Celebrities / Leg Insurance - Taylor Swift Allegedly Insures Her LEGS For $40 Million by ERella: 7:45am On Mar 10, 2015
Grammy-winning Taylor attributes a huge slice of her global success to her energetic stage performances.
So it doesn't come at much surprise that her team have apparently looked into how much it would cost to insure her legs against potential career-threatening accidents.

The Pennsylvania-raised star is embarking upon a global tour in May and the move is said to be a precaution against such a physically-demanding schedule.

Politics / The Fear Of Buhari Is The Beginning Of Stoppage Of Corruption - Okorocha by ERella: 2:45am On Mar 10, 2015
Chairman of All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors Forum, and governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Ojorocha made the statement yesterday when he revealed that seven Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governors were secretly holding meetings and strategizing in favour of his party for the polls.


This came as national leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, said the federal government has allegedly diverted money meant to insure security men, especially those fighting insurgency in the North East.
Okorocha, who spoke at APC campaign rally in Amuwo-Odofin Local Government Area of Lagos, did not, however, name the PDP governors involved.
According to him, the action of the PDP governors further indicates that the ruling party was afraid of the APC presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.)
He said: “Buhari’s victory has been sealed and delivered and today, about seven governors who are not APC are coming to hold meeting with us privately. There is fear in the country and the fear was that they know that Buhari is a good man and he will win.
“They know that once the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC announce Buhari as the winner of the presidential election, all the bad people who are embezzling the country’s fund will leave the country at night. The fear of Buhari is the beginning of stoppage of corruption.’’
He noted that after Buhari assumed office in 1983, he stopped open defecation before it became entrenched again and eradicated all forms of indiscipline.
Okorocha said the glory of the country would be restored because the change that gave rise to APC had started.
“PDP died immediately APC was formed and we scheduled the burial of the party for February 14 but they postponed it to March 28. We are waiting patiently to bury the party forever. But let me tell you that you can change the date of burial but you cannot change the burial. It must take place.
“The worst thing that can happen to any nation is to have a bad government and the worst thing that can happen to any family is to have a bad father.
“Today, it is obvious that PDP is a bad government and we thank God that we came together to change the bad government,” he said.

Tinubu knocks Jonathan for failed promises
Also speaking at the rally, former governor of Lagos State and a chieftain of APC, Bola Tinubu, lamented that in spite of failing to fulfill promises made to Nigerians in 2011, the Federal Government, under President Goodluck Jonathan, was yet to apologise to Nigerians and explain the reason for the failure.
He said: “Jonathan never says to Nigerians, I am sorry. Today, he cannot pay insurance for the life of the soldiers and the police who are working in danger.
‘’They have concentrated money in bribing people. The exchange rate is very high and he says he wants to make vehicles for Nigeria.
“Majority of Nigerian youths are looking for jobs. Six years ago, he appealed to Nigerians that he had no shoes and because of that people voted for him. The President has spent six years in office and he is yet to do what he promised Nigerians.
“He has failed in the area of power and that has affected many small and medium scale businesses. Today, they are asking for people to pay for electricity they don’t use. That is double jeopardy; money for diesel, money for electricity failure. Can we allow that one to continue? We need change.’’
While noting that the forthcoming elections was not about religion or ethnicity, Tinubu urged the electorate not to vote on the bases of ethnicity, tribe or religion.
“If a government has been there for 16 years and you don’t see progress, you must move out of that government; send them away. Enough is enough. Failure is not part of us.
“Our brothers and sisters from East, there is no difference between us. The vote is about salvation, happiness and together in unity; we can rescue Nigeria and lead it to prosperity,” Tinubu said.

Technology Market / Google Says Humans Could Live For 500 YEARS by ERella: 11:07pm On Mar 09, 2015
Google has invested in taxi firms, smart thermostats and even artificial intelligence but it is also setting its sights on immortality - or at least increasing our lives five-fold. 

In an interview with Bloomberg, Google Ventures' president Bill Maris said he thinks it's possible to live to 500 years old. 
And this will be helped by medical breakthroughs as well as a rise in biomechanics.
He has already ploughed money into genetics firms and cancer diagnostic startups and said: 'We have the tools in the life sciences to achieve anything that you have the audacity to envision. I just hope to live long enough not to die.' 
Mr Maris founded Google Ventures in 2009 and oversees all of the fund’s global activities.
He studied neuroscience at Middlebury College and conducted neurobiology research at Duke University.

Travel / (photos) The World's Most Remotest Island by ERella: 6:44pm On Mar 08, 2015
Accessible only by a six-day boat journey from South Africa or as part of epic month-long cruises through the South Atlantic Ocean, Tristan da Cunha is about as far from a quick holiday destination as it gets.


The world's most remote inhabited archipelago stands 1,243 miles from Saint Helena, its closest neighbour with residents, 1,491 miles from South Africa and 2,088 miles from South America.

