Nigeria's super eagle coach Samson Siasia FIRED

    Siasia's contract came under threat as soon as the Nigeria's national team, the Super Eagles,  failed to qualify for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
   The executive committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) ratified the decision to sack the coach on Friday 28/10/2011

HIAN!! na wa o. LOL. 

I know that match really pained me o, it was very painful to watch but is sacking Siasia the solution??

I can't say much on this so help me out here.. is this a wise decision by NFF?

THE HAIR SALON TO LOVE -> NATURES GENTLE TOUCH HAIR INSTITUTE

             This is who I am:

 I find something good that I love, I definitely have to share and trust me when I say you'll most definitely love whatever I share.

 EHEN!! last year, I had a problem with my hair. It was breaking seriously because of some factors(e.g weather) where I was studying and I had VEXED and decided to go natural which isn't a bad thing. The only problem was that I could not bring myself to cutting any part of my hair(you don't want to see me on low cut).
  When I came to Nigeria last year July for the summer holiday, my friend introduced me to a salon she felt could help my hair. At that time, I was ready to relax my hair and be good to it so I decided to try it out and oh boy! was i grateful.

NATURES GENTLE TOUCH is the name of the salon 

and I have been religiously going there for anything that has to do with my hair for more than a year now.

They do not fix weavon there or do ghana braids and its likes. They are just dedicated to taking care of the hair God has given us and I love them :D.

Relaxer- 1000naira

washing(which includes deep conditioning,steaming,straightening/setting,trimming if needed and proper styling)- 1000naira with their product and 1500 if you come without their product. They'll use their product for you, I am not sure they'll agree to use any other product.

relaxing(which includes everything washing includes) - 2000naira and i think student price is 1500naira

If you are going there for the first time, one of the hair specialist will have a look at you hair (forgotten the term for it) and then tell you which products of theirs to buy.

   They offer other services like dyeing and cutting hair to style but I have no idea how much those ones cost. 

In my opinion, these prices are pretty cool for the services and did i mention the hair stylist takes his/her time to make your hair fab.. NO?? okay, that's like their problem. They never want to hurry o and you know some of us want everything done SHARP SHARP .lol Anyways, my friends and I have learnt to plan well as trying to rush the hair stylist hardly ever works unless of course its some serious emergency.

     

  

yes, you do not pay anything extra to get your hair styled this way.

    This is me rocking my hair. I care more about a healthy looking hair than anything else and if i can achieve that then I'm so glad.

  

and that's it!!!

my free advert for my favorite hair salon :D

Natures Gentle touch is also the official hair salon for MTN lagos fashion and design week and I learnt they'll be at the exhibition at Eko hotel from wed-saturday from 10am-5pm. 

For those with natural afro, I think they work on that as well.

Well,My friend ,Joke, has a fantastic blog where she shares her natural afro secrets so you can check it out.

VIDEO OF THE CHINESE TODDLER THAT GOT RUN OVER BY TWO TRUCKS AND IGNORED BY SEVERAL PASSERS-BY

       I read about this before and felt really bad but just found the video on youtube and thought I should share. I feel so bad that something as terrible as this happened. How is it possible that a toddler is hit by a bus, ignored by passers-by, later on hit by a truck  and then ignored by several passers-by. GOSH!! 





"Footage is taken from a surveillance camera presented on local TV shows Yue Yue was walking in a hardware market in Foshan, Guangdong province, on Thursday, about 100 meters away from her home, when she was run over by a van at 5:26 pm.

The girl was then run over by a light-duty truck. The riders of four electric bicycles, a tricycle and three passers-by all chose to ignore her and no one at a shop close to the scene came to her aid.

Seven minutes after she was first hit by the van, a 57-year-old rag collector noticed the girl and moved her to the curb. The woman then tried talking to the shopkeeper but received no response. When she ran from shop to shop for the identity of the girl, the rag collector was told by a number of shopkeepers to mind her own business.


She then walked into the street and a few seconds later, the girl's mother appears and rushes away with the girl.

The girl received emergency surgery in Foshan before being transferred to the General Hospital of the Guangzhou Military Command of the People's Liberation Army in Guangzhou on the same day.

The incident is the latest example of passers-by acting indifferently to victims injured in crimes. In this case, some blamed the parents for letting the girl walk on the street alone. More criticized the phenomenon of people passing by without helping, caused at least in part by previous extortion attempts from the injured and their families who have sometimes tried to blame the person helping.


