“I’ve paid a terrible price for vanity and I’ll pay for the rest of my life” – Apryl Michelle Brown

Apryl Michelle Brown had black –market silicone injections which turned out to be bathroom sealant. Teased as a child about her “pancake” bum, Apryl vowed to buy a shapelier one when she was older. After receiving two injections the area where she’d been injected became hard and the skin blackened. Apryl spent 4years in constant pain and finally in June 2011 underwent surgery amputating her buttocks, hands and feet. She shared her story to warn others of the dangers of black market surgery. In her words “we were born whole, perfect and complete”. What are your thots??

Julius D'Genius Lip shines on Thisday Style Cover.

Couldn't help notice the Pink lips! The wonders of make up isn't limited to just the ladies right now as a host of celebs and politicians wear it when shooting video's and making appearances on magazines and interviews. For them its still "No homo!" because to avoid a shiny face before the camera you need to apply powder and that my dear is where make up begins. Julius Agwu recently celebrated his 40years on earth. He looked Daper in his feature, as he was the cover of Sundays THISDAY Style Magazine. For Him its the beginning of the restarting of his career. May his career continually grow in lips leaps and bounds.

STAR STYLE TIP: OMOTOLA'S TIMEless make up @ TIME 100 Gala in New York

No doubt Omotola Jalade- Ekeinde looked amazing in her black number at the TIME 100 Gala but what I love the most is her make up. I mean, of what use is a fabulous dress on a messy face? hun?
To replicate this Look:
1. Choose the right powder that complements your natural skin tone
2. Easy on the brows. No need for the Heavy inverted Nike logo we Nigerian
Make up artist have become guilty of(Covers face). Fill in your brows using a brow filler or brown pencil and blend using a mascara wand or brush.
3. Apply Nude eyeshadow all over eye lid, the crease and eye bone. Stick your strip lashes gently on eye lid. Using black eye liner preferably Kohl pencil, line water line and ensure all coners of the eyes are neatly and properly lined giving a nude smoky feel to your eyes.
4. With a brush gently apply Bronzer on face. Focusing on the T zone(Nose/forehead) and cheeks. A soft dash of Light blush to highlight your cheeks will give the finishing touch.
5. Create a perfect pout by lining the lips with a slightly tinted colour and fill in lips and blend with a nude shade.
#The trick is blending in of the right powder shade, neatly lined eyes, the hint of blush, her slightly tinted lip.

GUL MEENA'S SCARS OF SURVIVAL, VICTORY, SHAME OR HONOUR?

KABUL, Afghanistan — The stitches and bandages are gone, but scars streak across one side of the girl’s face, across her cheek and behind her ear: stark testimony to the brutal attack she barely survived Six months ago.

I stood in shock in front of my TV as I watched the feature on this  young brave lady on CNN. Gul Meena was married off at 12years old to a 60year old man and is a victim of honour killing. Honour killing is the traditional practice in some countries of killing a family member who is believed to have brought shame or dishonour to the family. The teen girl was said to have been attacked with ax by her brother, the full story is even more shocking. Is there any honour in Honour Killings? 

Pastor accused of raping minors at orphanage

A pastor and director of Light of Hope Orphanage at Akute, Ogun State, identified simply as Mr. Atunde, was on Wednesday arrested by policemen from  Zone 2 Command, Onikan, Lagos State for allegedly raping two minors at his orphanage.

PUNCH  Metro learnt that Zone 2 began investigating Atunde after receiving a petition from Project Alert against him.

Project Alert, a non-governmental organisation, said the petition was prompted by a teacher of the school which the minors attended.

One of the minors (name withheld) had allegedly showed up at school in March with blood dripping down her legs.

When questioned by school officials, the minor claimed that Atunde had had sex with her.

AFWL INVITATION

FG set to scrap NECO, cancels UTME

Federal Government has concluded arrangements to scrap the National Examination Council.(NECO)Plans have also been concluded to cancel the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination being conducted by the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board for applicants into the nation’s tertiary institutions. JAMB will however not be scrapped.The government’s decisions, which would be made public soon via a White Paper, are based on the recommendations of the Stephen Oronsaye-led Presidential Committee on the Rationalisation and Restructuring of Federal Government Parastatals, Commissions and Agencies. Whatever the government decides I don't like JAMB. (Not just because I was "JAMBED" severally) If I had my way it will be scrapped. What would you do if you had your way? 

Senegalese woman traffics drugs for lover

 A 33-year-old woman, Kamara Oumou, who was arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, has said she got involved in drug trafficking because of love. (Pls lets be mindfull of the things we do for love biko!)

Oumou, a Senegalese, was arrested last week at the Muritala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos while attempting to board an Arik flight to Dakar after a one-week visit to her Nigerian lover, Hakeem.

