Whizzy came top over various artist such as P-Square, Iyanya and Davido to win African Artist of the Year at the just concluded Ghana Music awards. Congrats to dearie.

The 45 years old comedienne and Oscar winning actress has lost so much weight over the last few years, going from almost 300kg to 215kg. Monique says she didn't have surgery just good ol' exercise. Below is what she said on a radio programme recently.

"I tweet every morning, my workouts, because I want women to see - especially us big women - that you don’t have to let them cut you and suck it out, you don't have to let them staple you up, you don't have to let them give you a pill, you don't have to let them put a band around your organs. If you put the work in, baby, I promise you, it comes off."

"I am the best Mo'Nique I've ever been in my life right now. And I still have a ways to go. But I feel amazing.

Here are some of her workout pix... i need me some workouts, i really gat no excuse, lol.

President Jonathan has declared an indefinite state of emergency in three Northern states, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, citing insecurity. He made the announcement in a nationwide live broadcast yesterday evening 14-05-2013 with this declaration, the president has given the military the authority to take over the security of the states, though all political office holders in the states would still continue in office.

President Jonathan said the efforts at dialogue with militants will continue but will take extra ordinary measures to maintain peace. He immediately ordered troops to be deployed to the states to arrest and detain suspected terrorists, take over of suspicious buildings, and detain persons suspected to be in possession of arms. On terrorism, he said:

"We will hunt them down, fish them out and bring them to justice. No matter what it takes, we will win this war against terror"

Honestly i guess this action is long overdue. Just wondering why Nassarawa wasn't also included.

 
Four Nigerian teenage girls - Duro-Aina Adebola (14), Akindele Abiola (14), Faleke Oluwatoyin (14) and Bello Eniola (15) have created something truly incredible, even if it's a little dangerous..:-).

The girls invented a urine powered generator which was showcased at this year's Maker Faire Africa held in Lagos a few days back. According to Maker Faire Africa, an annual event which showcases inventions, the system works like this:

• Urine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates out the hydrogen.
• The hydrogen goes into a water filter for purification, which then gets pushed into the gas cylinder.
• The gas cylinder pushes hydrogen into a cylinder of liquid borax, which is used to remove the moisture from the hydrogen gas.
• This purified hydrogen gas is pushed into the generator.

 1 Litre of urine gives you 6 hours of electricity.

Yeomans, who is from Chichester, was appointed after winning a nationwide search to find the next Sir Richard Branson, the British business mogul.

Charles Soludo, Nigeria's CBN Governor

BE VERY SCARED....YES, says the nation's bank chief.
Whilst allegations and counter-allegations are traded over the House of Reps probe into the capital market crisis, another party, in the person of former Central Bank of Nigeria Governor, Charles Soludo, has come out to deliver something of a prophecy of doom. Appearing before the House of Reps committee investigating the near-collapse of the capital market, he warned that the market would always suffer crashes, unless changes were made.
“Someone is complaining of the rain that beat him yesterday, but look at the sky and another is threatening to start.” he said. “Except

Most containers come in 20- and 40-foot models and generally cost between $1,650 and $3,000 each, depending on size and wear and tear. One-way containers that have only made one passage are usually in the best shape and demand a premium. For residential projects, DeMaria prefers High Cube models, which have a taller 9’6” ceiling.
