The sub-head ‘OMG its Akon’ is eliciting the right reaction(s). Most people would see Akon’s appearance as unbelievable, his rich smile and innocent look has done justice to the cover.
Meanwhile, veteran diva Yinka Davies’ youthful and divine look has left me speechless. Really digging it. Most especially the hair and the makeup. Awesome job!!!

Fidel Frizzy, a young and talented Abuja-based kid, schools in Jos. Frizzy’s punchlines and wordplay has caught the attention of so many within a very short period of time.
For the lovers, Fidel teams up with singer X-Ella to create the Butta produced “You Are”. Firstly, the piano led instrumentation does not get better, followed by the well delivered rap verses and “X” doing justice on the chorus. This is not just another love song, it is the love song.

Abdulmutallab who pleaded guilty to a failed terrorist attack in October showed no signs of remorse but he rather called it a revenge mission against United States for their ill treatment of muslims.

The notice of appeal was posted on Friday in the electronic court record for federal court in Detroit.
The Ivorian who left his Marseille club and joined Chelsea 8 years ago got mouth-watering offer at Shanghai Shenhua, a Chinese club where former Blues team-mate Nicolas Anelka now plays.
But rather than leave the club, the striker said "I'm really happy where I am. I belong to Chelsea. For me, that's what matters. Everyone knows I want to stay in blues and everybody knows I love the club and the fans."

Farouk Abdulmutallab, the young Nigerian who tried to blow up a US-bound airliner on Christmas Day in 2009 has been sentenced to life imprisonment.
“I am guilty of this count in US law but not in the Koran,” he said in a six-minute speech on the second day of his trial.
The bomb hidden in his underwear failed to properly detonate and instead simply caused a fire as the plane began its descent, passengers and crew members were able to restrain him, extinguish the blaze, allowing pilots to safely land the plane.
On monday his counsel filed a motion seeking a lesser sentence with the argument that life in prison is unwarranted
But the U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds, who was due to sentence Abdulmutallab in a hearing today declined to consider a lesser sentence than life in prison.
Just few days Ago, Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi mentioned that only fit players would be invited to participate in the AFCON qualifiers. “We have three major qualifiers, there is CHAN 2012, AFCON 2013 and the World Cup qualifiers, so we are just building and everyone would get a chance but right now only fit players will be invited”. He avowed
He stated further that”My list will consist of only players who are in action every week.”
According to a reliable source, Chelsea midfielder, Mikel Obi has been ruled out of the game and replaced with Blackburn Rovers striker, Yakubu Aiyegbeni.
Though Yakubu has been occupying the back seat ever since he missed a sitter against South Korea at the 2010 world cup but he’s been putting up performances in his club especially this season. Mikel on the other hand has been largely missing. This to a large extent could be the criterion the coach used.
Below is the list of the players to represent Nigeria in Rwanda on the29th of February for the first leg of AFCON 2013 qualifier
Vincent Enyeama,
Joseph Yobo,
Taiye Taiwo,
Dickson Etuhu,
