how to take care of her home by keeping it clean, being a good cook, avoiding neighborhood conflicts, gossips and not contributing to the society. A good wife must be submissive and God fearing.

Crude oil theft is a major problem in Nigeria, Africa’s largest oil exporter. A report just released by the International Energy Agency says Nigeria loses more than five billion euros to oil theft annually. By Sam Olukoya The product is normally stolen from pipelines in the oil- producing Niger Delta region and loaded into ships in the Atlantic Ocean from where it is sent abroad. The navy has now been deployed to combat the crime. Ships, gun boats and air force patrol planes were recently deployed for the first phase of the operation which lasted one week. Rear-Admiral Ameen Ikioda, who commands the
western naval command, says the exercise marks the beginning of a long-term plan to combat oil theft. Audio report - Oil theft
Listen "It is not just a one-off thing," he told RFI. "It is something that is going to be on a continuous basis now. We are going to intensify our efforts at ensuring that we maintain presence in that area. "We hope to know where gaps exist and then know how to fill in the gaps so that we can be more proactive in dealing with issues that may arise from all these theft cases in the waters of the country." The crime is carried out by syndicates which include Nigerians and international oil traders, who sell the stolen product to refineries around the world. The Anglo-Dutch company, Shell, the largest multinational oil company operating in Nigeria
says it loses 12 million euros daily to oil thieves. "The estimates we have seen, we have heard about and talked about is about 150,000 barrels a day," says Tony Attah,
Shell's vice president of corporate affairs. "That comes to almost 15 million dollars [12 million euros] a day." Most estimates put Nigeria’s annual loss at seven billion dollars (5.4 billion euros). State-owned radio and television stations often carry public service announcements aimed at discouraging people from indulging in crude-oil theft. But many feel that neither public service announcements nor the recently launched military action will halt the crime. Morris Alagoa of the Environmental Rights Action in Bayelsa State in the Niger Delta says local youths involved in oil theft
are not likely to give up the crime because they say pollution caused by oil exploitation has affected their environment and their traditional occupations. "According to them, their people can no longer fish as they used to do in those days, they can no longer farm, the lands have been polluted so they have seen tapping from the pipelines to either sell the crude or to refine what they have seen as one of the most thriving business within their local
economy," he says. "So if they are now stopped they feel they will be frustrated."
Many Nigerians doubt the government’s ability to effectively stop oil theft. The Nigerian media say it is difficult to combat the crime
because influential Nigerians are involved.

The 25-year-old "Shake It Off" singer took to her Instagram page today to post a short, sound-less clip from her new music video, which will premiere this Friday, Feb. 13. "STYLE music video. Friday. #Feb13STYLE," the Grammy winner wrote. In the preview clip, an image of Swift's head is shown with a mysterious visual effect of white smoke filling her mind.

us wondering what other tricks T.Swift has up her sleeve for the "Style" music video! While we wait for the full "Style" video, let's check out Swift's new Madame Tussauds wax
figure! The Madame Tussauds location in London recently unveiled their new likeness of the country cutie turned pop super-star. The figure features Swift dressed as a cheerleader

Bobbi Kristina, 21, has been in a medically induced coma January 31 after she was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her US home.
According to The Post, her relatives have now made the decision to turn off her life support machine tomorrow - on what will be the third anniversary since Whitney Houston's death.
As source claimed that the Brown and Houston families have been arguing ever since Bobbi Kristina was rushed to the hospital, but they have now come to terms with the fact that she cannot be saved. "This is the only thing they can agree on — that she’s gone
[brain-dead], and there’s nothing more than can be done for her," the source told the publication. This is the only thing they can agree on — that she’s gone [brain-dead], and there’s nothing more than can be done for her
Source The devastating choice was allegedly made by both sides of the family after Bobbi's grandmother Cissy made the suggestion last weekend during discussions with the Brown
family at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta.
According to reports, the machine will be switched off at the stroke of midnight to align the date with the 2012 passing of the legendary singer at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
Apparently, filmmaker Tyler Perry - who was close to Whitney - has played a key role in making the peace between the two families.
