Beauty/Fashion tips for the rainy days

It’s that time again where every where is wet and the sun hardly comes out(though when it does it’s brutal). It’s pretty hard to maintain your make up and excellent style in this weather. The excess moisture of the weather makes the hair dull, flat and tangle easily. The skin is at higher risk of fungal infection. as fungus is borne in humid weather. It can easily enter the skin through wet pores.
The temptation to just dress sloppy because your clothes might get ruined by the messy ground and rain is higher. Here are some tips on how to keep you hair, skin and clothes perfect during the raining season.

Always have an umbrella in your bag! Be bold and get an umbrella with bright but chic colors that can help brighten the mood.

Apparently Vanguard's reporter Yemisi Suleiman, Chioma Akpotha and Comedian AY were all on the same flight back to Lagos where they went to attend AMMA Awards. Yemisi and Chioma got into a fight. Vanguard published their own side of the story, but Comedian Ay is saying the story is quite different.

Vanguard Writes...

Like most Nollywood stars, Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha is not given to pretence. She’s always ready to vibrate and return fire-for-fire.Last Sunday evening was not different. Following the frustration and exhaustion that greeted everyone after the AMAA awards and the endless wait at the Port-Harcourt International Airport, Chioma boarded the evening flight back to Lagos, however something happened!

Stanbic IBTC sacks 250, Visafone sacks 60 workers

Why are Nigeria companies laying off staff? Yesterday April 30th Visafone fired over 60 of their staff nationwide. Stanbic IBTC also sacked 250 of their staff. The sack takes effect from today May 1st.

The Stanbic IBTC sack yesterday crossed across all levels, from management to lower level staff and they said this is just the first batch. The bank is planning to do another round later this year.

The sack at Stanbic yesterday only affected full staff employees as the bank intends to make its workforce 20% permanent staff and 80% contract staff. The total workforce before the sack yesterday was about 3000. The sad part is there are so many fresh graduates in the job market...and no jobs!

"I never planned on marrying more than one wife"- Actor Solomon Akiyesi

You all must have heard the story about Nollywood actor Solomon, who was disgraced by his wife Lilian during his secret church wedding  to his mistress, Uloma ?
In a statement he released to Sunnewsonline.com, he said his first wife, Ezinne was deceitful and greedy, and that if he hadn't left Lilian his second wife, he would have committed suicide. But Uloma, the 3rd woman he attempted to marry, gives him true love and inner joy. See what he said below..

Over the last one week, hell has been let loose on me. I’ve not only suffered verbal attacks, but also vituperations and near fisticuffs, all because of another futile attempt of mine at my journey towards achieving that which I honestly and passionately desire – a peaceful home and family. Social network sites and blogs have been awash with how I left Lilian, my “pregnant” wife, to marry Uloma, my Lagos “mistress” whom they also claimed was pregnant for me. Nothing can be farther from the truth.

Only a mad or cursed man would simply leave his pregnant wife and elope with another one. And lest I forget, I urge you, as you read this, to have an open mind to listen to that which is true instead of taking sides and jumping into wicked conclusions with its attendant wicked insults and uncouth commentaries about how Solomon is running his life and how he is not. I’m not asking for pity or trying to buy anybody’s love at this time.

Jason Collins ex-fiance of 8 years had no idea he was gay; speaks

Jason Collins dated Carolyn, a '6''6' female basketball star for eight years and even proposed to her. In 2009, a few months to their wedding, Jason called it off and ended things with her. Carolyn told TMZ yesterday that she never once suspected that Jason was gay while they were dating and only found out this past weekend when he revealed everything to her before coming out to the world and also told her his homosexuality was the real reason he ended things with her in 2009. Carolyn told TMZ:

"It's very emotional for me as a woman to have invested 8 years in my dream to have a husband, soul mate, and best friend in him. So this is all hard to understand."

"I care about Jason tremendously and only want the best for him. I want Jason to be happy for a lifetime and stay true to who he really is, inside and out."
