Rihanna: “I Can’t Say I Am a Role Model…I Always Made that Point” on Criticism
Rihanna is living life on her own terms.
To promote her new Mac Cosmetics line, USA Today caught up with the music superstar. Ri Ri dished on her creative side, being philanthropic and the non stop criticism.
While addressing the fact that people think she’s music’s other resident wild child, here’s what she had to say;
“I think they think I’m drunk all the time. I think they think I am always partying, that my house is probably a party all the time with tons of people and tons of music and no clothes. I think that’s what they think. I’m actually very laid back. I love watching TV on a big old couch by myself. I love to swim in the ocean or the pool.”
With the success of her three sold-out
collections for Mac Cosmetics’ first celebrity “creative partner”,
scoring an animated role alongside Jennifer Lopez and Steve Martin, one can clearly call her a role model as he breaks from the usual box.
Rihanna was quick with her reply; “I
don’t like to use that word because people have their own opinion on
what that means to them. I can’t really say I’m a role model. I’m not
perfect. I’m not trying to sell that. I want people to have fun but be
responsible, protect themselves and be in control of your life. You can
never judge people. I always made that a point. You never know what
someone is going through.”.
Ri Ri concludes that she’s only living in the moment. “It’s
in the moment. Even sometimes I go back to my Instagram and I’m like,
‘Did I really post this?’ I never know. One day I would never post this
type of picture. A week later, I like this post,” she says. “It’s when
I’m bored. It’s in the moment.”

Ramphele to join the DA, or not?
This from mg.co.za:
Agang SA leader Mamphela Ramphele has rejected a joint statement issued by the DA in which it claims Ramphele will accept DA membership on Monday.
Confusion arose on Friday over Agang SA leader Mamphela Ramphele’s joining the Democratic Alliance.
According to a joint statement issued by Ramphele and DA leader Helen Zille on Friday Ramphele would be welcomed into the DA at a press conference in Johannesburg on Monday.
The DA and Agang SA would next week formalise the integration of the two parties following Ramphele’s decision to stand as the official opposition’s presidential candidate in this year’s general elections.
However, following the joint statement being issued, a message from Ramphele was uploaded onto Agang SA’s website.
“You may have by now seen ‘joint’ statements issued by the Democratic Alliance in which it is claimed that I will be accepting DA membership on Monday,” she said.
“This is not true. Nor did I agree to any such statement. It is Agang SA’s position that the technical committee must first complete its work. I am leader of Agang SA, and Agang SA will continue its work to restore the promise of our freedom.”
Ramphele said the commitment she had made to Agang SA members in Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and Western Cape, stood.
Photos: California Allows First-Ever State Recognized Human-Animal Marriage
Father McHale who officiated the outdoor wedding told reporters he was extremely happy to be a part of this joyous moment of life. “This is the definition of true love my friends. There is nothing more sacred than the bond between a man and his faithful dog,” McHale said. “Now, since it is recognized as a legally binding marriage in the state of California, Mr. Horner and Mac will have all the same tax benefits and everything else coming to them that a regular married couple would receive. It’s a fantastic day to be alive!”
So how could this have happened?
In the book of California’s State Laws and Regulations there is a little known law that was passed as the state was first forming in 1850. According to article 155, paragraph 10, it clearly states: -
If a man and a man can get married and a woman and a woman can get married, if ever comes that day, then a human and animal will have the exact same rights to marriage in every eye of the law.
God help us if this ever is to happen! In attendance was Horner’s entire family who flew in from Hawaii to witness the event. Mac had her puppies on hand and making a special celebrity appearance was Alex from Stroh’s and Spuds Mckenzie. “I just love my Mac so much, I can’t wait till we can finally get back to the honeymoon sweet in Montana where bestiality is legal. Gosh, get with the times California! We can marry here just fine, but love making is a big no-no,” said Horner. “People keep asking me why I wanted to marry a dog.
I told them I just want the same god given rights that every person in California is allowed to have. Don’t tell me I can’t marry my dog. I don’t tell you that you can’t marry a 500 lb woman with gas issues. That’s your decision. Don’t tread on me. I love my dog and I know he loves me a hundred times more than any gay wedding out there.” With this wedding between a man and a male dog now on the books, one can only ask what is in store next?
A man marrying a toaster? A toaster marrying a dog? A toaster marrying a toaster?
What happened to the sanctity of marriage?
Happy New Month, People!!

