Boobs Affair At Big Brother Audition Boobs Affair At Big Brother Audition !
It was a battle of boobs among the hundreds of ladies, who thronged the Lagos, Nigeria open casting/auditions of contestants for the season seven of the M-Net Africa’s hit television reality show, Big Brother Africa, tagged ‘Double Up’ March 6th.
At the early morning auditions held at Protea Leadway Hotel, Maryland, the excitement was infectious as many of the applicants, especially the female folks, dressed in revealing attires with their cleavages pouting as if intended to create a ‘boob factor’ during the casting.
However, the audition was a thrilling experience, full of excitement and abundance of display of talents, according to an executive of M-Net Africa, who witnessed the open casting and audition.
The producers had announced that entrants would have to double up to compete. According to a statement, “Whether you enter with your best friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, mom, dad, brother, sister, boss, husband, wife, neighbour, hairdresser, whomever…you must just make sure that you enter as a pair. So who will take the journey of a lifetime with you? Remember you may have to spend a long time with them in the house so choose carefully!”
And so, while many came with their partners, others came with their aunts and some with friends. Some who were auditioned kept to the instructions not to discuss their experience with the media, others shared their optimism of making it to the BBA House when the show commences.
Dr. May Blossom Brown, a grandmother, who came to the audition with her nephew, Munachinso Ejiofor, as partner for the show, said she had a wonderful time with the other younger contestants who came for the auditioning and very positive that they will make it to the finals of the series.
Another contestant who simply called herself Gabriella was at the auditions with her friend, Tope. They are looking forward to be selected and be part of the show main show itself.
M-Net has announced that it will be another 91 days full of drama, action and unimaginable entertainment when BBA 7 hits screens in May. Also, the bounty for this year’s edition has been increased to a staggering $300,000.
Biola Alabi, Managing Director, M-Net Africa, said the show is definitely a high demand property that draws and holds audiences from start to finish.
She adds that viewers should expect something different from past editions as the show tries to always re-invent with each new edition.
“We’ve had positive feedback from BBA fans who love the challenge of entering in pairs. It’s great to see them embrace the change so enthusiastically,” said Alabi.
Nigerian Karen Igho emerged winner of the last edition of Big Brother Africa in 2011 alongside Zimbabwean Wendall Parson.

S/Africa unveils new immigration procedures as Nigeria accepts apology
PRETORIA (AFP) – South Africa on Thursday apologised for barring 125
Nigerians from the country and unveiled new immigration procedures aimed
at ending a diplomatic row between the continent’s two powerhouses.
The dispute blew up after immigration officials at Johannesburg’s main airport last week refused entry to Nigerians, saying their yellow fever vaccination cards might be fake.
Since then, Nigeria has turned away 131 South Africans in
retaliation, Foreign Minister Olugbenga Ashiru told reporters in Abuja.
Nigeria says the cards were unnecessary as the country is yellow fever free.
“We apologise for this unfortunate incident and we hope this matter will not in any way affect our bilateral relations,” deputy foreign minister Ebrahim Ebrahim told reporters in Pretoria.
“We’ve put into place certain mechanisms to ensure this doesn’t happen again, and we believe that this matter is closed,” he added.
Ashiru said he had accepted the apology, saying a South African envoy was expected soon to formally apologies for the row.
“Thereafter we will move quickly to ensure that we put machinery in place so that it will be a lasting solution, because we don’t want this to happen again because of our bilateral relations,” he said.
“We felt it was un-African to have deported well over 125 Nigerians in a space of two days,” he added.
Ebrahim said South African officials had agreed to reopen an airport clinic that would allow travellers to receive yellow fever vaccines on arrival. Immigration officials will also need a foreign ministry official’s consent before turning away large groups of travellers.
South Africa, the richest country on the continent, is struggling with its reputation for xenophobia — a perception that was reinforced after nationwide attacks on immigrants left 62 dead in 2008.
The government has moved quickly to mend this latest row.
“Cabinet expressed shock and regret at the reports regarding how African foreign nationals, particularly Nigerians, and other nationals from other parts of the world have been treated” at Johannesburg’s main airport, minister in the presidency Collins Chabane told reporters in Cape Town earlier Thursday.
Ashiru on Tuesday had accused the South African authorities of targeting Nigerians.
“What you see playing out is what we call xenophobia by South Africans against all Africans — not just Nigerians — including even those from their neighbouring countries,” Ashiru said.