The source added that he has already been asked to make all the funeral arrangements.
"You wouldn’t think of him as being someone who’d be a peacemaker, but he’s someone both sides really respect," they said.
Who's ready for Fifty Shades of Grey?! We're less than a week away from the release of Hollywood's latest and steamiest flicks that could just give moviegoers boners "bigger than you know how to handle." Hey, those are Jamie Dornan's words, not ours. And while the hot movie hasn't even hit theatres nationwide, director Sam Taylor-Johnson is ready to film
some more. "I'm signed on," she told E! News when asked about any plans for a sequel. "Let's see how this one goes first." Oh yes, so about that first one. Moviegoers will finally
witness Christian Grey (Dornan) and Anastasia Steele's (Dakota Johnson) chemistry on the big screen. According to the director, the sparks flew almost immediately. "The chemistry was funny because the two of them liked to out- funny each other. So there's this competition about who's the funniest," she explained to Maria Menounos. "When I saw that humor, I thought we have to build this into the movie. A lot of it came naturally...It just felt like it was right to take that journey into much darker places." And by darker, she really
means hotter and sexier. Fans can expect plenty of NSFW moments between the two lovebirds who prepared well in advance before cameras started to role. "[The sex scenes]
were very choreographed. It had to be choreographed because I didn't want to make them go through it [countless times]," she admitted. "It's an uncomfortable environment. You have to base it on trust. You have to build that trust to get there." One person who may not be witnessing the scenes is Johnson's mother Melanie Griffith. Although she's very proud of her daughter for her accomplishments, this piece of work just isn't for her. "She's very clear and very fun and very
level-headed and she knows what she's doing," she told E! News at Clive Davis' Pre Grammys party. "[But] No, I won't be seeing it." And by the sounds of it, neither will Dornan's
wife. Although she's a talented actress and was supportive of her husband's role, the Irish actor assured us that the interest just isn't there. "She hasn't seen the film," he admitted to E! News before confessing she will "definitely not" be watching it with him. "She has a deep understanding of work and how you get work and the process of making films. That is beneficial." Find out what all the fuss is about when Fifty Shades of Grey hits theatres Valentine's Day weekend. (E! Online, Universal

Miley Cyrus has entered the world of pornographic films--no, not like that. The singer reportedly submitted her short video
"Tongue Tied" into the New York City Porn Film Festival, which begins in Bushwick on Feb. 27. The 4-minute and 30- second clip shows the sexual singer flaunting her body in
black underwear, fishnets and black tape on her bare breasts while swaying in compromising positions. And if the artsy
black and white video seems familiar fans, it's no coincidence. This is the same video that played as a show intro before Cyrus took the stage during her Bangerz tour. The bondage
film shows Cyrus hanging from suspended ribbons like an acrobat before she's shown hanging up-side-down from one line almost naked. Later in the video, Cyrus cries black tears with oil painted over her eyes. She also smears the black oil all over her chest, breasts and stomach. "It's a pop take on S&M," festival founder Simon Leahy reportedly said. "She's starting to become more of a contemporary artist." "Miley Cyrus wears that bondage lightly. And literally. She stretches
the definition of kink, making it pop. On stage, riding a giant hot dog, she grins like the girl who yells loudest in the 'penis!' game. She could stop, actually, if she wanted to...but she
won't. She wears her latex like she's dressing up as herself for Halloween: 'I'm a Sexy Mily Cyrus! What are you?'" Sarah Nicole Prickette, editor of ADULT magazine, said of the film.
The reply to these provocations was given at a huge mass rally in Lagos where thousands of workers swore on their tribal oath “by our mother Africa and the departed spirits of our ancestors” not to return to work until their demands were granted. Their five demands were: pay the strikers for the period during which they have been on strike; guarantee their pensions and other rights; no victimization of strikers; immediate release of the arrested strike leaders; grant the original demand for a 2/6 minimum wage. The militancy of the workers was further demonstrated when Bankole, president of the NTUC, advised the strikers to return to work. This false leader was immediately repudiated and expelled from office. He was replaced by A.O. Imoude, former president of the Railway Workers Union, who had been released from four years detention and exile on June 2. Imoude had been imprisoned on grounds that his labor activities interfered with the progress of the war. On his release he returned to Lagos riding on a white horse where he was received like a conquering hero and publicly acclaimed by thousands of workers. The anti-imperialist movement pressed the battle on still another front. In protest against the re-enactment of the rigid press censorship and suppression of free opinion, the African Pilot and the Daily Comet , the two leading Nigerian daily papers, appeared with their editorial pages blank. These two papers were later suppressed because they criticized those union leaders who advocated that the strikers return to work.
