Not only is she one
of the youngest coders to be making major waves in the tech world, but
15-year-old Helena Mark is also one of the only girls changing what used to be
the dude-dominated coding world. After developing her first website in 5th
grade and publishing her first app in 8th grade, Helena just beat out hundreds
of students to win a scholarship to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in
San Francisco. Helena is using her coding skills for good, working on a new app
called AdoptMe that helps shelter pets find homes. “Through the input of
volunteers, the app compiles posts to social media pages that links individual
animal stories together with hashtags and creates a story for each animal,” she
explained. “The faster we can get pets adopted, the more animals a shelter can

Video: GEJ and PEJ "Diarris God o" Animated Parody
I was just sent this super-hilarious
video by a friend and I thought it too funny to keep to myself alone.
The video depicts our president and
wife in the bedroom and PEJ with tears flowing laments the fact that “na only
one person waka come”. All the time, GEJ is trying to calm her down. At this point,
the couple break out in song, doing a comical version of PSquare’s hit tune, Personally.

Dubbed the World Ugliest Woman, Lizzie Velasquez Wants to Help You Beat the Bullies
Heartlessly, she was dubbed ‘the world’s ugliest woman’ but now, Lizzie
Velasquez has beaten the bullies and turned her life around by standing up to
the cruel taunts.
Lizzie, 24, from Austin, Texas, was born without adipose tissue –
meaning she has no body fat and despite eating up to 60 small meals a day,
remains at a delicate 4 stone.
Video: Tiwa Savage’s Wanted
Directed
by Mr. Moe Musa, the thrilling video is just what I expected from the Queen of
Nigerian pop music.
If
I tell you now that she wore just one costume for the whole video, you might
get disappointed, but I will be quick to say, "oh what a costume it was….." It
definitely was enough to keep you interested in the three and half minute
video.
The
song which samples the hook from Damien Marley’s tune, Jamrock, is off her debut studio album, Once Upon A Time. It's a catchy, lyrically rich number and the video has got some innovative
moves which I am touting to create the next trending moves you will be seeing
all over Instagram.
It’s
already looking like a Youtube hit in the making with almost 350,000 views
since its release there on May 27, 2014.
Watch
the vid after the cut and please let me know what you think, especially about
the opening scene *winks*
Video: Amerie’s Comeback Single ‘What I Want’ is Sure to be What you Want, Trust Me
It’s
been 5 years since we last heard from Amerie. In2009, she released her newest
album Love and War and while it was
popular with critics, it didn’t quite have the same momentum as her 2005 smash
hit, 1 Thing. The good news though is
that she’s back with a single that I think is sure-to-please.
Much
like 1 Thing, the funky track boasts
a killer sample – the hook of Sugarhill Gang’s infectious classic, Apache – that will leave y’all lyrically
lovestruck and strapping on your dancing shoes.
Amerie’s
next album is called Cymatika Vol. 1but
there’s no official release date yet.
Watch

Well, Tunde Edwho? That’s the question that I hear most
people asking, but if you follow the Nigerian entertainment scene, you might
have heard the name. the comedian/musician has been off the scene for a while
now.

drop this!” The photo of a man’s chiselled abs was eventually discovered by
fans not to be his own and you can trust that they were quick to call him out.

Unofficial, Unscientific Ranking of the 2014 World Cup Kits. Where do you Think Nigeria's Kit Lies in the Ranking?
When the 2014 World Cup in
Brazil kicks off on June 12, we'll be treated to one month of the world's best
and most exciting football. But sports nerds of a certain stripe are also in
for an added bonus: World Cup uniforms ("kits" in football parlance), which
by many estimations represent the coolest gear the entire sports world has to offer.
The World Cup of style is dominated by football’s
big-boy brands: Nike sponsors
10 of the World Cup's 32 teams; Adidas sponsors
nine; Puma sponsors eight; Burrda, Marathon, Uhlsport, Joma and Lotto sponsor
one apiece. But each company is busting out the best it has to offer for the
millions of football fans (and apparel consumers) who will tune into the World
Cup from points around the globe this summer.
We've
been nerding out over World Cup kits all spring, so now it's time to gather
them all together in one place. What follows is our very unscientific ranking
of all 32 outfits (Okay, 31; Bosnia and Herzegovina isn't expected to
officially release its duds until early June) as done by Mashable.com. We've ordered them from here
from snazziest to meh-iest.
Check
them out, and then tell me in the comments section below.
which are your favourites and what position you think Nigeria's kit should have been ranked.