Nigeria had been certified as free of yellow fever by the World Health Organization, the minister said.
“That is why countries in Europe and the US do not demand yellow fever cards from Nigerian travellers,” he added.
Friday’s incident prompted Nigeria’s Arik Air to suspend its flights to Johannesburg, though it has since resumed its service.
Arik, one of two airlines affected, said health officials had given the reason as incorrect or unrecognised batch numbers on the documentation. Proof of vaccination is mandatory before one can enter the country.

: Ten Years Old Girl Delivers a Baby
Ten years old girl, Gladys Chelagat on Saturday became the youngest mother as she delivered a bouncing baby boy at the Kericho district hospital through a caesarian section. Doctors confirmed the weight of the baby to be 2.8kg.
Among all the looming questions, is that of: who is the man responsible for her pregnancy to start with? (the father of the new born child). The child, who now has the new responsibility of raising a child, looked great as she wrapped her arms around her newly born son while sitting on the hospital bed.
We are yet to confirm all the circumstances behind this story and what might be the way forward in helping the poor child who is now faced with the challenges of being a single parent. However, we will follow up on the news for more information.

According to Sunday Mail, Ncube pleaded with the newspaper not to publish the story.
“I am sorry for what I did. I spoke to my wife and my daughter. I apologised for my actions because I just wanted my family back,” he said.
“I am sorry for what I did. I spoke to my wife and my daughter. I apologised for my actions because I just wanted my family back,” he said.
The father of three revealed he forgave his daughter for being a commercial sex worker and hired a therapist to counsel her.
“I don’t blame my daughter for what happened and what she was doing. I feel it was her way of expressing her feelings about the problems in my family,” he said.
“She has stopped that and is going back to school next year. My marital problems are not over, but we have a marriage counsellor who is helping us to get over this most difficult period in our marriage.”
His wife, Rosemary, said: “If it were not for my children, I could have divorced him a long time ago.
“But because I know the trauma that divorce has on children, I made a decision to stay.”

MediaTakeOut.com learned that last night, Rihanna made what appears to be a THINLY VEILED racist attack on Chris Brown's half Vietnamese GF Karrueche. You see she tweeted out a pic of a pack of rice cakes wearing the same GLASSES and the same EARRINGS that Kae usually wear.

Now hopefully this is just some kinda COINCIDENCE . . . cause we CAN'T BELIEVE Rih would do something like this!!!
Digital Photography
Everyone loves pictures, especially of themselves. In a social gathering, bring out the camera and everyone stands to attention, of course not so obvious that anyone else would notice; no one wants to be accused, even teasingly, of posing much too apparently. One wants to retain a little mystery. Anyhow, once the camera is out, suddenly people are having a good time, really determined not to be the party pooper. Nobody likes to see a glum picture, oh no. Smiles become more charming now, postures more alluring, and if they are on the beach, everyone jumps high. Picture perfect, they say. Why is Digital Photography so popular?
Almost everyone wants their picture taken—whether alone or in a group, whether with friends, loved ones, or with strangers; with pets, plants, or trees; with the horizon as backdrop, frolicking in the water, or simply lying on the sand, people just can’t get enough. They even get excited seeing a picture of their feet. Weird? Ha-ha! I’m sure not. People simply become kids again when it comes to picture taking. The world is suddenly more amusing, the ordinary green grass more arresting, the sky more enchanting, and their oh-so-familiar selves instantaneously more interesting.
Let’s face it. People, in one way or another, are obsessed with themselves. And what’s wrong with that? Perhaps it’s healthy narcissism. Why? See a picture of yourself with others and to who do your eyes immediately zoom in on? Yourself, of course! You want to see yourself first, wanting to see how you look. If you look good, then the day is suddenly so much brighter and you’d feel like you’re walking on air all day long. If you don’t look too good, then you couldn’t hit Delete fast enough, and almost always, you get a mirror and practice, determined to get that perfect angle, that perfect smile. The next time your picture is taken, bam! you look freakin’ good! Oh yeah. You’d be basking in the glory of mission accomplished. Oh the joy it brings! How simply wonderful! Such is the power of a picture.