The European community threatened to lynch the editor, Azikiwe. Azikiwe cabled to labor, Negro and progressive organizations in the United States and Great Britain for aid on his behalf. In response to his appeal cablegrams of protest were sent to the British Colonial Office and the Governor of Nigeria by James P.
Cannon, national secretary of the Socialist Workers Party, Walter White for the NAACP, and R.J. Thomas president of the CIO United Automobile Workers. In defense of the actions of Governor Richards, the Colonial Office in London issued a statement that the Secretary of State for Colonies “is satisfied that the measures taken by the Nigerian government to combat the rise in the cost of living are the best possible under the circumstances. Any increase in the cost of living allowance would not only be operated to the detriment of the wage earners themselves, but would result in
the deterioration of the general economic situation.” While the British Government was trying to break the strike, significant demonstrations of solidarity were held in England. In London over 2,000 Africans and other colonial seamen, war plant workers and students held a mass rally in support of
Nigerian labor and collected about $2,000 to aid in feeding the wives and children of the strikers. Sixty telegrams were sent to world trade union organizations and unions in America, India and the West Indies by the Pan-African Federation seeking support for the Nigerian workers. A similar mass meeting held in Manchester collected over $500 for the strike relief fund.

The Nigerian Trade Union Congress which led this tremendous strike struggle to victory is only two years old. It was organized in August 1943 when 200 delegates from 56 unions, representing over 100,000 workers, met in Lagos, the capital of Nigeria. The Congress issued a manifesto declaring that the workers of Nigeria were entitled to the full rights of democratic government, including free speech, collective bargaining, adequate wages, equality of opportunity and protection against ignorance, want, disease and exploitation. The
Congress adopted a program calling for the nationalization of mining, timber and other important industries, labor representation on the Legislative Council and the Municipal
Councils, social insurance, education and housing for workers and protection of workers’ health. At its second annual conference in August 1944 there were delegates from 64 unions and the membership had increased
to over 400,000. The Nigerian Trade Union Congress now has 86 affiliated unions with a membership of over 500,000. The vigorous proletariat of Nigeria is new and young. The
number of wage and salaried workers in Nigeria in 1939 was only 183,000. 37.5 percent were employed by the government, 37.5 percent in mining and 25 percent by commercial firms, agriculture and other private interests. Today it is estimated that there are about one million wage and salaried workers, more than half of them organized in unions.

Ryan Reynolds is finally giving us some answers on the great mystery that is his baby girl's name. The actor and Blake Lively welcomed their first child together in early January, but the pair held back on revealing their daughter's moniker. Regardless, many speculated as to what it could be, and some
reports even claimed to have learned that the Hollywood pair chose to name her Violet. Well, we finally know the truth, thanks to Reynolds, and that is not her name. "No that's not
the name," the star told USA Today during an interview about his new horror-comedy The Voices today. "I don't want to get into that but I don't know where that came from Unfortunately, the famous dad didn't reveal what his daughter's name actually is, but at least we have one possible crossed off the list. We just hope he didn't end up going with
that wacky name he mentioned back in October. "I don't want a name that's anything pretentious or, like, Hollywood-y," Reynolds spilled to Canada's eTalk. "So I'm going with
Excalibur Anaconda Reynolds...that's if it's a girl." Although, if that is her name, we love her all the same. The proud first- time father also talked to E! News' Jesse Giddings recently at
the 2015 Sundance Film Festival premiere of Mississippi Grind, gushing that being a dad is "amazing!" "The best thing about it--well, everything's great about it," he said of parenthood. "The least impressive thing is the complete lack of sleep." She has him wrapped around her little finger, he confirmed, adding
with a laugh, "That started well before she was born!
