The  battle between Prof. Chukwuka Okonjo, father of Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Nigeria’s Minister of Finance, and a royal family over the Obi of Ogwashi-Uku throne, has resulted in the death of a 15-year-old Ogwashi-Uku prince identified as Pentty Sunday Chukwu.
He and two others were shot by soldiers allegedly led by a captain of the Nigerian Army. The shooting incident occurred at Ogwashi-Uku during the celebration of the community’s new yam festival last weekend.
According to the police spokesman, the shooting “was done by the army, led by a Captain.” He, however, did not disclose the name of the Army Captain. He said the army were handling the issue, adding that when “they are through, they will hand over to the police for further investigation.”




















 

In a recent interview with TRIBUNE, he said “You can’t just call yourself a man of God. There must be a very strong covenant between you and God before you can claim that you are a man of God. I don’t see myself like that, but if people call me a man of God, it means I have to be very careful because I have not heard from God. All I know is that I am a son of God, not yet a man of God.

PHOTOGRAPHY: How to Take Sharp Photographs
Perfectly sharp images are what many photographers want and strive for. A blurry shot will look mediocre compared to one that is sharp, no matter how spectacular the subject matter is. Fret not. It's easy to get up and start taking pictures; it doesn't take much work to get those clear, sharp photographs you've been hoping for, either. It takes just a little familiarity with some technical trivia.
Take Sharp Photographs

If you are a becoming photographer you have most probably faced the problem of how to make your portrait better and get rid of the unwanted blemished skin. And most importantly - not to exaggerate: we don't want to get too blurred or unnatural skin as the result. We want to see a person on the photo, not a doll.
How To: Professional Photo Retouching in Photoshop
This article will cover several steps of how to work in Lightroom and Photoshop in order to get a beautiful portrait.

Its being a while though, its just that have being a lot busy guys but am back and better.....For those who do not know or have little idea about this, i thought it necessary to bring to you this fresh photography tips. Aperture-priority mode is the favored auto-exposure mode of many photographers because of the control it gives, from people shooting vast landscapes to those photographing the smallest of insects. It's considered by many to be the mode that maps most closely onto how certain kinds of photographs demand photographers think about how they're shooting. Here's how to get yourself out of green auto and into shooting a mode that lets you control, and forces you to think about, some important aspects of your shot.
Note: This is a quick-and-dirty primer; for even more gory technical details, head over to How to Choose a Lens Aperture (F Stop), which covers a lot of things skimmed over or ignored in this article.

Steps

  1. Set your camera to aperture priority mode. This differs from maker to maker (read your manual), but here are some hints for a few common types of digital camera:
    • Most Nikon digital SLRs: You have a mode dial. Turn this to "A". Once you've done this, spinning your front control dial (on your right-hand grip, very close to the power button) will adjust your aperture. (If you have a camera without a front control dial, then your rear control dial will adjust your aperture instead.)
      The mode dial on a Nikon camera (actually an F55 film camera), set to A.



I bring to you fresh ideas that can help in your photography skills or if you an enthusiast they can also help...
If you've mastered the basics of framing, shooting, and taking a photograph, try taking it further. Make it a hobby, or maybe even a career, rather than taking the usual holiday, pet, and kid snapshots. It is time to start making stunning, rather than simply passable, photographs.

 Steps

  1. Learn the basics, if you haven't already. Basics of photography include composition, which is essentially the placing of a subject within the frame of a photograph, lighting, and the basic workings of your camera. See How to Take Better Photographs for some introductory material.
  2. Be ready: At least half of the time, the difference between a great photograph and a mediocre one is being in the right place at the right time, with a camera in your hand. Carry your camera with you as often as you can. Make sure to use your camera often, too. Just carrying it around does no good.



A lot of times, we love and desire to take pictures or photographs of ourselves but most times people find it difficult to achieve this task or to take great pictures for themselves even those who take them to sell. so i bring to you today something from the ordinary (extras), take a good look at each of the images,study and learn how you can successfully make good use of those camera gadgets of yours, and i hope this will help; lets know what you think about this......Enjoy!!

                         A simple guide to taking pictures with sometimes complex digital cameras.

A few decades ago, a photographer had to know his camera perfectly, be able adjust and fine-tune it in many ways to get an ideal photo. With the appearance of digital cameras, the photo-taking process has become much easier. Now, every modern camera has an automatic mode, which sets the focus, exposure and many other options with a single click. But let's be honest, a lot of photos taken in such a way are quite bad. What can you do to improve the quality of the photos? In this lesson, you will learn 5 simple tips to make your photos more professional and beautiful.

