Is Nando On Suicide Watch?

On Sunday after the live show, Tanzanian representative in Big Brother Africa, The Chase, Nando was disqualified from the game following a very tempestuous argument that almost led to a fight with Elikem and carrying knives in his pocket.

During his stay in the BBA house, Nando appeared to be disturbed...but some of us never knew the extent to which he was actually disturbed.

It will amaze you to know that in  2011 Nando had attempted suicide because he saw 'taking his own life' as a way out of whatever problem he was facing...see his tweets wayback 2012:

"I try to deny that I love you because I’m thinking it’s too early to love you when I don’t know how you are in the outside world,”

Beverly later told Angelo Personal stuffs about her life including how she used to sleep with men for money to help her family and how she once had an abortion....blah blah...

Then she asked him a question he was all too happy to answer...see the question after the cut...

Nigeria's Traditional Monarchs Accused Of Living In Regal Pomp And Splendour Despite Been Stripped Of Their Powers 50 Years Ago

The Emir of Kano Alhaji Dr Ado Abdullahi Bayero is attended by aides as he sits on the back of his vintage Rolls Royce on his way to the Central Mosque in Kano

Nigerian photographer based in Lagos, George Osodi toured some states in Nigeria extensively for a series of photographs entitled 'Kings of Nigeria' which is due to be exhibited at London's Bermondsey Project in October....his intentions might be to showcase Nigeria's heritage, but this is not how a UK website is seeing the pics taken by Osodi.

The UK Website is reporting that; Nigeria's traditional Monarchs may have been stripped of their powers half a century ago, but they appear to have lost little of their regal pomp and splendour as this fascinating series of portraits shows....with their brightly coloured robes, ornate thrones and legions of flunkeys attending every whim, they seem every bit the archetypal African kings.

State Of Nigeria: How Honourable Are Our Lawmakers?

The Nigeria Parliament both at the state and federal levels, have had a chequered history from independence to date. Of all the arms of our government, the legislative arm can be described as the youngest and less experience. One of the reasons for that status of our parliament, is perhaps because, at all times the military took over power, the law making body is usually the most affected. The executive and the judicial arms were usually preserved by each of the military who had at one time or the other foisted themselves on the people of Nigeria.

Watch Nollywood Actress, Genevieve Nnaji In “Half Of A Yellow Sun” Official Trailer

Yay! The 2nd version of the official trailer for “Half of a Yellow Sun” is out with our very own Genevieve Nnaji starring in it.

A week ago, the first official trailer for “Half of a Yellow Sun” made it’s debut online without Genevieve appearing anywhere in it

This 2nd version according to Bella naija is almost identical to the first trailer – The major difference is we get to see Nollywood superstar Genevieve Nnaji in her role.

There were rumours earlier in the year that Genevieve’s role as Miss Adebayo had been cut out of the movie. According to the unsubstantiated rumours, “poor acting” was the reason for the chop! This seemingly gained credibility when she did not feature in the first official trailer.

“Half of a Yellow Sun” is an on-screen adaptation of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie‘s novel of the same name. The movie which is directed by Biyi Bandele stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, Thandie Newton, Anika Noni Rose alongside Nollywood stars and veterans including Gloria Young, Zach Orji, Onyeka Onwenu, Tina Mba and Genevieve Nnaji.

The film has been selected as the Opening Night Gala Film of the trinidad+tobago film festival 2013!

Was Pope Francis Really Supporting Gays?

This is it:

“If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” 

That was what Pope Francis said about gay people of faith Monday, prompting a lot of persons to judge the pope themselves. While some were enthusiastic, others questioned the Pope's infallibility.

Pope Francis said on Monday that he will not "judge" gays and lesbians  including gay priests signaling a shift from his predecessor and offering another sign that the new pope is committed to changing the church's approach to historically marginalized groups.

Well...I don't think the pope was"supporting" gay's. He is just quoting the bible, which says that only God can judge...who does not agree with me?