Oprah Winfrey is returning to TV. The iconic talk show host and actor is teaming up with Ava DuVernay of Selma fame for Queen Sugar, a series based on the novel of the same name.
The series will air on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network. Wifrey will executive produce and appear in a recurring role. DuVernay is
set to write, direct and executive produce the series. Production is scheduled to begin later this year. "I loved this book and immediately saw it as a series for OWN," Winfrey said in a statement. "The story's themes of reinventing your life, parenting alone, family connections and conflicts, and building new relationships are what I believe will connect our
viewers to this show." Natalie Baszile's novel follows a "spirited woman" who leaves an upscale Los Angeles life behind to claim inheritance from her recently deceased dad: an 800-acre sugar cane farm in Louisiana. "From the moment I was introduced to the book, I was captivated by the idea of a modern woman wrestling with identity, family,culture and the echoes of history," DuVernay said in a statement. "To bring this kind of storytelling to life alongside Oprah for her network
is wildly wonderful. I'm excited about what's in store." The two recently worked together on Selma. DuVernay tweeted more thoughts on the series after the news broke. "Been
wanting to move like Soloway, Fincher Soderbergh, Fukanaga, McQueen. Take your time to tell a story. Hours. Freedom.
Thanks, @Oprah," she said. This is the first time Winfrey will appear in a scripted series on OWN. Her other TV acting credits include 30 Rock, Ellen and Brewster Place. She was
nominated for an Oscar for her work in The Color Purple and is also up for another for producing Selma.
Events transpired yesterday during the 2015 Super Bowl that left us wondering a lot of things this morning. There were sharks, balls (both beach and foot), Seahawks coach Pete
Carroll's YOLO play call and Missy Freakin' Elliot reminding us that 2001 was millions of years ago. And that was just some of the s--t that went down on Super Bowl Sunday. Does anyone have answers for us?! 1. Is Rob Gronkowski the bro- iest NFL player who ever bro'd? 2. If Katy Perry was riding the
"More You Know" star, what did she teach us? 3. Also, did Hot Dog on a Stick pay for the outfit tie-in? 4. Why did Pete Carroll call a slant when he had Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch on the one-yard line? 5. Is there anything cuter than Tom Brady celebrating his big win with his wife and kids? 6. Who
would've guessed dancing sharks would be the real Super Bowl MVP? #LeftShark4President 7. Which celeb was paid the most for their commercial appearance? Liam Neeson probably did it for free because he loves mocking his Taken character
so damn much. 8. Tom who? How come we didn't know Julian Edelman was so hot?! 9. Is there anything more heartbreaking than watching Richard Sherman's reaction to
that final interception? 10. Is anyone else obsessed with the fact that the Furious 7 writers have clearly given up on physics? Although it's probably fair to say the writers of the franchise gave up on it a long time ago, right? 11. Are we quite sure Tom Brady's balls weren't deflated? The Seahawks did have to double-check... 12. Speaking of balls, were Katy Perry's beach balls stoned or just really bummed that their beach ball dancing careers were being reduced to this slight bobbing around move? 13. What was with all the heartstring- tugging Super Bowl commercials about dads?! 14. How far has the youth of America fallen that they don't know who Missy
Elliot is? 15. Will we ever get over that Nationwide ad, or will we all forever cower in fear at the thought of insurance due to their dark, depressing commercial? 16. Is everyone else totally game if Jurassic World is just Chris Pratt training raptors for two hours? 17. And finally, did Steven Tyler and Britney
Spears realize how cruel it was to take a reunion photo and remind us what will never be again?! See you next year, sportsball fans. Go athletes!
