EVICTED

The countdown is on, as the Grand Finale for Knorr Taste Quest season 1 is just two weeks away.  Last week, it was a double eviction as Chidi and Tolulope were sent packing by the judges. This week saw all the contestants visibly shocked as the secret ingredients were revealed to them, especially Saratu Mamman, who was in tears and kept shaking her head when she saw live crabs in her bowl. 
  

The crabs were not the only ingredients that got the contestants worked up as there was also; Periwinkle, Palm kernel, Sweet Potatoes, Beef, Mango, Pasta and Leak. Eight ingredients to make a starter and a main course. 

 

The starter had to be a sea food cooked with Knorr Soup seasoning, while the main dish had to be cooked with Knorr Stew seasoning. Both courses had to have at least five ingredients each and the time given to achieve this daunting task was 1 hour 7 minutes.

During the show, Head Judge, Dr Roberts emphasized that this episodes task will be judged based on the taste and presentation of their food as well as strict adherence to the instructions given.  Also joining the judging panel as a guest judge was Ms Tokini Peterside, a lifestyle consultant and self professed food lover. 

After the allotted cooking time, the contestants were able to present some form of harmony between all the ingredients as follows:  Lalu; a leak and periwinkle sauce which was described as very nice, along with pasta and beef; Greg made crab meat pasta and periwinkle soup for his starter, while he made banga soup with a sweet potatoe mash for his main meal. This was a good risk for him, as the judges praised both meals. Patricia made a starter of mango and periwinkle, with the pasta and banga as her main course; Saratu on the other hand made a periwinkle, banga and pasta starter, and a main course of mash potatoes and fried crab meat, her meal however didn’t get any good review from the judges. Finally, Ifeyinwa made a starter of mango puree with crab cake, and pasta in palm kernel sauce. 

After the judges’ deliberation, Dr Roberts surprisingly announced that for the first time in the show, no winner would emerge as none of the food presented was good enough to win the task. Unfortunately however, there was still a loser, and Saratu was asked to pack her knives for eviction as the judges gave her meal the least compliments, and felt her reaction to seeing the live crabs was disappointing. 

Knorr Taste Quest is still showing on the following stations; STV on Saturdays at 8.30pm, Dstv Ch 155 on Saturdays at 8.00pm,  AIT on Sundays at 5.00pm, Galaxy on Sundays at 8.00pm, E-Stars (Startimes) on Sundays at 7.30pm and OnTV on Sundays at 6.30pm.

'Dead' prostitute wakes up & jumps out of coffin en route to morgue

A prostitute in Zimbabwe 'died' during a hotel romp with a client - only to come back to life as her body was being put in a coffin. The vice girl reportedly collapsed during a sex session last week at the Manor Hotel in Bulaweyo. Convinced she was dead, her shocked client called the police - who sent paramedics to collect the body. 

But as they were loading the 'corpse' into a metal coffin, the hooker suddenly woke up screaming. 
Local news reports claim she leaped from the casket, yelling: "You want to kill me, you want to kill me". LMAO. Continue reading...


Terrified staff and guests at the hotel who had gathered to watch the scene unfold, fled in panic. 
A source told Bulaweyo24 News: "It was like a movie. People were running away in different directions. It was a scary incident because we were all convinced that she had died because she was just cold. Miracles surely do happen." 

The shaken hooker - known locally as MaNdlo - was escorted home by another prostitute.

KARDISHIAN

National Enquirer also thinks Kim is faking her pregnancy? Doesn't look fake to me. And that Kourtney story...oh dear...!

LYNXXX

With a body like that, how can any woman under 30? turn him down? :-). Below is what he told City People in a recent interview:
Have you ever been turned down by a lady?
Lynxxx: No
Even in your KC days? (He attended Kings College)
I haven't ever been turned down because I always make sure there is green light first. And my game was too much then. Now I don't even have time to be chasing women. I am just focused on my music.
On marriage
I am trying to settle down as I am getting older. It is only right you settle down because when you are exposed to this kind of attention, it's very easy to go off track. And you don't know if the women want you for who you are or for your money or for your fame or to destroy you. You are a target once you are famous. So you have to be very smart and don't get exposed in a negative way.

CHARLY BOY. LASHES NAGERIANS "MY OGA @ THE TOP"

t’s unfortunate, this article is coming in late. This is because I almost ignored the racket “ My Oga at the top” generated. However, because of some salient lessons in the whole joke, I have decided to hit you with this.