Anyone can join the paparazzi with a camera and a little ingenuity. Have you caught a celebrity in an embarrassing situation? If you have a camera you may be able to sell the pictures for hundreds of thousands of dollars, and even mundane celebrity photos can often be sold. Whether you're a professional paparazzo or you just happen to be in the right place at the right time, follow these steps to take valuable celebrity snapshots and sell them.

Steps

  1. Avoid crowds. Pictures of celebrities at events, such as the Oscars or movie premiers, where all the paparazzi are present, will generally be worthless because so many people have the same pictures. The really valuable pictures are the ones that no one else has--pictures of the celebrity in casual or intimate settings--and you'll need to get away from the crowds to get those.


Models and celebrities make posing for photos look easy, whether it's on the red carpet or modeling for the latest ad campaign. But the truth is, they're probably thinking pretty hard about what they're doing. Here are some steps to help you pose at your own photo shoots.

Steps


Things To Remember

  1. Keep good posture. Unless your photographers tell you to be inspired by those awkward, uncomfortable looking manikins in the Forever 21 windows, hold yourself confidently and high. You'll look much taller and thinner if you keep your back straight and your shoulders back. Whatever size you are, hold your stomach in as well if you want to look more toned.

You always want to stay healthy and today i bring to you though from the usuals this wonderful tip for your health. Smiling plays a very important role in maintaining and improving your health, both physically and emotionally. As Phyllis Diller once said:  
A smile is a curve that sets everything straight, and the smile can help you to stand out, improve people's perception of your attractiveness and relieve any stress you might be experiencing. And if you're still not convinced, there is evidence that those who smile often live an average of 7 years longer than those who rarely conjure a regular smile.
A fun way to improve your physical and mental well-being, the smile is free of charge and always available by choice and this article explores the ways you can smile to be healthy.

 Steps

  1. Smile to relieve stress. Stress is easily shown in our faces. Smiling prevents people from looking too tired or overwhelmed. When you're stressed, try to put on a smile, as it will make you feel happy, and you will appear happy. Your feelings on stress will be reduced as the endorphins associated with the smile are released, and the infectiousness of your smile will help to make others happy. When others are happy, you will feel even happier knowing you're helping others to feel better. You may even start laughing, and if so, others might join in. That shows you that from being sad, you can start laughing with the help of a smile.


. How to Express Your Emotional Pain the Healthy Way

We often feel sadness over occurrences in our lives that we have no control over. Perhaps a best friend moves away, or maybe we experience the loss of a family member. Not all of us know how to express our feelings. Some cannot talk it over with parents, and some just think that hurting themselves is the only way to express their inner feelings. There are other ways for us to express our grief. The steps as written below are good guidelines to follow.Try them and let's know what you think about it, did it work or not?

Steps

  1. First of all, know that crying is not a sign of weakness. Let out your tears! Bottled up emotions lead to more emotional breakdowns in the future. Crying not only cleanses the eyes, but washes the pain away. (Note: This is a metaphor. Crying does not literally wash away pain.)


As an undergraduate student in a prestigious university and with just a few weeks to writing my final examination and graduate, hopes were very high. Academic work became challenging, vigorous and stimulating.
The school was at the peak of an academic session. The long session was gradually coming to an end, the climax of which was an end of session examination that would add a golden crown to nights of sleepless adventure in “bookland”, midnight candles, and efforts at amounting to something in life. Indeed, hope had never soared that high in my youthful life.

Has something bad happened? Have you locked up your problems all day and felt the sadness almost pouring out? Once you get home, follow my tips to let it all out and be happy once again and you could also share your thoughts with me if you don't mind, i could offer the simplest form of advice that i may know....
Enjoy reading

Steps

  1. Talk to someone you trust who is wise, and/or elderly.
 2. Exercise alone. Sometimes going for a long run or walk by yourself can help boost your spirits.

is having the greatest year of his career so far. Still enjoying the rewards for his smash hit, Durosoke.