Don Jazzy in a new song "Oga Titus" where he was featured by his younger brother is said to have taken a swipe on Dbanj after the news broke out that he is owing debt and the recent
Dbanj's interview on "The Truth" with Olisa that he Don Jazzy quit MoHits because of Kanye West deal. In the new song Don Jazzy stated several that "Now Money Don Lost" hitting at the title of the song "Oga Titus" and we all know that Dbanj's nick name is "Eja Nla" which mean "Big Fish" and Titus get fish. "Oga Titus Now Money Don Lost" Here is an excerpt from the lyric below; “Oga Titus is too pompous, you wan try us, now money don
lost, boys are very big boys, you don Bleep up, you wan form boss, kasala don burst, where is oga Titus You take night bus to come Lagos, you go campus, girl are very surplus, you no
hint us, you wan com flex, now money don loss……"
Four costume switches, one pair of sparkly booties, 20-carat diamond earrings, countless crystals and, of course, that sky- high pony: Yep, sounds like a Katy Perry Super Bowl halftime show! The singer's meme-inspiring performance included four custom-outfits by Jeremy Scott, a designer who frequently
uses pop culture as a point of sartorial inspiration for his namesake brand and as the creative director for Moschino. "That's the thing that's so different from high fashion and
runway clothes. She not only has to perform in it and be able to move and not only do different dance moves, she has to slide down a pole at one point," Scott told Style.com in an
interview about his Super Bowl designs. "It's very challenging for any kind of outfit...to be able to balance all that, as well as hide another look completely under it. We definitely had to stretch our imagination in the working on it compared to a normal runway show situation." So let's break down these
looks one-by-one, shall we? Katy took to the stage belting out her hit single "Roar" while riding a mechanical lion (as you do). The star's fiery two-piece get-up featured 3-D flames jutting from her shoulders, as well as intricate flame detailing on the skirt. We also got a first look at her Custom LaDuca
booties, which featured 12,600 Swarovski crystals (all the better to go with her blinged-out mic--all five of them, that is). Next up was the star's beach ball-inspired crop top and
mini combo, which reminded us of other times Katy has gotten creative with her, er, costume nipple coverings. We also got a better view of Katy's over-the-top hair and beauty look,
including her cascading ponytail (with different lengths of human hair sewn in for volume), exaggerated cat eyes, glitter
eye shadow and wine-red lips. Those diamond and platinum studs rang in at a whopping 20-carats, and are from none other than celebrity jewelry favorite Lorraine Schwartz. For a
surprise appearance by rapper Missy Elliott, Katy changed into a bedazzled hoodie boasting the number "49"--a shout-out to
Super Bowl XLIX, of course. "You can't really bounce around in a beach ball while you're trying to get your freak on, you know," Scott quipped of this design, describing the look as a change to something a little more hip hop. And Katy's final look--a stunning, silvery number with a massive star cut-
out--was actually pulled from a Moschino collection. The one- shoulder, figure-hugging confection featured star embellishments and a high-slit, perfect for the star's big "Firework" finale.
Katy Perry's Super Bowl sharks have been revealed! Since Sunday's big Super Bowl halftime show, it seems like everyone
and their mother is talking about Perry's hilarious backup- dancing sharks. But what you don't know is that one of those
sharks is seriously sexy (we're talking a ripped six-pack and all!). Meet Scott Myrick, one of Perry's backup dancers and BFFs. The pro dancer is blowing up online since taking the
Super Bowl stage in that full-body shark outfit. In addition to sharing pics from the Super Bowl halftime show, Myrick has been taking to Twitter to gush over the internet's reaction to
his and Perry's performance. "I MEAN..... THOSE SHARKS # ONFLEEK," Myrick tweeted, followed by, "And that everyone, is
what it feels like to have your heart explode. I've never been more proud to be a part of something in my life...Tonight was
a feeling and moment in time that I will never, ever forget. Thank you for all the support everyone." Myrick also shared some meme photos of himself in the shark getup. "OMG I
MADE IT RT @SincerelyTumblr: Career Goals," he retweeted one fan. He later added, "Thanks be to Jesus, aka @katyperry for this shark takeover. You called it gurllllll." Meanwhile,
Myrick almost didn't get to don the dancing shark costume at all. He actually took over the role last minute. In a reddit Q&A, one of Myrick's fellow backup dancers revealed, "The sharks were originally supposed to be dancers from Mesa Community College but 2-3 days before the performance Katy decided she
wanted her own people in costume." And the rest is Super Bowl shark history.
