Would You Sign Up For A Muslim Model Agency?

I was reading an article the other day about a New York based model agency that launched couple weeks ago, said agency caters only to models who want modesty in the profession, they are muslims or none muslims who want to strut the catwalk but don't want a part in baring excessive skin or any skin at all. This agency is called 'Underwraps', owned by Nailah Lymus, a New York Fashion designer.. She says

'Being modest isn't just a Muslim concept; it crosses many religions and cultures. Beautiful women who have always wanted to venture on to the catwalk but have declined because of their beliefs now have a chance."

True that, but an agency like this in New York City, the place they call the capital of the world, who does that? I hope she makes a success

“I was asleep when suddenly, I heard the sound of gunshots. The robbers shot at the driver’s side in a bid to force the vehicle to a halt.

Eighteen women aboard a commuter luxury bus were reportedly raped in the wee hours of yesterday armed bandits few kilometres from Okene, Kogi State.

GIST has it that the newly-married couple Aki and his wife are expecting their first child. The talented thespian was sighted last week at Omole phase one in Lagos. According to eye witness, Aki as he’s fondly called alongside a male assistant who drove him came to shop for some designer clothes at a baby boutique in Omole Phase 1, Lagos. He stormed the shop that stock things for babies and kids within the age bracket of 0-12mths.

Aki and his assistant are said to have spent close to an hour in the store shopping. We learnt Aki smiled as he walked around the store. But some bad belles are saying maybe he came to shop for himself.

The Man Who Killed the Notorious B.I.G. REVEALED (DETAILS)

This is a full text of the feature on 'The Man Who Killed the Notorious B.I.G. REVEALED (DETAILS)' by COMPLEX MAGAZINE. We may have finally discovered Biggie's killer. According to retired LAPD detective Greg Kading, Wardell Fouse a.k.a Darnell Bolton a.k.a. “Poochie” was the triggerman who killed Notorious B.I.G. fifteen years ago today - his fee

T’yanna Dream Wallace was only a year old when her father put those famous words to tape, back in 1994, since then, she and her brother, Christopher Jordna Walllace, born three years later, have been walking through life on a path made by some very big footsteps. Now 18, T’yanna is a freshman at Penn State University; she’s currently studying business but ultimately plans to study fashion in New York, where she hopes to help her late father’s Brooklyn Mint clothing line blow up like he thought it would. (‘Call the crib, same number, same crib,’) Baby bro C.J, on the other hand, lives out in Los Angeles, where he is an actor with big roles in two major motion pictures already under his belt: the 2009 Biggie biopic Notorious and Will Ferrell’s 2010 dark comedy Everything Must Go.

Still, despite their lineage and the opportunities it might present, the young Wallaces come off like a couple of regular teenagers. They both love to get on Facebook and Twitter, hang out with their friends (three of whom happen to be the children of B.I.G’s Bad Boy CEO, Sean ‘Diddy’

Word has it that these two might be 'rolling in the deep', apologies to Adele.. Gist is the two are an item, or they may be soon be, judging from their recent outing together at the Paris Fashion Week where Kanye showcased his Spring/Autumn collection. Wouldn't that be something?! Kanye and Katy has a really nice ring to it but don't you for a minute think they'll make an awkward couple.. I think they will

TheNetNG - I’m truly happy for Kefee. And any right thinking person should be. She’s weathered the storm – the media storm especially. In spite of being so on her case, she got married right under our noses and we didn’t see it coming, even when the husband-to-be was one of us. Now that’s something. I know you’re saying ‘get to it’ in your mind and I’ll do just that.

Beautiful calculation – Nine weeks after her ex's remarried. Smart clandestine courtship – No speculations in the media prior to D-day. Now whether her new husband is the appropriate candidate or not is entirely her business, we just hope that by marrying Radio’s Fresh Prince – Teddy Esosa Don-Momoh last

Just on the heels of the bothched rescue mission of British citizen and an Italian in hostage situation yesterday in Sokoto, the British Government has deported 120 Nigerians includng women and children to Lagos on a CARGO PLANE. Cargo Plane!!! Woah, Cargo!!!!!!!!! Disrespectful, unfair regardless of the situation that warranted the deportation... Do we have British citizens we can deport back to the UK? I bet we don't.. Well, just sayin.. I asked cos I remember just a couple of days ago the Nigerian government displayed a tit-for-tat reaction to South Africa's deportation of some Nigerians, the South African government has since apologized for this.. Do you think the British

government should apologize too? I won't count on it.. But they owe apologies for getting the 120

On her breakup with Seal: “I feel like I’m in the eye of the tornado. It’s emotions inside of your body that are a tornado. And then the outside world doing all this craziness—with you wanting it or not wanting it—is another tornado. But as hard as it is, so is life. And sometimes I think a curveball just comes at you. Instead of something straight that you catch, it hits you in the head from the side that you didn’t expect.”