Comedians laughing all the way to the bank
Days
are long gone when the comedy profession was seen as a job meant for
the never do wells. As it is at the moment, while so many people are
cracking their ribs, laughing at their jokes, these men (and women)
laugh all the way to the bank. They count their money in millions and
are getting more and more recognition. Now, they even export their jokes
and profession outside Nigeria hosting major events. To them, what they
do is no longer a joke but serious business. Saturday Beats looks at some of these comedians.
Basketmouth
Ever since Bright ‘Basketmouth’ Okpocha
came into limelight over a decade ago, this comedian has been
trailblazing the industry. Although he thought he would make it as a
musician, God had something else in store for him. In 1991, he
discovered his skills in drumming, which he did for over five years.
During his days as an instrumentalist for his church and a band at a
point, he also discovered his skills in rap music and later diverted
into that path in 1994. In 1995, he, his friends and brother formed a
group called Da Psychopaths. It had seven members but they split before
they could even release an album or a single. Now he is a
celebrated
comedian. He has a highly anticipated show scheduled for the UK. It is
reported that a bank has thrown its weight behind him by sponsoring his
comedy tour with N30m. The show is to hold this month in Manchester,
Birmingham and London respectively.
AY
Whenever Ayo Makun holds his annual AY
Live Show, it is usually a sell out. The comedian is a brand ambassador
to various products. He is also an active media person with several
television shows and a television channel on YouTube which was ranked as
the number one most watched in Africa. Although many would argue that
he is not the funniest of all comedians in the country, what he lacks in
stand-up comedy, he doubles it in his comedy skit. His comic skits are
known to be aimed at current controversies and controversial
personalities and have often times put him at loggerheads with subjects
of the skit. He recently settled a misunderstanding he had with his
friend and actor, Jim Iyke. No matter what, AY is sure making his money.
Gbenga Adeyinka
The brand Gbenga Adeyinka is synonymous
with Star Lager beer. For over six years, the chubby dark-skinned
comedian has been contracted to host events by the premium lager beer.
Be it Star Trek, Star Game Show and the recent Lagos Countdown organised
by the alcoholic beverage, the comedian has every reason to smile,
courtesy of Nigerian Breweries. Also, when it comes to major events, top
weddings and awards, Gbenga does such effortlessly. Gbenga would
certainly relish 2013 as he hosted so many high society weddings. While
the bride and groom beamed with smiles over their union, the comedian
beamed with smiles over his pay cheque.
Julius Agwu
Although he is into music, the comic
merchant is known for his dexterity when it comes to putting smiles on
peoples’ faces. Grateful for his life, De Genius as he is often referred
to, had to fend for himself by hawking pap at the age of six. But his
humble beginning didn’t deter him from turning out to be a mega star
today. His franchise, Crack Ya Ribs, has been a success over the years
and has toured various states in the country. The show is not only known
in the country, he has successfully hosted the show in London. The last
edition was well attended by Nigerian celebrities and top politicians.
He was spotted at the recently concluded Grammy Award ceremony.
Helen Paul
Helen Paul is not just a comedienne but
also an On Air Personality. Currently, she leads the pack of Nigerian
comediennes. She has a dual personality on stage and this works to her
advantage as she easily switches from Helen Paul to her alter ego,
Tataafo. The fair-complexioned comedienne is also a top choice when it
comes to government events. Just last year, she hosted an event that was
attended by the First Lady of the country and succeeded in making the
mother of the nation laugh. While the Dame was laughing, Helen Paul knew
after the show, it would be her turn to smile as she counted her money.
Seyi Law
Probably the youngest on the list in the
profession, the dark-skinned humour peddler has had a good run with
comedy. Prior to his fame which he got on AY’s platform, Seyi Law was
relatively unknown. At a point in his life, he had to hawk sachet water
and recharge cards at parks to earn a living. Today, all is history as
he has been able to build a multi-million naira mansion at Ikorodu
through comedy. He also recently launched an event centre and lounge
also in Ikorodu. With this, he hopes his laughter would be louder to the
bank this year.

Hmmn….Ice Prince Reveals Eva Alordiah was his First Lagos Sex Partner
Lemme drop this one here:
While performing at the second anniversary edition of the monthly Loud ‘N’ Proud Live music concert which held at Soul Lounge, Intercontinental Hotel, Lagos on Thursday, January 30, 2014, Ice Prince made a revelation about his past relationship with promising female rapper Eva Alordiah.
Before kicking off his performance, the rapper (who’s known for taking his time to give shout outs) revealed that Eva was the first girlfriend he had when he came to Lagos back in 2008.