Gone were the days when you have to look serious and stiff on cam. Remember Grandma’s photos? With the black-and-white image and the unsmiling faces, they look, er, lifeless. And with the outdated outfit, they
simply lack pizzazz. Some may even say, out of this world, literally. Since then, photos have become more colorful, in more ways than one, and people are just more carefree. People want to be wacky nowadays. After all, their friends are going to see them in Facebook. They want to make darn sure they look like they’re having a helluva good time. Dramatic emo photos are quite popular too. Perhaps because it makes them look like models, a glimpse into a more glamorous world, the mere pretense an experience in itself. Picture taking may just have revolutionized relationships too. Take a picture of me and you, and suddenly we’re friends, sort of. After all, we just made a memory, caught on film, or better yet, caught on cam—something of value, something to hold on to.
Much as we adore getting our pictures taken, the next logical step would be to get behind the lens, peering into that tiny, transparent glass, or eyepiece, our new window to the world. We go around looking for the unique in a world that we see every day and find that, in truth, the world is lovely, even in its most ordinary. Everything looks different, or perhaps it is us who are transformed, and the fact that we see so much beauty now is mighty exhilarating. And we rejoice for every great picture, as if the beauty we see is a new discovery. We are riveted not only in clean, attractive things, but also in the twisted, dark, or dirty. It’s quite addictive. In every picture, we rediscover the world we live in, its very complexity, and we love it even more. This may be one reason many people bring their digital cameras almost everywhere they go. They never want to miss a moment too great, an opportunity for a picture to create.
What is the preferred Camera?
Today, many are sporting digital single-lens reflex cameras, more popularly known as DSLRs, slung around their necks. Aside from vanity, the tendency for some to show off, people do love freezing happy memories, creating the chance to revisit them from time to time. Years ago, people would have been ecstatic just to get the plain digital point-and-shoot cam. Now, everyone is aiming for the more expensive, more technologically advanced, more professional-looking DSLR. They’re more bulky, yes, but the pictures they produce are so much better, and professional still photographers prefer them too.
Photographers
Professional photographers are constantly looking for that perfect shot. This does not necessarily mean having beautiful subjects. It’s about taking pictures that display the subject’s heart and soul, the humanness that bursts through in the spontaneity of a smile and the very innocence it portrays; in the little, fleeting, so-easy-to-miss emotions that give a glimpse to one’s thoughts. The thousand and one ways that identify each unique personality, ways that point out how thoroughly different each is from any other, though, ironically, our very difference manages to highlight the similarities we possess.
How important is the aspect of Light in Photography?
Essential to photography is the concept of light, and so professional photographers are concerned about aperture and shutter speed because aperture refers to how wide the lens is as it opens and allows light in while shutter
speed refers to the length of time that light affects the picture. Thus, as important as light is, it could also hurt quality. In motion shots, especially fast-moving ones, wide apertures are vital to let in a lot of light yet short shutter speed so exact images are captured quickly and the picture is caught and the window closed to control the amount of light. Learning about automatic settings and manual settings and knowing when to switch is significant. For beginners, the automatic settings can certainly give very nice shots. It’s important for beginners to just enjoy using their DSLR without being bugged down by all its ultra-high-tech features and such complexities.
The six automatic settings are the following:
• Portrait – useful when taking photographs of people, gives realistic skin tone
• Close Up – useful for close-up shots of small objects so they appear larger
• Landscape – useful when taking photos of landscapes
• Night Portrait – useful when taking shots of a person in low light
• Sports – useful when taking shots of moving objects
• Flash Off - useful when using flash is a no-no
With automatic settings, it is important to set the DSLR to automatic focus (AF). When taking the shot, the shutter button should be pressed halfway down. Once it focuses, press it fully to take the shot. After mastering the automatic settings, learning about manual settings comes next. You’ll have more control with the quality of your pictures then. Lastly, the software Adobe Photoshop is as necessary to the photographer as Microsoft Word is to the writer. There are other software programs for photo editing, but Photoshop is simply the best there is. You can do a lot with Photoshop. With a few clicks, you make your photos simply extraordinary. You can change the color of images, make certain images sharper, resize, and others. Photoshop is great!
What are the best DSLR Cameras?
Most people prefer a Canon or a Nikon. They are leaders in DSLR technology. Others also like Sony, Olympus, and Pentax.
Why is DSLR best for Digital Photography?
