“While we do our good works let us not forget that the real solution lies in a world in which charity will have become unnecessary.”- Chinua Achebe
 
 
In 2012, a group of 13 young folks came together and decided to make December special for others by birthing a charity project #ProjectDDD ((Donation Drive 4 December). Last year, they were able to reach out to two orphanages and one home for the elderly. They gathered clothes, food items, shoes and materials from donors for the less privileged. It was such joy putting smiles on the faces of the orphans.

This year, the plan is to reach out to the less privileged in Ajegunle, Lagos. They intend putting smiles on 1000 faces and they need support and help of kind hearted Nigerians to make it happen.
Items needed:

"IT'S A FANTASTIC ACHIEVEMENT" YAYA TOURE WINS 2013 BBC AFRICAN FOOTBALLER OF THE YEAR AWARD.

Toure receives 2013 BBC African Footballer of the Year Award
 
Manchester City/Ivory Coast midfielder, Yaya Toure has piped out Nigeria’s Victor Moses and Mikel Obi, Pitroipa, Gervinho and Solomon Kalou to win the prestigious BBC African Footballer of the Year award. The elated UN ambassador who has been nominated five consecutive years told BBC Sport it’s a fantastic achievement.
“I don’t think there has ever been as many quality African players in top-level international football as there are now:
Aubameyang, Pitroipa, Mikel, Moses, Solomon Kalou, Gervinho… we have fantastic players. I also think African football is improving and that means a lot to us. And as an African, I’m very happy.” He added.
The former Barcelona star also appreciated his teeming fans for their unflinching support. “Thank you to all the fans around the world who continue to support me. It shows how much fans love you and appreciate your job as well. It’s something special because it’s not the vote of the manager or the club or the captain of the national
team, it’s just the fans. When you have a lot of fans behind you, it’s always
amazing. And I’m very happy as it is the fans who have given it to me – so I’m very appreciative.”

CASE CLOSED: UCHE IWUJI&HUBBY REFUTE SPLIT RUMOURS

Read about the story on few blogs/websites few days ago but took it with a pinch of salt because there was no concrete evidence. Following widespread speculation that actress Uche Iwuji and her oil and gas baron hubby, Juwon Lawal have split up, both parties have refuted the tale.

It was widely reported that Juwon relocated abroad (probably temporarily)after learning about his wife's extra marital affairs (with FCMB boss, Ladi Balogun) via nude pictures and text messages. Read their reactions below.

Juwon was taken aback, "Our marriage has crashed? That's very strange. I am hearing it for the first time. Anyway, I don't even have time to be reading all those rubbish. I don't have time for Tales by Moonlight. Maybe when I'm less busy I will invite you for a chat"

Uche Iwuji on the other hand was not really bothered, she set the record straight on her twitter page. "For ur information my hubby has seen the picture before ever meeting wit me so if u dont have anything to talk about pls wish people well! This same picture has been around for a long time even before i met my hubby so why will such a thing wanna crash my marriage! I laugh at some stupid people saying my nude picture crashed my marriage!my hubby and i r still together so u all get a life!am out of here?"

Case Closed!!!