Even though, my ways may be very different from yours, I still believe we must be objective in our analysis, judgment, and conclusion about others. The NSCDC Commandant,  Mr. Shem’s experience in the hands of Nigerians and the Channel TV personalities cannot be too different from what many of us face on a daily bases.

Some of us have been arbitrarily judged, smashed, squeezed, criticized, and battered for several years because we have failed to be who they want us to be. Different darts and missiles have been thrown at us because they chose to judge us from the first impression they conceived about us. What insult haven’t we received? They will try to judge you by the few words they hear from your mouth. When you use signs and symbols to communicate national issues, they misconstrue every bit of it as you are either tagged the head of Nigeria Illuminati, or they may even try to put your sexuality to question. However, we still love them, and still fight for them even when they don’t really understand why we are here. Some have not even realized the need to hold on to the reality that confronts them today, instead, they are committed to producing gunpowder for the celebration of individual blunder, and they swiftly push national blunder aside.

Yes, the NSCDC Commandant goofed, he failed to give the correct NSCDC website, he wanted his oga at the top to announce that personally, hence he couldn’t go ahead to announce it, as his oga may end up announcing another one later. At first, it appeared to me as if he didn’t understand the question until he got to the point of providing the URL of the website, and then we all laughed when he was unable to provide the web address as demanded. We all laughed at his little or no IT knowledge, and not really because he is not competent enough to do his job. We all laughed because he had displayed some level of confidence right from the beginning of the interview till the point he was to give the website details.

However, is it enough to have made it a trending topic on twitter and on other social sites for days? I must say that we have all failed by pushing aside the lesson and the message of the controversial interview. If you don’t know, the message is simple; there is a systemic failure. We have all failed our country. We have even failed to channel our heavy online presence towards a more positive direction. We have failed to understand that the entire system has no structure as it stands now. If that is not the case, why were we not intelligent enough to see beyond Mr. Shem’s failure and begin to reflect over leadership failure, using the social media platform? It has always remained this way, where only few of us can speak our minds in a country where mediocrity reigns supreme. We have failed to see how mediocre now flood the civil service , but all we are now looking at ,is just Mr. Shem’s blunder. Why???

Members of staff in several organizations know little or nothing about their organization. They can’t even tell ‘categorically’ like Mr. Shem, whether they have an existing or functional website. How effective are various media units that are scattered across different Ministries in the country? NSCDC should even thank God that it was Mr. Shem who failed, and not their media unit, because such would have been possible. I know that majority of Nigerians that work in the civil service are not up to date with the internet social world, as they believe in doing things the old way. You won’t even blame Mr. Shem for not being able to give the correct web address or not being able to add dot.com, because the NSCDC Website, prior to the controversy was almost dormant. How would you expect one to know a website that doesn’t exist or non-functional?

But my pain is simply that we have all failed to tackle the most pressing issues of the day, falling into the trap and deception of the phrase “My oga at the top”. We have been so deceived and then became so careless about our safety, laughing hysterically; with our eyes gazed at “My Oga at the top” until the dreaded Boko Haram found a way to shoot us with their arrows. We laughed until we forgot that we have urgent national issues to address, and the faceless ones hit us hard again in the city of Kano.  What a shame!

While we were busy gossiping, creating cartoons, producing T. Shirts, and cooking beats in the studio to ridicule just a single individual, we lost millions of naira at the Murtula Mohammed Airport, Lagos to some armed men who stormed the airport, harassing both Nigerians and foreigners. I heard they had a swell moment at the airport. You can’t just imagine that armed robbers could succeed even in an International Airport. Where is safe then? “Yet, we were busy with My oga at the top”

While we took the joke to another level, the Boko Haram militants also saw our weaknesses and carefree attitude, and they hit us hard, killing well over 60 people in the Kano bomb attack. They beat all security apparatus in place in the volatile city, because, we refused to watch our back as we were laughing at “ My Oga at the top”

In our usual carelessness, when some people were demanding for amnesty for some faceless people, we kept mummed, because we were only interested in “Oga at the top.” We refused to ask questions on why some people should be advocating for this group.

As good, committed, and patriotic citizens, couldn’t we have embarked on a campaign against violence using the social media platform for that purpose? How many of us are willing to laugh at some of the ogas in the North who have sold the future of our children in the name of leadership tussle? How many of us have been able to tell the Northern leaders that they have failed their people for giving some terrorists the supports they really do not deserve? Yet, we still talk about “My Oga at the top”

These are no time for such jokes as we have better and serious issues to address as Nigerian youth and children. Enough of this “My oga at the top” Stop the rubbish now! Let’s ask them some questions on why we must continue to bury our ourselves.

