Dbanj- Oliver Twist (Official Video)

YAY or NAY

This long awaited video has finally surfaced and well, it's not what I was expecting. It has too much going on...

While he has his G.O.O.D Music fellaz Kanye, Big Sean and co, with our fav white boy who does the azonto so well, Vujanic, I still wish it could have been reverted with the presence of Don Jazzy. Why did that have to "split"?


Anyway, check out the video which was premiered today on AfricanTVMusic:








Was it worth the wait?

Oily Summer??

...for my ladies with oily skin...

OK summer's around the corner, and the sun is already emerging with full force, even though it's spring!

Well, for those of you wondering how to keep your make-up intact when you're out in the sun, here's the deal...

Sometime last year, I came across a very wonderful product+remedy for oily skin. Came to find out that Milk of Magnesia (I'll call it MoM for short) helps control that! Yes, the very same MoM that's used for constipation! (It can also be used as an antiperspirant or to relieve dandruff.) 

MoM acts as a primer for foundation and can be used as a facial mask. It works by drying up the skin **if you have dry skin, I wouldn't recommend you use this** 

It DOES not heal acne however. It is highly affordable and sells from $5-$10+ depending on it's size and manufacturer. You can purchase it at your local drug store. I got my Phillips'online from Walgreens.

National Youth Service Corps (NYSC)

Lately, I've been hearing of Nigerian youths in America going back to Nigeria to "serve". Well my curious mind wanted to know all about NYSC and this is what a friend of mine explained to me:

"It's a period of time where you serve your country for a year, immediately after graduation after which you get a certificate. It's important cos some companies demand it when hiring. And if you want to go into politics in future, you'll also need it." She continued by saying " NYSC starts with postings-- people are posted to different states in Nigeria where you get your 3weeks orientation done in the camps in these states. After 3weeks, you'll be attached to a government body or a private company if you get lucky to work there for the rest of the year. During this time, the government pays you, so does the place you work."

Now it all makes sense, thanks Biola...but I still don't think I'd be interested in that, especially since I've been hearing stories like road trip accidents, kidnaps/robbery (of those "abroad"), etc. However, I wish those of you planning on going all the best. Don't forget to pray ;)

MAKE JOSEPH KONY VISIBLE!

At about, I came across an Invisible Children's video on YouTube which was very touching. Let's say I cried throughout!  I wished I could do something, and  my heart melted knowing that I can't. However, I took it upon myself to learn more about this organization and the people working hard to put KONY to a stop.
No, we're not trying to make him famous in a good way ( as in a good person), but trying to put his name out there to bring him and his forces down and to a halt!

In a nutshell, he abducts kids in his hometown in Uganda, turns the boys into child soldiers, and the girls into sex slaves, makes them kill other people, as well as their parents! And what if they try to escape??? Well he beheads them!

Below is the video that brought me to tears:

Let's make KONY a household name— make it viral. Like all pages; share videos on blogs, tumblr, twitter; send as emails, texts; make phone calls, tell your friends to tell their friends...just spread the word!

May God bless and enable these people to do more. I pray that He gives them the strength and courage, and also bless their hearts. May all our efforts not be in vain (Amen).