Is Don Jazzy the King of Social Media or What? Hot on the Heels of Doro Bucci, Another Track - Adaobi is About to be Born on Instagram
It
started out like a joke while Don Jazzy was away in Dubai for Tiwa and Tee
Bills’ wedding. He posted a video of himself on Instagram singing the chorus to
Doro Bucci and the whole of Instagram went berserk with his fans home and
abroad uploading videos of themselves doing their rendition to the Doro Bucci song.
The rest is history as they say, for we now have two tracks born out of that skit
and they are both hott.
Today,
the new track baking in the oven is called Adaobi and it is coming out
following pretty much the same master-script: Don Jazzy yesterday uploaded a
video on his Instagram page and explained that a friend of his called Adaobi
came to visit him at the Mavin Headquarters and requested that he “make a jam
with her name” he obviously decided to oblige her and the video was a prelude of
the track as he promised that the full jam is coming soon.
Fast-forward
just one day and there is already a promo pic for the track with the caption “food
is almost ready”.
What do
you think about this absolutely ingenious method that the Mavin Boss has
adopted to introduce his new artistes to us the listening public?
This 17-Year-Old Nigerian-American's Academic Achievements Show That You Should Never Judge a Book by its Cover
Akintunde Ahmad, a senior at Oakland Tech in Oakland California, USA, has achieved a 5.0 GPA and 2,100 in the SAT. As a result of the achievements, he has his choice of attending Yale, Brown,
Columbia or a slew of other prestigious universities but the people he meets
don't believe him thanks to the clothes he wears and dreadlocks he sports so he
has to carry around proof of his 5.0 GPA and sky high SAT score because he
looks like a 'street dude.'
“People looking at me funny is so common that it doesn’t stick
out for me anymore, it’s something that I’ve gotten used to.” Says Ahmad

Fans Blast Julius Agwu for Leaving Mum in a Squalid House.
Julius (the Genius) Agwu definitely
did not bargain for the backlash that this picture elicited from fans when he posted it on Instagramyesterday. It was
supposed to be a cute picture of a man and his mum who he is a carbon copy of
and fans were supposed to gush and coo about the resemblance and his love for
mummy.
The comments started off pretty much
according to this script until someone asked him to get a new house for his mum. Some other comments
followed this pattern with fans asking him to paint the house.
Iranian Billionaire Businessman Executed for $2.6 Billion Fraud
A
billionaire businessman at the heart of a $2.6 billion state bank scam, the
largest fraud case since the country’s 1979 Islamic Revolution, was executed
Saturday, state television reported.
Authorities put Mahafarid Amir Khosravi, also known as
Amir Mansour Aria, to death at Evin prison, just north of the capital, Tehran,
the station reported. The report said the execution came after Iran’s Supreme
Court upheld his death sentence.
Video: Michael Jackson's Hologram Performs at Billboards Music Awards
A
very, very human-looking “Jackson” was joined by a chorus of real (?) backup
dancers as he performed the new tune “Slave to the Rhythm” from his recent
posthumous album, “Xscape.” Jackson’s image was seen sitting on a throne, apparently
part of the set decoration - then he started moving and you realized it was a
hologram!
Dressed
in red pants, white shirt, and gold and white striped jacket --with his hair
pulled back while doing some complicated choreography - it looked incredibly
real.
Whether
it was tears of joy upon seeing their favourite artiste somehow back and
performing, or tears of sadness because the image was so disturbing, some
in the audience were crying.
The
audience was cheering wildly, of course - though some could not figure out how
to react. The camera panned to one group sitting there slack-jawed. A woman was
shown wiping off tears streaming down her face. One guy was dancing though.
Watch
the video after the cut.
This Morning , Romancia says........
"Laugh at your mistakes, but learn from them.

Video: Nollywood Super Hero Flick; Oya Rise of the Orisha
Introducing
Oya, Rise Of the Orisha. A movie being touted as an African Super Hero movie. With
the Super Hero genre enjoying massive audience appeal at the moment, it’s no
surprise that Nollywood will be eager for a piece of the action but I beg you please
producers of this movie – do your homework well. Don’t just drop the same
lukewarm, ill-thought out plots, and please please, get your special effects
rights before dropping this movie.
That
said, I'm super excited. I can’t wait to see the movie. The synopsis alone is ‘ghen
ghen’ enough. Lol.