More facts have emerged from the meeting held on Sunday night between President Goodluck Jonathan and aggrieved governors in the New Peoples Democratic Party.
Presidency sources made this known just as Jonathan met behind closed doors with some PDP governors loyal to the Bamanga Tukur-led National Working Committee of the party.
One of the sources at the Sunday meeting said that the President and the other attendees discussed and agreed on five contentious issues: Amaechi’s suspension by the Tukur-led NWC; control of the PDP structure at the state level; Jonathan’s alleged 2015 ambition; Tukur’s fate and court cases.
On Amaechi, the parties agreed that he should be recalled and that a committee be constituted to visit Port Harcourt and reconcile all aggrieved members of the PDP in the state.
The governor was suspended on June 21 for his alleged refusal to “obey the lawful directive of the Rivers State Executive Committee to rescind his decision dissolving the elected Executive Council of Obiokpor Local Government Area of the state.”
The meeting also accepted that all the governors of the party, including the aggrieved ones, should be in charge of the State Working Committees of the party in their respective states.
It was further learnt that since the governors were to be in charge of the party structures in their states, President Jonathan should determine the fate of Tukur, who all the aggrieved governors want removed.
Our source said that “the President argued that since it had been accepted that he should not interfere in the running of the party at the state level, he should be allowed to determine what would happen to its national chairman (Tukur).”
He added that the meeting, which was also attended by three pro-Tukur governors – Godswill Akpabio(Akwa Ibom), Idris Wada(Kogi) and Liyel Imoke (Cross River State) – agreed that all pending court cases concerning the party must be withdrawn immediately.
Amaechi is therefore expected to withdraw a case in which he is challenging his suspension. Also, numerous cases filed by members of the New PDP and the Tukur-led PDP will also be discontinued.
It was gathered that Jonathan’s 2015 ambition,generated heated arguments as the aggrieved governors insisted that he had told them that he would not run for a second term.
According to our source, the President argued that there was no time he told anyone that he would not contest for second term.
The PUNCH gathered that Jonathan specifically accused one of the aggrived governors, Babangida Aliyu of Niger State, of misleading Nigerians on the 2015 debate.
Aliyu was said to have told the President he had said at different fora that he was not going to seek re-election.
“The governor listed Ethiopia, United States and different caucus meetings of the party where the President made the statements,” our source added.
When argument on the issue raged,the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the PDP , Chief Tony Anenih, who was also present at the meeting,which was held at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, interjected and advised that it should be suspended for a latter date.
The source said, “It was a give and take meeting, but at the end of the day, we agreed that the issue of 2015 should be revisited and resolved amicably.
“I can tell you that the meeting was very frank . We all spoke our minds, including the President and his deputy (Namadi Sambo). So, we wait to see the implementation of the resolutions reached.”
The other aggrieved governors, who were also pillars of the New PDP at the meeting were Amaechi (Rivers), Rabiu Kwankwanso (Kano), Murtala Nyaho (Adamawa), Sule Lamido (Jigawa), and Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara).
A statement read by Aliyu at the end of the talks stated that the parties agreed to avoid inflammatory remarks, pending the final resolution of the crisis.
The statement added that further talks would continue on October 7.
On Monday Jonathan held secret talks with Wada, Benue State Governor Gabriel Suswam and other PDP governors loyal to Tukur at the Presidential Villa.
The identitities of the other governors were not known as they arrived in the Villa in vehicles with security number plates.
A source in the Villa described the meeting as “consultative.”
Earlier on Monday, Akpabio and Anenih were also sighted in the Villa. Commenting on the outcome of the meeting, the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Chief Olisa Metuh, said the leadership of the PDP was happy that the problems bedevilling the party were being resolved.
Metuh said, “We are very happy and grateful to the President, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, the chairman of BoT and other elders of the party.
“We are also happy with our governors. We are happy that the party has shown that it is capable of resolving its crises.”
In spite of the ‘no inflammatory comment order’, the Special Adviser to the President on Political Affairs, Mr. Ahmed Gulak, boasted on Monday that nobody could intimidate the President into not contesting in 2015.
“The 1999 Constitution gives Mr. President the right to offer himself for second term if he so chooses and no individual or group can abridge his constitutional right. If he decides not to contest, let it be on his own volition not because he is intimidated or cajoled into doing that, ” he told State House correspondents in Abuja.
Gulak, who added that peace was gradually returning to the party, said that Tukur would survive the crises.
He said, “The national chairman has no problem. He was elected and I always say that as there are processes for election, there are processes for removal or resignation. So nobody can cajole anybody to say the national chairman will not survive. Nobody is against the national chairman.”
The Presidential aide dismissed claims that the crisis would mark the end of the ruling party, saying it (PDP) has internal mechanism for resolving its problems
“We have entered into dialogue. Peace is gradually returning to the PDP in accordance with the constitution of the party and in accordance with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. These two documents are our guides. We abide by them and we dialogue in accordance with the provision of the constitution,” he said.
Gulak explained that the President would consider the demands of the aggrieved governors based on the constitution
He also said that the President would never ask the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission not to perform its duties.

Well, it seems the Okoye boys are ready to settle down.