On her reluctance to talk to the press about her split with

The recent announcement that Nigeria’s most celebrated entertainer Don Jazzy, chief executive of Mo’Hit records and his partner D’Banj, the number one musician on the label, have parted ways, has left most Nigerians still reeling in shock.

Some Nigerian models who were billed to hit the runway at the Arise Africa Fashion Week decided to stage a walk out on the event, this was a s a result of discrimination over pay they were going to receive which when compared to the amount their foreign counterparts will receive from the organizers of the same event is but peanuts. Its been reported that the Nigerian models would earn twenty five thousand Naira only per day for strutting the runway while the international models will earn an undisclosed large sum of money..I can like to guess :D.. this the models frowned at and decided they were going to have none of it as what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander they chanted.. Well, can't blame them..

The protest has led to the postponement of the show for 2days, the Arise Africa Fashion Week which was set to begin Tuesday March 6th is now scheduled to take off tomorrow Thursday March 8th.. Well, well, well abi?

Nigeria Deports More South Africans To Their Country, Uncovers Prostitution Ring

Last week, the South African government deported 125 Nigerians, accusing them of having fake yellow fever certificates. In what some have tagged a reflexive reaction, Nigerian immigration a few days ago refused 28 South Africans entry into Nigeria, accusing them of illegally entering the country vis the South Africa national carrier, South Africa Airways. The 28 people were reportedly not allowed to leave the Murtala Muhammed International Airport as they were promptly sent back to their country. More people have since then been deported. This while the Nigeria's foreign minister, Olusegun Ashiru, issued the South African government a warning to either behave to

Chris Brown's GF Fights Rihanna

Well, not literally o : ) you'll recall that days ago, Rihanna took a subtle jab at Karrueche, Chris's girlfriend by posting a pic of a pack of rice cakes with earrings and shades that av both formed Karrueche Tran's dress signatures. You should know that in Vietnam where Karrueche is from, being reffered to as #ricecakes is derogative, its considered an insult to be so called but Rihanna couldn't care less, she was all out to make a point that Breezy is hers for the taking if she wants..

Well, it appears Karrueche may be having the last laugh tho, with her recent post on facebook one could easily bet on it.. Read post below

Siblings' rivalry

The feud between Emeka Ojukwu Jnr and Sylvester Debe has been lingering for some years and has so far defiled every advice and efforts to assuage the two parties. Sylvester Debe was born by a different mother earlier when Ojukwu was in his late twenties while Emeka Ojukwu Jnr is the son of Njideka, Ojukwu's late wife from Nawfia in Anambra state. There is a controversy over the correct status of Sylvester Debe's mother who died some years ago. While Emeka Ojukwu Jnr and his sibling alleged that their father did not formally marry Debe's mother, she was only his concubine.

Debe on the other hand debunked the claim as mischievous falsehood and strongly stated that Emeka Ojukwu Snr paid his mother's bride price.

Hot is an understatement for the pics you 'll find after the jump L )

Rita Ora, JayZ's new artiste

I came across a song by Drake with a mix of different versions of the song by Rita Ora, Tinie Tempa and Nneka. The song was originally written by Drake with Rihanna in mind, he wanted Riri to record it but instead he gave it to new pop singer Rita Ora who happens to be the latest addition to JayZ's record company. Song is titled, 'Im Ready For You'. Rita Ora's version features Tinnie Tempah (Nigerian). Drake's version sampled Nneka's award winning song, 'Heartbeat'.. Great stuff here if you ask me but be the judge yourself by listening to the 3 versions below.. Enjoy.

When a man, Alabi Olokode, made advances to Lateefah Adesope, a National Diploma holder, the lady simply turned him down on the grounds that her heart was not with him. Like a desperate man that he is, Olokode persisted. But Lateefah maintained her stand. This, however, did not go down well with the desperate suitor. As usual, Lateefah set out for mosque around 5.30am on December 30, 2011, for her prayers.

She said, “I was on my way to say my morning prayers at Tekunudeen Mosque, Aboru on Friday, December 30, 2011, when Olokode, who was hiding near the mosque, suddenly called my name. As I turned back, he poured a liquid substance on my face.

“The liquid went straight into my eyes and started burning my face. At that time, I didn’t know it was
