The war against Islamic sect, Boko Haram is still on in the North-Eastern part of Nigeria. The order given to the Nigerian Army by Senate in response to the very recent brutal killing of about 59 students in Yobe is a proof.In May 14, 2013 the Federal Government declared a state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, just to curb this brutality. Now in this photo, two soldiers are seen running away from a relatively harmless Zebra, with all the muscles in their body. Their legs are almost touching their heads. Na wa o. Are these the ones that would go and fight the insurgents in the North. God help us. Let me assume they have phobia for Zebras or they are running because they are not with guns. Hehehe! That aside, Soldiers were seen marching along the streets of Lagos this early morning. I actually thought they are supposed to be in the North fighting to restore peace?or is that mobilization trek in readiness for action? Whatever the case may be, there is no time, make them prepar

You Think You Wear Heels? Check Out This One!

Daphne Guinness, who is 46years old and an heiress to the mighty Guinness family fortune, was seen on the streets of New York rocking these bizarre looking shoes yesterday.The cold winter weather notwithstanding, Daphne appeared in these very high heeled shoes with tiny black shorts, tights, black leather and a fur coat. The lady looked so relaxed and comfortable in the towering heels. How she was able to stand to her feet in the shoes, and even walk in them was everybody’s wonder. In the world of fashion, anything is possible. Hmm! I clap my hands and feet for her for wearing these shoes with style and grace even at her age. Am not sure I would try these shoes for any thing in the world.

1 Omotola Jalade-Ekiende was recently on the media over here teenage daughter, Meraiah Ekeinde. Yes, the actress was seriously warning those calling her 14 year old daughter hot, to put an end to it. This is because of the profane photo of the teenager that was going around the nook and cranny of the media. The girl was considered hot by some, and to some others was becoming rotten for her age. I guess Omotola was grieved about the way people were beginning to see the girl. Well, she was tackled anyway, as she was told to go and put her home in order and not blame people for her own faults as a mum. So she has already started taking reasonable steps regarding that, by deleting the havoc picture to correct the way people see her child. Good move if you ask me rather than quarreling.