‘Let me tell you something I’ve never said before in public,‘ Ice Prince announced as he pulled Eva from her seat onto the stage. ‘Eva was the first girlfriend I had when I came to Lagos; that was way back.‘
A surprised looking Eva then grabbed the mic, laughed and said, ‘I don’t know what he’s talking about.‘
Eva was strongly affiliated with M.I and the Loopy crew back in 2008 and 2009, right about when M.I released his debut album ‘Talk About It‘.
Ice Prince is also rumoured to have dated fashion designer Yvonne Nwosu in the past.
“Tired” Ciara writes an Open Letter To Bloggers; BLASTING WAS THE CASE
Using her personal Blog, Cici wrote:
I used to sometimes like visiting some of the blog sites to see what new things are happening in the world! Things like cool photos, current events, etc. But nowadays it seems like there’s a competition with sites on “Who Can Tear Someone Down the Most.” The stories are going from cool and creative to pure drama. Even the comment sections are beginning to get out of control and people are using the platforms to exercise a false sense of power.
People sure do have a lot of courage when they are anonymous. It’s like a “Who Can Say the Nastiest Comment Game.” I click onto some of the comments from something as fun as an Instagram post that you’re sharing with your fans, and a person finds a way to turn a positive post into a negative. I think to myself, “I could pick this person apart so bad but what for? Why act ugly like them?” It honestly takes the fun out of it when people seem so miserable.
Or at least that’s how I view someone wasting their energy to tear someone down, just plain miserable. They could be using that to do something much more productive. If only they could channel their energy towards positivity, it could make a difference in their own life as well as influence others. It’s kind of scary for the kids coming up, because even if a parent doesn’t allow their kids to have blog site access at home, they may still have access at school or other places. It’s now almost impossible to protect your kids from the vile things people say on blog sites today, and it’s even worse when kids hear hurtful things about themselves, their parents or other family members. In some cases kids have even resorted to suicide due to “cyber-bullying.”
My questions to people creating slander about people are:
What stops you from thinking twice about trying to defame someone? What are you trying to gain?
Words are powerful. You could say the wrong thing about someone, famous or not, on the wrong day and that could cost them their life because they’re at a weak point. Believe it or not, you could also be encouraging them to give up on their life or whatever the situation is, when they shouldn’t. Or what about a story that causes unnecessary drama stemming from completely false information? It’s just flat out wrong and sad. I say to myself, I thank God for making me strong, because I’ve always been able to use the negativity as motivation, and it makes me stronger.
But I don’t just think about myself in this, I think about others that I see getting thrashed and think it’s just so wrong. It’s very sad that people just want to tear people down so bad just to see them unhappy. It’s unbelievable how far people are willing to go to get people to come to their site.
I say this to say….
Dear Blogger,
It’s never worth it in the end when you sell your soul for a quick dollar, by creating bad stories about people. At some point, it will all reverse on you and you’ll end up regretting all the trash you wrote or said about people.
The universal friend “Karma” has demonstrated this over and over again. I strongly encourage you to project more positivity into the universe. If Social Media is a world that’s growing more massive by the day, why not use it to shed light?? Otherwise, you are merely contaminating our universe.
What about your family and kids?? Do you think about them?? You’re definitely creating a harmful and volatile environment where they must learn to live. It’s almost like you are cursing future generations with your bad energy.
Not to mention…Your “Personal Karma”??… Forget about it!
You better start doing some serious praying and rebuking, cause only The Lord knows!…:)
I sure do miss the good ol days when the focus was about the pure creativity of being an artist. Back then there was still some mystery. Social Media Is Beginning To Take Away The Specialness of What That Was, and Is.
Now, Off Blogs. Peaceful Mind. Living In My Happiness. Creativity Only.
Love, C
BENEFITS OF DATING SHORT GUYS
I never knew how it feels like when a girl is dating a tall guy not until recently when one of my colleagues started dating one. She’s always full of joy and in fact you need to see the joy on her face whenever she’s gisting us about her new boyfriend.
I became so worried that I had to do two things.
Firstly, I had to ask my girlfriend if she would prefer a short guy to a tall guy. Unfortunately, she said she would prefer a tall guy because she is short and she doesn’t want her kids to be dwarf. I think that is still acceptable because of this genetic stuff of a thing.