NAIJA BOYS

                                                                                      

 A LIB reader spotted this around the Ikotun axis in Lagos. Some Nigerians sef! :-)

NATO C AND BABY

Thanks to Everyone for all the messages…words aren't honestly enough to express this moment…it's ironic especially for someone like myself who is used 2 putting words Together…maybe later…but right now i’m just Thanking God with my Family and enjoying my son’s company! I wish you all similar moments at some point(s) in your lives!“ Thank you so much for the love and support. May your lives be filled with endless joy.

THE MUSIC BIG BOYS

1. Diddy - $580 million: The bulk of the Bad Boy Records founder’s wealth comes from non-musical ventures, namely his deal with Diageo’s Ciroc. The agreement entitles him to eight-figure annual payouts and a nine-figure windfall if the brand is ever sold—and Ciroc’s value has never been higher

2. Jay Z - $475 million: He’s still rolling in cash from megadeals like his $204 million Rocawear sale in 2007 and his $150 million pact with Live Nation the following year. He continues to hold stakes in Roc Nation, Carol’s Daughter, the Brooklyn Nets and, more significantly, the Barclays Center itself, while adding new partnerships with the likes of Duracell, Budweiser and Bacardi’s D’ussé Cognac

See the last three after the cut...

3. Dr Dre - $350 million: It's thanks mostly to his Beats by Dr. Dre headphones. A year after selling 51% of the company to handset maker HTC for $300 million in August 2011, Dre and his partners bought back half of the half they sold in 2012—and their investment continues to soar in value due to Beats’ whopping 65% market share of the premium ($99 and up) headphone market.

4. Bryan “Birdman” Williams - $150 million: Riding from his Cash Money/Young Money empire. His roster includes Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne (the latter crossed the $100 million threshold for the first time this year, by our estimates, but remains just outside the top five). Birdman also recently launched a YMCMB clothing line and a spirit called GT Vodka.

5. 50 Cent - $125 million: The bulk of his fortune came from heavy sales of his music, merchandise, video games and books in the wake of his smash debut Get Rich or Die Tryin’- and particularly from his payout for the sale of his stake in VitaminWater parent Glacéau to Coca-Cola in 2007.

JESSE JAGZ

If you missed Nigerian Idol show this past Saturday and Sunday, you missed two utterly engaging shows. Not only was the comeback queen with nine lives, aka Safeeyat, saved by the judges, the contestants gave the performances of their lives, and, Jesse Jagz was in the building. 

It was an off-the-charts weekend for the show, and though the elimination night was definitely a shocker with Safeeyat ousted in a shocking elimination, she was saved by Jeffrey Daniel, Yinka Davies and Femi Kuti, using up the one lifeline of the competition.

BANKYW

The singer and music label exec is a year older today Wednesday March 27th. He's celebrating with friends in Dubai. Happy birthday to him and many more successful years ahead.

SANDRA VS MIKEL OBI

                                    
Sandra has reacted to reports she's getting married to Mikel Obi. See it below...

This is to inform the general public that the current stories foretelling a proposed wedding between I, Sandra Okagbue, and Mikel Obi, is entirely incorrect.  There has never been such a proposal between either of us let alone an agreement, or even a wedding date as rumored. “There is no truth in the reports that Mikel Obi and I are getting married.”

If and when these two marry, I will be the first to send you photos...:-) See the rest of her denial after the cut...

There have been too many false stories about me in the papers, and several blogs. My name has been linked with several people whom I am supposedly familiarly linked with. Some of these false reports even went as far as claiming that my family house was bought by these imaginary suitors. This is disheartening. I come from a reputable royal family and, we are a hardworking people. We have achieved all we have through faith in God and hard work.

I will like to implore the respectable ladies and gentlemen of the press to please always officially verify whatever information they would like to publish about me before publishing.T

Thank you for your usual support.

                                                      WAJE'S NEW SONG (I WISH)
The singer recently shot the music video for her hit single ‘I wish’. directed by Clarence Peters. The video explores Waje’s deep emotional core with themed scenes never been done before on Nigerian TV.

A few highlights to look out for? Waje the black bride with the funkiest chandeliers you ever saw. There is also Waje, all bare and vulnerable with nothing but her heart to cover her. The video for I wish drops Thursday 28^th March, Waje’s album is due in the final week of April.