It's just seven miles long and 37.8 square miles in area, and has but one settlement officially known as Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, referred to by locals - less than 300 of them - as The Settlement, located at the foot of the 6,765-foot Queen Mary's Peak.

But despite its unimposing size and formidable remoteness, Tristan da Cunha has a rich history and a plethora of native wildlife that is truly unique.

Celebrities / For The Nigerian Woman by ERella: 4:22pm On Mar 08, 2015
Mabel, a 300 level student from my school  bought form to contest for one of the top positions in the Student Union Government, this was the first time a girl would boldly stand up to vie for any seat in the SUG. There were about three other guys vying for that same position.
The guys all came to our hostel begging for us to vote for them and we girls always gave them a warm welcome whenever they came for their rallies.

Mabel too started with her rallies, after going round the girl's hostel, she visited one of the boy's hostel for her rallies and on getting to the gate, she got the shocker of her life. The guys especially the ones vying for the same position with her refused her entry into the compound with questions like... " what do you know you want to go and do in the SUG?". She pleaded with them to allow her in, to no avail.To cut the long story short, we the girls all came out en masse to vote for her and she won and am sure she can handle that position just like any other person or guy.

I know this gender inequality issues happen in almost every parastatal of the government and we all need to have a rethink on it and give women equal chances as the male folks. Let’s see past this 'women are the weaker vessels' talk. 'Superwomen' are emerging everywhere like strong nations and it will be a pity for Nigeria to be left out!.

To all the beautiful and hardworking women all over the world especially the African woman, the African mother, thanks for being there for your husbands, children and families.

TV/Movies / (photos) World's Biggest Pitbull Being Taken Care Of By A Nice Family! by ERella: 6:34pm On Mar 05, 2015
These white folks kinda like rough play, later they will be crying over spilled milk, e.g my pet ate my son's hand off... lol.
His name is Hulk. Well, look at him - what else would you call him?

Weighing twelve and a half stone (175 lbs), he is believed to be the world's largest pit bull. And because he is only 17-months-old, he hasn't stopped growing yet. 

Proud owners Marlon and Lisa Grennan, from New Hampshire, say their monster pet is 100 per cent trusted with their three-year-old son, Jordan, despite the breed's fierce reputation and even let him ride the animal like a horse.

Indeed, photographs show the toddler happily riding on the canine's back, grabbing the collar just behind its 28-inch wide head. 

While pit bulls are branded 'dangerous' with breeding bans enforced in the UK, Mr Grennan claims they are actually very caring and fit for the family.

Poems For Review / Am Not A Poet... Just Scribblings by ERella: 12:17am On Mar 05, 2015
Myriad of feelings
None lasting more than a few seconds
Each extinguishing the other swiftly
Like a goalkeeper diving for a ball
I try to catch the latter
Only to be overwhelmed with the former

Heartbeat skyrocketing
Thoughts jumping back and forth
Heaviness overshadowing happiness
Like the night upon the day
Can't seem to shut my mind off to any
Both hold more than meet the eyes

Amazing day - just a thought from me to you
You seem stingy
I feel you should have shared your day holdings
Yeah maybe with another bland day
Tomorrow please be a little nicer to me
Can't imagine how a day can be so wealthy

Celebrities / How Many Years Did It Take This Man To Consume This Much Bottles Of Drink by ERella: 3:10pm On Mar 04, 2015
These are the shocking pictures taken by a landlord of his house left stacked with empty bottles, cigarette ends and food scraps.

This is how one resident lived for several years, in the home filled with so much rubbish they weren't able to see their own carpet, let alone walk on it.
The landlord was left to clear it up when he entered his property after the long-term tenant, who has not been named, moved out.

Chai!, this man is a 'pigirigi' and the bottles though... he must be a state drinker...lol.

Romance / Chai, This Woman Just Made Another 'yahoo Boy' Richer by ERella: 11:37am On Mar 01, 2015
Chai, this woman just made another 'Yahoo boy' richer
Somebody should please help snap this woman out of her dreams before she starts to steal her family's properties in order to send more money to her African love..lol.

 This woman has defended her decision to sent $1.4 million to her online lover in Africa - who she has never met.
Twice-divorced Sarah met Chris Olsen online 18 months ago.
Though the mysterious man's accent has changed over time, and he keeps asking for money to be wired to various different countries, Sarah insists she is '95 per cent certain' that he is telling her the truth.

