Kanye's call for boycott of LV fails miserably. Fashion brand sells out

Image
It seems like quite a number of people don't like Kanye and they spent their money to prove it. A few days after he called for a boycott of giant fashion brand Louis Vuitton, the exact opposite of what he was hoping for happened. Louis Vuittion sold out and a new record was even set for online sales. After Kanye West told people to not buy any Louis Vuitton until after January the company took action and sent an e-mail to their best customers who responded in a huge way. The company says that sales surged this week and when final numbers came in that a new record was set for online sales and that customers responded to the attack by Kanye by coming to the brand for the first time and there were many small transactions by people who wanted to show their support for anything that is anti-Kanye." CDN reports During that radio interview Kanye said "They think I don't realize my power." Guess he's not as influential as he thinks he is.

US rapper Wale explains why he's never been to Nigeria until now

Image
In a radio chat with Toolz on Beatfm yesterday, Wale said the reason he's never been to Nigeria until now was because his parents, who are both from Ondo state, were so poor they couldn't afford a bring him home. "I grew up poor. We lived in DC, in the projects. Getting a ticket to Nigeria on $20, 000 income yearly, to my family that wasn't really... you know...like I was a 15 year old with a decent job, I'm not going to save up to go to Nigeria. That wasn't what I was thinking when I was that age. And then I was in college and the money tight right then. And then I get this record deal when I dropped out of school, you're running around so much you don't even have time to see your own parents"

Well, now Saheed has reportedly gone to court to get her to drop the name. Can the courts really force her to drop her ex-husband's name? And why is Saheed so insistent on this, how does it affect him?

  Forget her "I don't care attitude".Nicki Minaj has been holding it down with one man Safaree Samuels(boyfriend,hypeman & manager), since she hit the limelight. The reason isn't far-fetched. He was the one who believed in her before she became Nicki of today. He hustled with her mix-tapes and struggled to get her deals before Lil Wayne came across  her songs in a mixtape..The rest is history. You see him in all her videos and trips together..Infact when she first hit gold back in 2011. she bought matching bentleys for the both of them Now to show his undying love for her, he just got a 6-hour long tattoo of her face on his arm. He said "A lot of people out there tattoo somebody that they don’t know. Why not tattoo somebody that I know, you know? *looks at left arm* The Bob Marley? I don’t know what I was thinking So it isn't just ladies who should stick with a man when he has nothing, men should do same too...

Image
During a press briefing in Abuja this morning, the acting Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike told journalist that the Federal Government has given the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) one week ultimatum to call off the ongoing strike.

Dear LIB readers; My wife changed after we got married

Image
From a male LIB reader... I met my wife whilst on a business trip to Abuja last year. To say she was stunning is an understatement but what attracted me to her was the attention she gave her body, watched her weight, smelt nice and was particular of her general looks. I married her nine months after we began dating and then everything changed. My once beautiful and trendy lady lost all that dazzle immediately we got married. She stopped using makeup and fragrance. She seemed to no longer care how she looked and for me that was one of the things I saw that made me fall in love and marry her. Now it appears all that has gone and it really saddens me. I feel like she used all that body attention to lure me and as soon as we got married decided to show her true nature. I've complained so many times but she doesn't seem to care. Its been six months we've been married and am already fed up and irritated with this new person. I'm no longer attracted
