Yep! 

I've been on a hiatus and guilty as charged! I've been trying to run away from doing another random as I have other stuff I so want to write about. But with the gaps in days I've left behind, a random post seems apt.

So here we go....

Rape is becoming a serious issue today and people are adopting a siddon look attitude at all! Now there's a gun designed for women for defense against tape. 

Sometime last year, a video came out advertising an anti-rape underwear. The odd contraption was so amusing I wanted to do a whole post on it but never got the time to do it. Trust fellow blogger, Verastic to have written something about it; she likes those kain things. 

'Pata' of protection....the anti-rape underwear

But i like the discussion The Young Turks did on it on Youtube.

So we heard of the anti-rape underwear, next we hear of a gun designed for women as defense against rape.  

According to a report:

Named after gang rape victim Nirbhaya, the Nirbheek is a small, lightweight revolver being marketed to Indian women.
The Nirbheek is a .32-caliber handgun made of titanium alloy.
Weighing in at just over a pound, it’s the smallest revolver made in India, and “ideal to fit a purse or a small hand bag,” according to the Times of India newspaper, which first reported the story.
The gun was designed to be a hybrid of a Smith & Wesson and a Webley & Scott and will come packaged in a maroon velvet case.

Hmmm....well, I guess that applies to indian women. I don't think you'll find Naija women carrying out that kind of precaution. Its either 3 things - 1.) They get 'odechi' (jazz) 3.) They are just not security conscious and don't even think about it.

Julius Agwu snapped a photo with Ciara at the grammys!

Yay!

At least that's the news everybody is getting on the recently circulating picture of Julius Awgu and Ciara at the Grammys.

But nobody would have told us that Julius didn't actually pose with Ciara but was just lucky to have paprazzied her along 

with his cheeky smiling face while she performed.

Oh...and it happened at the Grammy's after party. I had to mention that before people started getting the idea that it happened 

at the awards ceremony.

And then what's the big deal about having Ciara appear in you photo? If Kenny Ogunbe and Dayo Adeneye could get Ciara to 

chat with them on camera on Primetime Entertainment then I guess we can say this photo is just...duh!

Actress Nse Ikpe Etim will be seen in another Nollywood movie titled Devil in Detail (set for release on Februuary 14). What's making news about this particular upcoming flick in relation to Nse, is the fact that she goes nude in a scene in the movie. 

This has got to be a body double jo!

While I came across blogs and websites sensationalizing the claim that Nse goes nude in a new movie, there's nothing to prove that it is actually Nse that we see in the so-called nude scene picture circulating the net. Nobody seems to be considering the fact that it might be a body double. One site even goes on to say it wasn't a body double but Nse herself. How do you prove that? At least if Nse had looked sideways and we had seen her face profile, we would have believed. I don't think I buy it sha...

But I'll still say that there's a reason to believe - the fact that it was produced by Shirley Frimpong-Manso along with Chris Attoh; Ghanaian producers/Actor; and also the fact that many Ghanaian producers today are known to be uninhibited in shooting flicks with nudity in them. 

The Nse I know would doesn't do such kind of scenarios but if she eventually did...hmmm

Darey Art Alade is out to do another Valentine's day concert like he did last year where he invited Kim Kardashian to just come and show face, greet people for 15 minutes and waka for some ridiculously high millions of naira.

Well...he's inviting Kelly Rowland this time to be part of the event. Its reported that Kelly will join Darey in playing host to guests on the red carpet at the concert. 

Errm....wait, she's playing host? Is she not singing? 

I'm not sure having her just host is a fruitful use of Kelly...the babe sabi sing nah...why he no let her perform? Abi the money no reach?

Bringing Kardashian wey no get any talent was a waste of kudi but bringing a Kelly that can sing to just come and greet people and talk no make sense oh.

Darey abeg oh, no let money enter voicemail!

Thelma Okhaz is a fair complexioned Naija actress that's recently gaining popularity for extreme bleaching.

Before then, I have never heard of her.

Thelma...Before and After...

As for the bleaching saga...I'm still trying to figure out why someone who is already 'yellow' would decide to bleach some more.

I saw her 'before' pics and she looked sweet but after she underwent another round of bleaching, she went from looking fair and cute to white and scary. 

Even if you wan bleach (which I don't even support in the first instance) must you need to go as far as wanting to look like oyinbo? Instead of actually looking white, she looks like a frigging albino.

She looks so much like an albino in this flick...

And when people registered their displeasure over her extreme bleaching, she went ahead and tweeted:

Hmmm...is she claiming that she was inspired by Michael Jackson? 

Too bad if she thinks Michael actually bleached his skin deliberately.

Well, even if the skin 'photoshopping' doesn't do her good with people's views, at least, its making her more popular and obvious in dark places.

Abi?

Toke Makinwa and Maje Ayida must seriously be in deep deep love oh!

The couple was reported to have celebrated their 2 weeks anniversary of getting married.

Errr....okay cool.

But I pray their marriage lasts oh...because getting married is not living in fantasy but living in reality.

Marriage in the first few months or years can be rosy until you begin to see things you never knew your partner had or was capable of.

Instead of learning to cope and deal with the situation, many couples today end up getting divorced.

Celebrities are worst hit on this and being in the public eye does not make matters any better.

Reports say that Toke was cautioned to keep her marital life out of the public eye but she's not bothered at all by that. So its not a surprise that she's celebrating 2 weeks anniversary of wedded bliss...I pray she celebrates 10 years in time to come and more. Marriage is not an institution for the weak and easily deterred.

And so Dana airways has resumed flights again.

I still wonder how people still find it easy to continue to patronize the embattled airline.

It has over the years since the June 2012 crash generated all kinds of negative news. With the constant bad publicity, I would have expected the airline do do some serious damage control or rebranding to save face or renew the public's perception of them.

Instead, they are still there, operating as the same Dana air with controversy rooted all about them and doing almost nothing about it.

The only thing seemed to have been done is the acquisition of two Boeing 737-500 planes and the phasing out the old McDonnell Douglas aircraft that became infamous following the 2012 plane crash.

The planes are not brand new but not as old as the McDonnell Douglas they had before.

Okay oh...I hope they can gather trust from the doubtful public sha.

-------------------------------------------------------------

And that's the random for the week....what a way to end the month.

Have a nice Weekend y'all!