-------------- 16 / 10 / 2011 News Update --------------

Chinese authorities have supposedly have caught the first driver (the second is no worse in my opinion). "If she is dead, I may pay only about 20,000 yuan ($3,125). But if she is injured, it may cost me hundreds of thousands yuan," said the driver over the phone to the media, before he gave himself up to the police.

The girl has been pronounced "brain dead" by doctors and remains on life support in intensive care.

"She couldn't breathe on her own," said Wen Qiang, deputy director of the ICU department.

The most optimistic estimate is that the girl will remain in a vegetative state on life support.



-------------- 17 / 10 / 2011 News Update --------------

Police have detained both drivers.


-------------- 17 / 10 / 2011 News Update --------------

Unconfirmed reports that the toddler died on 16 / 10 / 2011:
"...doctors said the girl died yesterday from severe brain injuries she had suffered in the accident." " 
-copied from the info attached to the youtube video

its indeed a wicked world and according to the statement made by the driver, he is sure hoping she dies so he can be asked to pay less.
*sigh*

may her soul rest in perfect peace.

NIGERIAN BET CYPHER(MALE/FEMALE) VIDEO

     The clear version of the  Naija BET cypher is out now. I love rap to an extent , love the way good rappers play with words and then make u scream "wooo!!" lol. Anyways, those of you that haven't seen it, here it is - the male & female versions in one.
 KUDOS!! to IBKSpaceshipBoi (winner of don jazzy's enigma challenge)who made the beat.






  I respect all of them on the cypher, they all tried but I have my favourites.
Male cypher: Mode9!!!!!!! yes BOSS :D , MI then XO did it for me in that order and Naeto C is my least favourite.
 Actually, there were some people that were not sure about XO's lyrics in this cypher including me but I found his lyrics as one of the comments for this video on youtube and I found it interesting but the thing is you have to be audible and deliver your lines well for people to get you.
oh well, thought I should share XO's lyrics with you all.
"The Outlook’s bright, that’s the Word, all I do is Excel And Casey Anthony rappers, my flow should be on the pill The Lyrical Dangote, even Aliko couldn’t get on this ‘bill’ Last year I watched this from my office – now I’m here – Surreal! Pray for me, I’m spittin’ in a sick way, and I’m (Azikwe Nnamdi) – Truth! Yeh “We Are Africans – Awoo!” But the rap crown was roaming (Roman) and so I ceased her (Caesar) – Poof! Talking ‘racks on racks on racks’? ‘Maybachs on bachs on bachs’?Not stopping ’til Fortune companies hire Blacks on Blacks

Dagrin and Amy Winehouse, RIP!

Now “Back to Black” E.T.

I B-E-T that if yo B C’s D’s (b****/baby sees these)

She will press ‘pause’ (paws) on me, like I’m E-V-E

The sickest lyricist to spit it infinite in minutes is winning would dream it like Hakeem but now like Brixton I’m “innit” (in it)

U see I sawed this beat, its now an eye sore in the I.C.U.

Buzzing ’bout who the best be(e)?

I’m all 3 … Minus 2!"

so I found this writeup and I agree with whoever put it up 

"BET cypher is not about finding rhymes from nursery books. It is much about your creativity with story telling and how you can find good word plays to push it. I looked at all the cyphers and i find the Nigerian cypher the weakest(I am Nigerian lol). It just hurt that the truth is not always supported in Nigeria just the way our politicians use bias to put people to lead industries when we have world class managers everywhere in Nigeria and abroad.  If we really want to set a bench mark for hiphop in Nigeria, we should get a cue from Mode. He leads the next rapper in Nigeria with a long stretch.

Mode 9 - I got introduced to his songs by a friend who was a big fan. After hesitating at first, i decided to give it a try and that was it. For years, i have seen arguments on who tops him in Nigerian hip hop but i am ashamed to see that we Nigerians, though claim to know one or two things about rap are just plain commercial. We don't appreciate conscious music. I wonder how Asa managed to sell albums in the country.  He is straight classic and would go pound for pound with any American MC.

M.I. - On the average, he did not disappoint compared to the other guys, but i think he was trying too hard. A real hardcore rap is mostly about punchlines and fluidity rather than vocabularies. M.I's intro was good though. (Reference to Joe Budden on the Slim 2.0 cypher)....

