"I'm Very Proud Of My Daughter On #BBATheChase" - Beverly Osu's Mom Speaks Out


    In a recent interview with Encomium Magazine,Charity Owoh the best friend of Nigerian rep to         #BBATheChase, Beverly Osu, has disclosed that Beverly's mum is very proud of her daughter's antics on the show. She also cleared doubts on whether or not 2shotz is the rapper whom Beverly claimed beat her blue black recently. Read excerpts of what she told Encomium after the cut:
"Bev and her mum are best friends. Her mum just called me now, she's our best friend. She's like the third person in our circle because whatever we do we tell her. If you watch the show you will see that there are three people she calls every time, Charity, Denrele, and mummy Suzy. Their relationship is very tight. Before Bev dates anybody, she tells her mom. (About Bev and Angelo's relationship/sex) She knows. She has seen everything. There's the good and bad, of course she's a mother so she would feel the way mother's would feel but she's very proud of her daughter and says she's a queen. She's already redecorating her room, so she would welcome her back like any mother would.
"Bev can handle controversy. It was evident during the time she was dating "Mr I've never battered anyone before" and all the things they have said about her. While they were dating, her mother came back from America and the next thing was for him to start telling people that Beverly was doing drugs when she can't even take alcohol. (Why they broke up) She was in love with with him but I know he instilled fear in her. There are different stories but I don't want to talk about it. There are some stories that led to them breaking up, that if it comes out would look totally bad for him. There are some things that if I speak about will hurt 2shotz in ways that he can never imagine. So, all the things that he is saying right now...it got to a point where he broke her simcard because of phone calls. Who does that?

Whitney Houston's most sparkling moments

On February 11 2012, at the age of 48, Whitney Houston passed away.
Having spent close on three decades in the spotlight, Whitney’s later years were muddled by controversy, as her relationships and struggle with drug addiction saw her making headlines frequently, for all the wrong reasons.

But with her starring role, alongside Jordin Sparks, in Sparkle, it seemed Whitney was back, and just as the world started hearing of her potential comeback, she tragically passed away.

With the premiere of Sparkle tonight (Friday 9 August, 20:30 on M-Net Movies Premiere), this seems a perfect time to look back and remember Whitney for the right reasons – all centred on her startling talent.

Presenting our picks for Whitney Houston’s greatest moments:

Making her television debut on The Merv Griffin Show in 1983

Whitney made her very first television appearance at the age of 19, having just been discovered and signed to Arista Records by Clive Davis. Whitney hadn’t even begun recording her first album yet, but with her rendition of Home, from musical, The Wiz, she blew viewers away.
 
Singing the US national anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl

Whitney’s version of The Star Spangled Banner received such a massive response that it was released as a commercial single, climbing to the Top 20 of the Billboard 100 chart. She remains the only musician to turn the national anthem into such a big hit.

Tiwa Savage wishes for Don Jazzy, D'Banj reunion


 If wishes were horses, Don Jazzy and D’Banj will come together as before. That’s one earnest wish Tiwa Savage made known at a recent interview she granted Style Magazine.

Tiwa Savage, who is touted as Mavin Records’ first lady, said she prays that the two music founders of defunct Mo’Hits Records will come back together.

"I am still in shock and when I listen to songs like Suddenly, I am like is this really happening? And I feel like they have left a void in the music industry in Nigeria and in Africa."

Though she says she knows nothing of what caused the rift between the two former friends and business partners, beyond what she read in the tabloids, Tiwa maintains that her boss, Don Jazzy is indeed a "mysterious" guy.

"I’ll tell you the honest truth about Don Jazzy…he really is like that. He doesn’t really open his heart easily to people. He just accepts what happens and he moves on. I mean he is the Don, so I can’t go up to him and say 'Jazzy, what really happened?' I just keep my mouth shut," she said.

Tiwa joined Mavin Records in May 2012 after the demise of Mo’Hits Records label.

The old Mo’Hits crew had as members D’Banj, Wande Coal, Dr. Sid, D’Prince and KSwitch

Apple, Pear, Hourglass, Rectangle Or Inverted Triangle Body? Here Is How To Dress For Your Body Shape


Knowing your body shape is the key to dressing well. It is not your height or weight that matters, but your shape; a tall person and a petite one can very well be of the same shape. Body shape depends on your proportions, so learning to dress those proportions to look their best is fundamental.
Although each of us are different and unique, we all fall into a few basic body shapes, and some of us might even be a combination of two or more shapes. Once you have determined your shape, you can then decide the best trends to embrace to emphasise your best features and what to avoid.
The Apple
Apple shaped bodies have a bigger bust, rounded stomach area and slimmer hips. The key to dressing an apple shape is to take attention away from the midriff and focus on the great bits, your cleavage or your bum and legs.
  • Wear slim fitting trousers to show off your legs, and v-necked tops to emphasise your great bust.
  • Structured and tailored clothing will give you definition, and accessories will draw attention to your best features. Experiment with items such as drop earrings and chunky bangles.
  • Try using slimming shapewear to pull the excess flab in and define your waist.

WHY Women Wear Waist Beads

Beads are usually small round pieces of pierced glass, wood or metal strung together to serve as adornment for the waist, neck or ankle beads.

Waist Beads are common with females and they are an excellent tool for women to feel more feminine and beautiful. These beautiful gemstone waist beads are hand made and customized. The tradition of wearing beads is an age long one, from time immemorial; it has been worn for varying reasons by the royalty, for body adornment, deification and decoration.
The wearing of beads on the waist was made popular by the Yorubas in Nigeria. Overtime the culture of the use of beads has been associated with both spiritual and material reasons. In some parts of Africa, the beads are anointed in oils and the woman stands over a smoked pot and commences to ‘smoke her self’.
This practice aids in sensory pleasure for the man. Some beads are adorned with bells, which is a signal to let the man know that the woman wants to engage in sexual intercourse. The Yorubas have a revered usage attached to the waist beads. It is also worn as a form of birth control, as a way of preventing obesity or also for their ‘healing’ and therapeutic powers.