The digital single-lens reflex camera, DSLR, uses a mechanical mirror system. It has a pentaprism. A Pentaprism is a reflecting prism that has five sides and it is used to avert a beam of light by 90°. It directs light from the lens to the optical viewfinder found at the back. A DSLR has a focal-plane shutter, eyepiece, 4-element lens, matte focusing screen, reflex mirror, condenser lens, image sensor, and pentaprism. The DLSR has larger sensors compared to the point and shoot, creating the same picture angle and depths of field as in film formats. It also uses a phase detection autofocus system, a method of focus that is very fast. The DSLR optical viewfinder produces live image, thus the image you see through the viewfinder is the exact picture you get at the point of clicking. What are the best features of a DSLR Camera?
There is no time lag. What you see upon clicking is what you get. This is very important when taking pictures of subjects that are moving fast. The best feature of a DSLR is the ability to change lenses depending on photographic needs. Also, in 2008, came out HDDSLR or high-definition DSLR. HDDSLR has a movie mode capable of recording high-definition motion video. It uses the full imager area to capture HD video. It has much larger sensors compared to DSLR. When compared to normal camcorders, HSDSLR lack autofocus while shooting, an electronic viewfinder/preview, and powered zoom. Though not as good yet as normal camcorders, the technology for HDDSLR is constantly evolving and improving every day. All in all, DSLRs will certainly please both the novice and the professional.
Almost everyone wants their picture taken—whether alone or in a group, whether with friends, loved ones, or with strangers; with pets, plants, or trees; with the horizon as backdrop, frolicking in the water, or simply lying on the sand, people just can’t get enough. They even get excited seeing a picture of their feet. Weird? Ha-ha! I’m sure not. People simply become kids again when it comes to picture taking. The world is suddenly more amusing, the ordinary green grass more arresting, the sky more enchanting, and their oh-so-familiar selves instantaneously more interesting.
Gone were the days when you have to look serious and stiff on cam. Remember Grandma’s photos? With the black-and-white image and the unsmiling faces, they look, er, lifeless. And with the outdated outfit, they
simply lack pizzazz. Some may even say, out of this world, literally. Since then, photos have become more colorful, in more ways than one, and people are just more carefree. People want to be wacky nowadays. After all, their friends are going to see them in Facebook. They want to make darn sure they look like they’re having a helluva good time. Dramatic emo photos are quite popular too. Perhaps because it makes them look like models, a glimpse into a more glamorous world, the mere pretense an experience in itself. Picture taking may just have revolutionized relationships too. Take a picture of me and you, and suddenly we’re friends, sort of. After all, we just made a memory, caught on film, or better yet, caught on cam—something of value, something to hold on to.Much as we adore getting our pictures taken, the next logical step would be to get behind the lens, peering into that tiny, transparent glass, or eyepiece, our new window to the world. We go around looking for the unique in a world that we see every day and find that, in truth, the world is lovely, even in its most ordinary. Everything looks different, or perhaps it is us who are transformed, and the fact that we see so much beauty now is mighty exhilarating. And we rejoice for every great picture, as if the beauty we see is a new discovery. We are riveted not only in clean, attractive things, but also in the twisted, dark, or dirty. It’s quite addictive. In every picture, we rediscover the world we live in, its very complexity, and we love it even more. This may be one reason many people bring their digital cameras almost everywhere they go. They never want to miss a moment too great, an opportunity for a picture to create.
What is the preferred Camera?
Today, many are sporting digital single-lens reflex cameras, more popularly known as DSLRs, slung around their necks. Aside from vanity, the tendency for some to show off, people do love freezing happy memories, creating the chance to revisit them from time to time. Years ago, people would have been ecstatic just to get the plain digital point-and-shoot cam. Now, everyone is aiming for the more expensive, more technologically advanced, more professional-looking DSLR. They’re more bulky, yes, but the pictures they produce are so much better, and professional still photographers prefer them too.
Photographers
Professional photographers are constantly looking for that perfect shot. This does not necessarily mean having beautiful subjects. It’s about taking pictures that display the subject’s heart and soul, the humanness that bursts through in the spontaneity of a smile and the very innocence it portrays; in the little, fleeting, so-easy-to-miss emotions that give a glimpse to one’s thoughts. The thousand and one ways that identify each unique personality, ways that point out how thoroughly different each is from any other, though, ironically, our very difference manages to highlight the similarities we possess.
How important is the aspect of Light in Photography?