Sauce Kid - My love for sauce kid does not go beyond rap. I just like him as a rapper and i can acknowledge his ability but he always come to most as an underperformer rather than one with no rap skills. He did not do badly on the cypher and he managed to have a story line rather than finding rhymes like others were doing...

Ice Prince - A rare combination of poor rapability and childish punchlines. NO storylines. He reminded me of some 9ice's songs who gathers adages from wherever to make a song. He DEFINITELY has no....

X.O. - To most people, he came as a disappointment on the cypher after so much hype. I really don't think he did that bad rapability wise and story lines, its just that he wasn't audible enough. There is something wrong with his accent. It came bad on that particular cypher. If he would make another cypher,....

Naeto C - I love him as a Nigerian artist, i don't think he has what it takes to go on the world stage. He is only going to be a bomb waiting to explode. He should feed us with more swag in naija and we will be appreciative of that. "

  For the ladies, they all tried too and they looked really good. EVA killed it for me.. love her plenty and I just didn't get SASHA smh.. by the way, does anyone know why retta was in that video? x_x.

what do you think?

A BLOG TO LOVE -> musings of a caramel latte addict

 I admire writers a lot, the way they are able to tell a story so well that I'll actually be in tears by the time I'm done reading amazes me. Well, I came across a great blog today and I just have to share it with you all as I have spent a considerable amount of time today reading posts on the blog and "musing" with the blogger.

 MUSINGS OF A CARAMEL LATTE ADDICT-> http://temiville.wordpress.com/

The blogger

She tells her stories(most on relationships and marriage) so well that you almost forget its fiction and the great part is she brings in the Word of God to help her readers understand more and learn a whole lot.

She reminds me of my brother(last born) who has suddenly become wiser than everyone in the house :D and constantly takes me to  the Bible when he is trying to make me understand some real life issues.Anyways, I found her stories amazingly true and worth reading and I hope you check it too 'cos you'll definitely find it interesting.

http://www.bellanaija.com/2010/11/10/bn-prose-the-waiting-by-temiloluwa-adebayo/ - her write up on bella naija which currently has over 170 comments. made me cry *sigh* i cry a lot, i know!!

Her top 10 most popular posts according to a wordpress feature/gadget:

Never again!

What would you have done?

Things are not the same as before

Too tall for a girl

Lukewarmness…Why can\’t I \’just there\’?

I found this in one of her posts ...interesting...:

"No amount of love a man has for you can ever stop him from cheating on and mistreating you.

 Only the degree of love he has for GOD can stop him from hurting you. 

He treats you well as a sign of his reverence and commitment to God. 

You are simply a beneficiary of his unflinching obedience to the Word of God which says, 

husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the Church. 

Therefore, you should focus on the degree of love that man has for God, not for you"

In other news, I LOVE ANDREA BOCELLI and I leave you with a great song THE PRAYER by Andrea that he performed with Celine Dion

much love,

'I have breast cancer,' reveals E! presenter Giuliana Rancic at 37

Rancic made the announcement on NBC's Today Show this morning, admitting she will undergo surgery later this week.

She said: 'Through my attempt to get pregnant through IVF, we sadly found out that I have early stages of breast cancer. It's been a shock.'

Rancic and her husband Bill were preparing to undergo a third round of IVF treatment after two failed attempts when a doctor asked her to undergo a mammogram. 

She explained: 'I wasn't prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old, like I'd been told. I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong. It was just a kick in the stomach.'

Recalling the moment she found out, Rancic said: 'I went into the hospital in L.A., when they came in to tell me, they said it pretty quickly, they just said, "I'm sorry, you have breast cancer."

'It's what you expect, but so much more, it was like, incredible instant sobbing and the world just crashed down around me. I couldn't believe it - 36 years old, no family history? I couldn't believe it.'

After her lumpectomy, Rancic will undergo six weeks of radiation therapy.

And despite her illness, Rancic is hopeful she and her husband will be able to resume IVF after her cancer treatment.

She said: 'I still want this baby ... because this baby has saved my life. I truly feel God was looking out after me... If I had gotten pregnant later down the line, I could have been a lot sicker.' [*pregnancy would have made the cancer spread faster*]

I thank God the doctors detected it on time and I pray for her that God will see her through, give her and her husband the strength.

My heart also goes out to others fighting cancer. May God see them through and may they come out strong. 

much luv,