Despite his numerous attempts to come home so they can be together, she says, he keeps getting arrested on false charges.
In an interview with Dr Phil, Sarah explained that they speak for hours on the phone each day.
She described the moment they met on the internet: 'An attractive person came on there and said "wow you look like you wouldn't hurt a fly". I said "wow this guy's really handsome, I can't believe he's talking to me!"'
He told her he was called Chris Olsen, who hailed from Milan but moved to the U.S. 18 years ago.
Currently, she says, he is based in Africa on business, and has been for more than a year and a half.
When they met he said he was in South Africa. After a brief stint in Nigeria, he relocated to Benin, Sarah explained.
Within seven weeks of meeting, he professed his love in a gushing email that referred to her as 'Mrs Olsen'.
And days later, he sent the first of many requests for money.
She has now sent him $1.4 million in total for hotel bills, calling cards, lawyers, an expired visa, stolen credit cards, and bail.
Last June, she even had to sell an apartment she owned to wire him $550,000 bail.
However, she believes he is trying his utmost to make it home.
Sarah concedes that there are suspicious elements to his story: 'When I first started talking to him,' she told Dr Phil, 'He sounded Italian now his accent's kind of changed I don't know if he's adapted to where he's at... in Benin.'
But, she concludes: 'I still believe in love.'

Politics / Russian Opposition Leader Killed In Attack A Day Before Major Anti-putin Protest by ERella: 9:53am On Feb 28, 2015
A leading Russian opposition politician and vocal critic of Vladimir Putin was gunned down in a 'politically motivated' drive-by shooting on the streets of Moscow this evening.
Former deputy Prime Minister Boris Nemtsov was under surveillance by his killers before they fatally shot him down in the shadow of the Kremlin a day before a major anti-Putin protest.
He had been working on a report presenting evidence he believed proved Russia's direct involvement in the separatist rebellion that erupted in eastern Ukraine last year.
An unidentified assassin killed the liberal politician - who had been tipped as a future Russian president - with four shots fired while he was walking with a woman across a bridge.  
'The murderers knew Nemtsov's route, he was spied on,' said a source. 
He was shot in the back just metres from the Kremlin shortly after midnight local time. His female companion, a Ukrainian citizen, was unhurt.
President Putin condemned the murder and said it may have been a contract killing, according to
Russian news agencies.
US President Barack Obama has also condemned the 'brutal murder', the White House National Security Council said tonight on Twitter.
The White House called on the Russian government to conduct a 'prompt, impartial and transparent investigation' and to 'ensure those responsible are brought to justice.' 
Obama said he met Nemtsov in Moscow in 2009 when the Russian was willing to 'share his candid views with me'.
'We offer our sincere condolences to his family and to the Russian people, who have lost one of the most dedicated and eloquent defenders of their rights,' he said.

Celebrities / Awww..kanye West Breaks Down In Tears During Radio Interview by ERella: 1:08pm On Feb 27, 2015
Rapper Kanye West was forced to pause an interview after he broke down in tears, while discussing the late fashion professor, Louise Wilson.

The 37-year-old was being interviewed by Radio One's Zane Lowe and discussed his 'inspirational' friend, who died in May last year after a battle with breast cancer.

 Kanye became very emotional and Zane asked him if he wanted to take a minute as Kanye's sobs became audible.
Zane stood up and patted Kanye on the shoulder, before the performer agreed to take a minute and left the room. 'That’s never happened to me in an interview before,' he confessed as he returned.

Kanye attended Wilson's memorial service held at St Paul's Cathedral in London on February 20.
Was so surprised when I came across this, but I thought to myself that he is only human after all...

Vin Diesel expecting baby number three with wife Paloma Jimenez
He sure knows how to lead a private life, this is my first time of meeting his wife. He is expecting a third child with partner Paloma Jimenez, according to a Wednesday report from The Hollywood Reporter.  

And because the 47-year-old actor wants to be by her side when she gives birth to the baby, the Abu Dhabi premiere for his film Furious 7 has been canceled. Her due date is believed to run close to the film's April 3 release date.
Vin, one of the action film's producers and biggest stars, reportedly pulled out of attending the planned March 10 premiere in the United Arab Emirates capital in a move that surprised insiders who planned a 'splashy' presentation.
The secretly-kept baby news has forced the film's distributor, Universal Pictures, to reschedule the premiere to April 1 in Los Angeles to accommodate the actor, according to THR.

Family / Wow! Meet 10 Yrs Old Esther Okade That Has Been Accepted To Study Maths In The U by ERella: 1:54pm On Feb 25, 2015
She spends her spare time in a similar way to many other ten-year-old girls - playing with Barbie dolls and making loom bands.


But the key difference between Esther Okade and other children her age is that she has been accepted to study for a university maths degree - despite not going to school.
Esther, from Walsall, West Midlands, has enrolled on an Open University course months after she passed her A-levels - and wants to study for a PhD before running her own bank.
The girl, who gained a C grade in her maths GCSE aged six, has joined the course which started this month. Her younger brother Isiah is already studying for his A-levels - also aged six.
Mrs Omonefe Okade added that Esther - who will study for her degree at home - was ‘flying’ and ‘so happy’ when she was accepted by the university, and wants to be a millionaire.
Does her mum's name not sound Nigerian to you and Edo to be precise?