It has been reported thatPaul Okoye, one of the members of the musical duo, P-square has proposed to long time beau, and baby mama Anita Atokwu-Isama.

 

Hardly will music experts recount those who made it in the afro hip hop music trend within the past ten years in the industry without making mention of the iconic duo who used to co-own Mo’Hits record, D’Banj and DonJazzy.

In a compelling exclusive interview with TheNetng, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ host ’s , Katherine Obiang, who has three kids for the TV host talked about her 7-year old marriage to Frank. How it should never have been, how they should have rather stayed as friends.....

 
How are your kids?They are great.

And how are they taking the whole divorce issue?
I regret marrying Frank Edoho – WIFE
We are not really divorced. It’s still a work-in-progress kind of thing but we are taking it well. When its time for him to see the children, he does and when its time to return them, he does. On my part, I
have carried the children along and make them understand they are not stained because of it. I wouldn’t want them to develop a complex because of it. We didn’t design for these things to happen but they do. It’s like people who have lost their parents, they didn’t plan for it but they have to move on. I watch them and I think they are doing pretty okay especially because we talk about it every time there is a reason to.
You mentioned that you aren’t really divorced. Does that suggest possibility of reconciliation?

She has been the number one ranked player in women’s singles tennis and has been so on six separate occasions and is also a fashion icon, one that always looks good in her tennis gear. But in this pose, the 35 times grand slam winner really killed it. So how would you caption this picture?

You Don’t Have To Believe In God To Go To Heaven – Pope Francis
In comments likely to enhance his progressive reputation, has written a long, open letter to the founder of La Repubblica newspaper, Eugenio Scalfari, stating that non-believers would be forgiven by if they followed their consciences. Responding to a list of questions published in the paper by Mr Scalfari, who is not a Roman Catholic, Francis wrote: “You ask me if the God of the Christians forgives those who don’t believe and who don’t seek the faith. I start by saying – and this is the fundamental thing – that God’s mercy has no limits if you to him with a sincere and contrite heart. The issue for those who do no believe in God is to obey their conscience.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The deadly attack at the Washington Navy Yard was carried out by one of the military’s own: a defense contract employee and former Navy reservist who used a valid pass to get onto the installation and started firing inside a building, killing 12 people before he was slain in a gun battle with police.

Kenneth Okonkwo brags about his sexual prowess, says he can go for 24hrs
"I am strong sexually for 24 hours. My wife knows that. Each time I have an affair with any lady, she goes out to tell her friends, and her friend will end up developing interest in me. So when I married my wife, I told her if she know what's best for her she should not tell any of her female friends what we do behind closed doors or else she will lose me" Oh yeah? Lol. 
He continues "When I was growing up, women older than me were coming for me, right in front of my mother. These women taught me a lot of things. I started kissing at a very tender age because it was part of the things they were doing to me, and I loved it. Maybe that is why my lips are red. They taught me how to be with women. They would give me their body to play with so I grew up knowing a lot about what women want. Till today, when I am sleeping with a lady she has to cum before me. I enjoy sex more when the women have enjoyed themselves"

 
It is now about three months that the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has been on Strike, yet the government has refused to listen to the Union. Rather than engage in good faith negotiations, the government has resorted to scare and diversionary tactics, calling the Union bluff, and asking the striking lecturers to return to the classrooms. We believe that such diversionary methods smack of nothing but cheap blackmail.

EXCLUSIVE: MTN splashes N500m on endorsement deals 

Add caption
Wooh!!!!!! MTN Nigeria may have spent up to a whooping N500m in the last 16 months on brand endorsement deals and related campaigns, according to investigations by Nigerian Entertainment Today.
MTN Nigeria is the biggest spender in the market, but this is the first time they’re spending heavily on brand endorsements – an area hitherto monopolised by competitor Globacom.
In a pleasantly- surprising switch in policy, the telecoms giant is handing out ambassadorial roles to some of the biggest pop artistes in the country, organizing competitions and shooting award deserving TVCs.
What’s responsible? 

