Beyoncé's 5th album is exciting for Nigerians because she featured our very own iconic author, Chimamanda Adichie in her new song titled, “Flawless” which is “Track 11″ on the album. Although Adichie isn’t featured in the video, a portion of her rousing speech about feminism was featured in Flawless and it goes thus:

If you're not in or interested in the fashion/modeling scene in Nigeria, this piece of news won't interest you but it's one of the most talked about thing in the modeling industry here. Let me break it down so you will understand why. It's like this, Agency A and Agency B are the two biggest Agencies in a country, then the winner of a competition organized by Agency A leaves the agency to join it's biggest rival, Agency B. That's scandalous, abi? Lol 18 year old Moyin Arowoshola, the winner of Elite Look 2012, organized by Beth Models Agency owned by Elohor Aisien has left the agency to join Isis Models owned by Mrs Okorodudu, who is also the organizer of a similar model context, Nigeria's Next Super Model. Don't know why Moyin made the switch but good luck to her....

Some people are saying this new album is Beyonce's best album yet because Queen Bey didn't hold back at all, it's quite raw and it's actually the number 1 album in 66 countries right now including the US, UK, Australia, France, Germany, Canada, Russia and Japan. Anyway, there's a song in the album titled Partition (track 6) and in the song Beyonce sings explicitly about giving Jay Z 'head' (you all know what that means..hehe) and having him cum all over her. Beyonce sings; Driver, roll up the partition please, I don't want you to see 'Yonce on her knees. It took 45 minutes to get all dressed up. We ain't even gonna make it to this club. Mascara running, red lipstick smudged, Oh he's so horney yeah he wants to f*ck He popped all my buttons and he ripped my blouse and Monica Lewinski'd all on my gown Go Beyonce! Lol. Still can't imagine her doing it tho!

She's gorgeous!

Two days ago you guys read the 18-page stinker Obasanjo wrote to President Jonathan (In case you missed it, enjoy ). Well, here's the thing, online news site Premium Times published the letter first and claimed to have exclusive rights to it. They even watermarked each page of the letter. Punch and other media houses later wrote their own reports and published unwatermarked version of the letter Premium Times is now accusing Punch and all the other media houses of plagiarism, claiming they stole their exclusive and refused to acknowledge them. The Editor-in Chief of the Premium Times, Dapo Olorunyomi, said “Majority of the papers published the complete text of the letter which was first revealed to the world by this newspaper, and made available via our website. There were also cases of shameless lifting of the original story published by this medium. I am weirdly tickled at the absence of humility in competitors who sought to ignore accepting that they got...

After months of 'will she?' 'won't she?', Khloe Kardashian has finally filed for divorce from husband of four years, Lamar Odom. She also filed court documents to restore her name, TMZ reports. In the legal docs, filed by disso-queen Laura Wasser , Khloe cites "irreconcilable differences." And Khloe is asking the judge to take Odom out of her name, so she is once again simply Khloe Kardashian ... eliminating Odom from her life in every way. And, Khloe is not asking for spousal support and wants the judge to reject any bid by Lamar for the same, TMZ reports. Remember their fragrance Unbreakable by Khloe and Lamar? Guess they are breakable after all. Sad to see these two end their marriage. Khloe is rumored to be secretly dating Rihanna's ex, Matt Kemp

She looks nice!

He doesn't bleach? That hand could have fooled me. In an interview with Saturday Punch , former governor of Oyo State Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, denied bleaching his skin and said anyone who says he's bleaching is very stupid. During the interview, a Punch reporter asked him, 'Is it part of your own fashion to bleach?' OMG! Can't believe he asked that question straight up...lol. Big ups to the reporter.  Alao-Akala replied... Bleach? That is stupidity; you are asking a very stupid question, how can I bleach? You are very stupid to ask that question. What do you mean by that? What gave you that impression? (He pulled up his clothe and singlet to show his fair complexion.) Is this bleaching? Have you seen the cream that I use that makes me bleach or did you know me when I was black? So if you want to write that, put it there that I said you are very stupid to ask me that kind of question. Don’t ask that kind of question again. Wha...