Essential to photography is the concept of light, and so professional photographers are concerned about aperture and shutter speed because aperture refers to how wide the lens is as it opens and allows light in while shutter
speed refers to the length of time that light affects the picture. Thus, as important as light is, it could also hurt quality. In motion shots, especially fast-moving ones, wide apertures are vital to let in a lot of light yet short shutter speed so exact images are captured quickly and the picture is caught and the window closed to control the amount of light. Learning about automatic settings and manual settings and knowing when to switch is significant. For beginners, the automatic settings can certainly give very nice shots. It’s important for beginners to just enjoy using their DSLR without being bugged down by all its ultra-high-tech features and such complexities. The six automatic settings are the following:
• Portrait – useful when taking photographs of people, gives realistic skin tone
• Close Up – useful for close-up shots of small objects so they appear larger
• Landscape – useful when taking photos of landscapes
• Night Portrait – useful when taking shots of a person in low light
• Sports – useful when taking shots of moving objects
• Flash Off - useful when using flash is a no-no
With automatic settings, it is important to set the DSLR to automatic focus (AF). When taking the shot, the shutter button should be pressed halfway down. Once it focuses, press it fully to take the shot. After mastering the automatic settings, learning about manual settings comes next. You’ll have more control with the quality of your pictures then. Lastly, the software Adobe Photoshop is as necessary to the photographer as Microsoft Word is to the writer. There are other software programs for photo editing, but Photoshop is simply the best there is. You can do a lot with Photoshop. With a few clicks, you make your photos simply extraordinary. You can change the color of images, make certain images sharper, resize, and others. Photoshop is great!
What are the best DSLR Cameras?
Most people prefer a Canon or a Nikon. They are leaders in DSLR technology. Others also like Sony, Olympus, and Pentax.
Why is DSLR best for Digital Photography?
The digital single-lens reflex camera, DSLR, uses a mechanical mirror system. It has a pentaprism. A Pentaprism is a reflecting prism that has five sides and it is used to avert a beam of light by 90°. It directs light from the lens to the optical viewfinder found at the back. A DSLR has a focal-plane shutter, eyepiece, 4-element lens, matte focusing screen, reflex mirror, condenser lens, image sensor, and pentaprism. The DLSR has larger sensors compared to the point and shoot, creating the same picture angle and depths of field as in film formats. It also uses a phase detection autofocus system, a method of focus that is very fast. The DSLR optical viewfinder produces live image, thus the image you see through the viewfinder is the exact picture you get at the point of clicking. What are the best features of a DSLR Camera?
There is no time lag. What you see upon clicking is what you get. This is very important when taking pictures of subjects that are moving fast. The best feature of a DSLR is the ability to change lenses depending on photographic needs. Also, in 2008, came out HDDSLR or high-definition DSLR. HDDSLR has a movie mode capable of recording high-definition motion video. It uses the full imager area to capture HD video. It has much larger sensors compared to DSLR. When compared to normal camcorders, HSDSLR lack autofocus while shooting, an electronic viewfinder/preview, and powered zoom. Though not as good yet as normal camcorders, the technology for HDDSLR is constantly evolving and improving every day. All in all, DSLRs will certainly please both the novice and the professional.

He asked me to wait for him at Ikumapayi Junction bus -stop but I refused to go there,” she said .
The teacher did not give up. When school resumed on January 5, 2012 and he sent somebody to call her.

He told me to wait for him at a bus-stop at about 4.00p.m. and I waited as directed. He came and told me the charm was in his friend’s house. I followed him and when we got to the house, we didn’t see his friend . He knocked on the door but nobody responded.”
“ Later, he told me to follow him to collect the charm , and he took me to a small hut and asked me to remove my clothes. I refused , but he forcibly stripped me naked and thereafter, raped me.

He said “In December 2011, I saw Yetunde’s report card and I discovered that she didn’t perform well. I promised to assist her, by giving her “prayer oil” when they resumed on January 5, 2012. I told her to wait for me at Ikumapayi bus-stop and from there, I picked her and took her to my friend’s house to give her the charm.”
“I took her to my friend’s house but he was not at home. I took her to a small house in the compound. There, I stripped her naked and had fun with her. I gave her N2,000 and the “prayer oil” and she rejected them,” he said.
The suspect, who hails from Egbeda Local Government Area of the state, said he had been wooing the girl since September last year. “I always noticed her whenever I was conducting Jumat for them every Friday.