Secondly,I conducted a survey among the ladies around me and I also realized that 85% of them prefers a tall guy to a short guy. But I ogbeni Akinremi been the short type of Guy I decided to do a little bit of research on the “BENEFITS OF DATING SHORT GUYS”
With a lot of consultations and online surfing, I realized that short guys gives a long lasting relationship than the “ODUNLADE ADEKOLA’S” or the ” BOB MANUEL UDOKWU’S” because short guys don’t have many dating opportunities and once they have an opportunity to date, they always make judicious use of such opportunities by proving themselves worthy of such relationships unlike Tall guys who think they can get any girl they want anytime. So ladies, if you want a long lasting relationship,go for a short guys like Ogbeni Akinremi.
Ladies, do you know that a short guy won’t let you die alone? Ask me why? Studies have proven that shorter men live longer! If you date a man who struggles in the height department, your chances of ending up like the shriveled, old widow who lives all alone in the house across the street from you will statistically decrease. Also all men shrink when they age anyway! Your tall, young hunk will eventually transform into the hunchback, so why not cut to the chase?
Ladies if a short guy is asking you out,I think that shows that the guy is confident,brave and strong. He will prove himself worthy of your love. Because it only takes a brave decision for a short guy to ask a tall babe out and don’t forget that this is one of the qualities of good boyfriend.
And speaking of over-compensating, this is by no means scientific, but the general consensus from women seems to be that guys who don’t necessarily feel the most attractive will often work much harder in bed, whereas the Don Drapers of the world, who are used to being wanted and pursued by women, focus more on the act of receiving pleasure than giving it.
With all what have said, I think the ladies now know what they are missing or should I use the word lacking?
Ladies give short guys a chance in your life and you will never regret doing so.

You Risk 5 Years In Jail Or N10m Fine If You Insult Someone On The Internet - New Nigerian Cyber Crime Bill
Guys, I don't know why I find this very funny. But just incase you haven't heard, for using profane language on other people or pelting them with insults or abusive words on social networking sites, internet users in Nigeria now risk a jail term that ranges between 12 months and five years.
Craziest part - you can also get sentenced to death if you are not careful according to the Cyber-Crime Bill 2013, which is now pending before the House of Representatives.
Here are the listed offenses in the bill with their punishment. I compiled them from the report Punch just released.
If you as a Nigerian internet user:
- insults someone else publicly, through a computer system or network, you have committed an offense and will be liable on conviction to imprisonment for a term of not less than five years or to a fine of not less than N10m or to both fine and imprisonment.
- If you circulate or make any racist and xenophobic material available online, you get a jail term of five
- Cyber-criminals, who hide under the anonymity of the Internet to bully, harass other users of online platforms also risk jail terms when the law comes into full force.
- Anyone found guilty of posting messages deemed “grossly offensive, indecent, obscene” or messages aimed at “causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety” to another online user gets a jail term of 12 months
- If you bully, threaten or harass another person, through “information and communication technologies” or posts messages online that contains “threats to kidnap or injure” another person, you will be jailed five years or pay a fine of N15m or both.
- Then the craziest part I earlier told you about - if you commit an offense against what the bill calls “critical national information infrastructure” which results in death, automatically, a death sentence will be prescribed for you!
Part V, Section four of the bill prescribes the Office of the National Security Adviser as the co-coordinating body for all security and enforcement agencies when the bill becomes law.
Nollywood Actor Emeka Ike Gets Ejected!
This is not the best of times for ace actor and school proprietor, the very popular Emeka Ike known for so many things and love for scandal.
Cos according to MaestroMedia, the very well known actor turned educationist's school located at 1, Raji Olamideji Crescent, Magodo beside PMS filling station on CMD road was shut down or better still taken possession of by the court last week Friday, January 24, 2014 after a protracted court case that lasted all of 5 years.
From the little information they were able to gather, Emeka had had a running battle with the owners of the
property for the past 5 years, during which the well known actor refused to pay a dime to the property owners.
The school St. Nicholas College, a secondary school was established in 2008 by the ace actor. And according to the gist then, Emeka was supposed to have invested about N200 million in the making the school happen at the property that they have now been sent packing from.
All through the years of the school existence Emeka, his wife and the school had been engaged in one unconfirmed allegation after the other. Some of the allegations are as follows:
- none payment of salaries as at when due to the staff & teachers; he apparently used to owe many of those working for him for upwards of 6 months at a time.
- He was also alleged to prefer employing unqualified & non professional teachers in a school, where parents were paying exorbitant school fees thinking they were getting the best of education and more. So bad was the situation at the school at a point, that many parts of building were said to have been in a state of disrepair.
- At a point it was alleged that only 13 students remained in the school, as others had been withdrawn by their parents.
As at the time of filing this report, some of the remaining things that the bailiffs couldn't cart away are all still outside the school premises littering the frontage.