Oumou had used industrial tape to strap three parcels of cocaine weighing 515 grammes to her waist, while six wraps of heroin weighing 165 grammes were inserted into her private parts.

NDLEA airport commander, Mr. Hamza Umar, said, “Oumou had in her possession a Senegalese international passport with number, 400680371.

“She was found to be in possession of 680 grammes of narcotic that tested positive for heroin and cocaine. It was carefully concealed but not intelligent enough to escape our detection.”

Oumou, however, said she was not paid money to smuggle the drugs. (It gets more interesting)

PATIENCE JONATHAN IN GERMANY FOR CHECK - UP - FG

Hmmmmm!

#LAGOS CARNIVAL TINS

All about the Lagos Heritage week! Eko oni bgaje ooooo!

THANK GOD AM ALIVE...

Just yesterday, I was driving on the high way, with no traffic, no worries, not even a care in the world the only thing present was that gay, happy feeling you have when you’re driving on Lagos road on a public holiday. Next thing, I hear a loud sound, my car jerks to a halt and but for the grace of God and my seat belts-on I would have flown out through my wind shield. When I looked back, there was no car behind me. At that point could not tell if I was hit by panic or by a car. For a few second I sat silent, smitten by a panic attack, thinking it was typical Lagos "hit and run". I heaved a little sigh of relief to find the family of the man who hit my car asking if I was ok. He was with his wife and kids; they were all just coming from the beach. (Can’t tell how many bottles but I am certain someone had been drinking). They were kind enough to park and come attend to me (there aren't very many nice people in the world today). They were apologetic and have offered to take responsibility for the expenses.  Trust me that does not happen every day. In Lagos some people hit u, insult you and go scot free. I am thankful I am alive. This was one Easter to remember for me. Because He lives, I live. Am alive today only because of His grace.

This is not a public service announcement, but please, do not drink and drive, do not drive without your seat belts on. Save your life and the life and others.

Kim Kardashian described Nigeria as disgusting after she was invited and supposedly paid $500,000 to make an appearance at Dare Art Alade's "Love like a movie concert". The reality Tv star barely spent 20minutes at the event with a 30seconds stage appearance. At least, we now know why she was in such a hurry to leave Nigeria.

Kindly spot the ape in the picture. 

 

SLUM2SCHOOL PRESENTS HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND HYGIENE TO KIDS

Join the Slum2School Project to celebrate the World Water Day on Thurday 28th March 2012, 11am at Makoko Primary School as they teach healthy lifestyle and hygiene to the kids. Dont miss out!

W Factor!

It’s amazing how super powerful a women is. Women are soo powerful that for a man to obtain favor he just has to find a wife. Heehee! It might sound cheesy coming from me because am a lady but by merely looking at simple trends in the world today it is safe to say that there is a level of favour a man will not know until he finds a wife. I mean we all know about the controversy surrounding the gift of automobiles received by Nigerian Celebrity couple; Tuface and Annie Macaulay Idibia but looking beyond the controversies, Tu baba is already one of the biggest in his field and yet he is already experiencing an overflow. I call it an overflow because maybe he could well have afforded the SUV which was presented to them by the Akwa Ibom State Governor Godswill Akpabio on their traditional wedding. And while many where yet to recover from that one, another surprise car gift, the new 2013 Corvette Sports Car gift was presented to them (by only God knows who) at their white wedding in Dubai. You say it is because he is a celeb, others say he is partaking of corruption; I say “He that finds a wife, finds a good thing and obtains favour”. Ok, soo maybe not every man that gets married would attract that level of fanfare and those kind of gifts but the truth remains that the “favour” finding a wife brings goes beyond that which is received on the wedding day. Many men have shared stories of how things just started to fall into place when they found the woman they were going to share their lives with. One of such is the touching an emotional tribute, Jay Z recentlywrote to his wife Beyonce 

The way she has changed my life… If I didn’t have her…? Where would I be? Who would I be? Sometime I wonder if I would still be Jay-Z. It’s so surreal. First time I laid eyes on her she was 16. I had thought in my head “she will be mine”, became my best friend… 20 years old, it was time… before you knew it she made me swallow my pride and my own words bit me in the a**… “Forever mackin’ – 8 years later, married, one kid. She saved me”

At this juncture I think I rest my case on that. LMAO! hahaa! I know some dudes will soon think quickly to setup a wedding. Don’t be in such a hurry as to end up with the kind of woman that reduces a man to a crust of bread. More so, certain things have to be put in place, like a steady source of income, a house (or a budget for the house) which she will make a home and the readiness to leave and cleave. That said, there is always a set time for all things love and marriage so in the mean time get wisdom, get understanding … exalt her, and she will promote you; she will bring you honour… and place on your head an ornament of grace. Guys! dont you just love women???
