US reality star Kenya Moore headed to Lagos

Image
I'm sure you all are wondering why this is news...well, the former Miss USA and Real Housewives of Atlanta star is dating an African. She confirmed this to Wendy Williams on her show a few weeks back. But the thing is, people are speculating that the African prince is actually a Nigerian. When Wendy asked Kenya if her African prince was one of the Alakija sons, she coyly said no. The prince may not be an Alakija...but he's most likely Nigerian. Kenya was in Nigeria a few times last year and is heading to Lagos as you read this. She posted a pic of her boarding pass on her instagram page a few hours ago. Anyone know who she's seeing in Lagos?

Image
Hajja, once kidnapped by Boko Haram According to a report by PM News, the Boko Haram gunmen who invaded the village of Konduga in Borno on Tuesday evening and killed over 40 people also abducted 20 women. Their report below.. Gunmen from Islamist sect Boko Haram are certainly not waiting for the reward of martyrdom in heaven: the reward of 72 virgins by their creator. They are claiming the reward right here in Nigeria. In their latest deadly assault against Konduga, Borno state, the menacing armed men did not just kill between 43 and 51 people, they also abducted 20 young girls from a local school. Another account said the number of the girls taken was 25. They were said to be keeping the girls as hostages.

National Conference: Preparing for a Marriage, not a Wedding - by Reno Omokri

Image
Another article written by Reno Omokri, Special Assistant to President Jonathan on New Media. Now that the modalities for the National Conference have been released, it is clear that this dialogue is going to be a citizens driven discourse which to every true progressive must be very reassuring, because as most married couples know, it spells disaster for a nuptial union if you spend time preparing for a wedding rather than a marriage. A wedding is a day’s event. A marriage is a lifetime affair. And what Nigeria had on the 1st of January 1914 was a wedding. Recently, I became aware of Brian Tracy's maxim of management which provides that " every minute you spend planning saves ten minutes in execution; this gives you a 1000% Return on Energy ".

Woman whose face was filled with 'cement' by fake plastic surgeon gets help

Image
Rajee Narinesingh, 46, was born a man. He decided he wanted a different life and identity and turned himself to a woman. He didn't like what he looked like as a woman and decided to have plastic surgery done. She didn't have enough money to go to 'dem Beverly Hills 90210 doctors and decided to do what she could afford. The black market plastic surgeon she paid to do the surgery injected 'cement' like filler into her cheeks, lips, breasts and buttocks leaving her face looking deformed. Lol. God forgive me for laughing but it's too funny. The fake doctor who carried out the operation, Oneal Ron Morris, 32, was jailed for a year in January 2014, nine years after she carried out the surgery, after admitting one count of practicing healthcare without a licence. Thankfully for Rajee, after her predicament was made public, a doctor offered to fix her face. Continue..

Redeemed Church to build a university, sports complex, golf course in Texas

Image
Here's an article I found on BBC written by one of their reporters Jason Margolis. See below... For centuries, European and American missionaries have gone to Africa to spread the word of Christ. That trend is now working in reverse, with a Nigerian minister in Texas who plans to build churches as numerous as Starbucks coffee shops. Drive an hour north-east of Dallas, and you will find yourself staring off into a barren, flat horizon. One out-of-place building rises above the landscape: a 10,000-seat auditorium. It is the centrepiece for the Redeemed Christian Church of God in North America. It is one of Africa's largest and most influential Christian movements, claiming more than five million followers worldwide, mostly in Nigeria. Pastor James Fadele, who runs the Church in North America, said God told the Church's leader Enoch Adeboye that its North American headquarters would be founded near Dallas - but not where, and not when.