Pastor Kumuyi

General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi has warned his members to disregard the claims by one Sierra Leonean, Linda Ngaujah who said she died, ascended to heaven and came back with messages.
Linda in a CD claimed she died and was privileged to see Heaven and Hell.
According to her, many members of Pastor Enoch Adeboye’s Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG would not make heaven on the last day. She further claimed that the founder of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Movement, Pastor Lazarus Mouka was using magical means to perform miracles.
Linda also said Bishop David Oyedepo of the Winner Chapel, better known as Living Faith and his members were not even recognised in Heaven.
She also added that the old Deeper Life form of dressing was the divinely acceptable one in heaven, saying that women who use rubber and wool to plait their hair were allowed to enter heaven.
Linda in another CD claimed that the late wife of the Deeper Life G.S, Biodun Kumuyi was seen in heaven.
Similarly, another lady, an evangelist of the Church of God Mission, Benin City, Margaret Amure has warned women to stop wearing jewellery, lipstick, or any make-up or trousers which she said were immodest.
However, Kumuyi during a sermon preached and transmitted among Deeper Life members on Monday, warned his teeming congregation to disregard the messages, which he described as signs of the end.
Reading from the Book of Matthew 24, Kumuyi told his members during the weekly Bible study that on the last day, many prophets shall arise, hence the need to disregard many prophecies that are cropping up from different acclaimed God messengers.

Bukky Wright is one movie star that has waded through scandals and controversies that could last her a lifetime, but she is unruffled.
In a recent interview with Tribune, she opened up on her pains and gains of being a celebrity, among other issues.
See excerpts below:
Sometime ago you were rated as one of the most controversial actresses in Nollywood; does controversy suit you and does it really get to you at all?
It does not get to me. It takes the grace of God and determination to stay in this kind of profession without going through controversies here and there, but I have never allowed controversies to get to me. I understand the fact that I have a price to pay for being a celebrity. But that does not mean I should start jumping over the place because I am a celebrity or because I want people to know I am still relevant. Those who say I am controversial don’t know me. I am different things to different people. I am sure you would have your own idea of who Bukky Wright is by the time this interactive session is over.
So, who is the real Bukky Wright?
The real Bukky Wright is God-fearing, down to earth, but very blunt to a large extent. The funny thing about this job is that people won’t complain if you act in a movie where you are asked to cry from the beginning to the end. It will surprise you to hear that some of my fans do tell me that when I am crying in movies, they also cry. What that tells you is that I am doing what I have to do rightly, interpreting my roles passionately.
How does your husband react to some of these things?
Most of the time, he does not like seeing or hearing anything about that and he would want me to take an action that would serve as a deterrent to others, but I will say no.
Tell us more about him?
My husband is a perfect gentleman and I thank God for his life. In fact, some people will even use him to blackmail me when I am not taking their scripts. I have been able to carve that little bit of privacy for myself, husband and children. That is how far I can tell you about him.
Why do celebrities like to live fake lives?
I think it is crazy for any celebrity to paint the picture of what he or she cannot achieve five years from now. They call it showbiz and you have to show, but sometimes, you have to put that aside and be yourself. I am not the kind of woman that likes to do what others do. I love to be myself and those who know me would tell you that is Bukky for you.

Bukky Wright is one movie star that has waded through scandals and controversies that could last her a lifetime, but she is unruffled.
In a recent interview with Tribune, she opened up on her pains and gains of being a celebrity, among other issues.
See excerpts below:
Sometime ago you were rated as one of the most controversial actresses in Nollywood; does controversy suit you and does it really get to you at all?
It does not get to me. It takes the grace of God and determination to stay in this kind of profession without going through controversies here and there, but I have never allowed controversies to get to me. I understand the fact that I have a price to pay for being a celebrity. But that does not mean I should start jumping over the place because I am a celebrity or because I want people to know I am still relevant. Those who say I am controversial don’t know me. I am different things to different people. I am sure you would have your own idea of who Bukky Wright is by the time this interactive session is over.
So, who is the real Bukky Wright?
The real Bukky Wright is God-fearing, down to earth, but very blunt to a large extent. The funny thing about this job is that people won’t complain if you act in a movie where you are asked to cry from the beginning to the end. It will surprise you to hear that some of my fans do tell me that when I am crying in movies, they also cry. What that tells you is that I am doing what I have to do rightly, interpreting my roles passionately.
How does your husband react to some of these things?
Most of the time, he does not like seeing or hearing anything about that and he would want me to take an action that would serve as a deterrent to others, but I will say no.
Tell us more about him?
My husband is a perfect gentleman and I thank God for his life. In fact, some people will even use him to blackmail me when I am not taking their scripts. I have been able to carve that little bit of privacy for myself, husband and children. That is how far I can tell you about him.
Why do celebrities like to live fake lives?
I think it is crazy for any celebrity to paint the picture of what he or she cannot achieve five years from now. They call it showbiz and you have to show, but sometimes, you have to put that aside and be yourself. I am not the kind of woman that likes to do what others do. I love to be myself and those who know me would tell you that is Bukky for you.
