HOW GUNMEN ATTACKED ONLY CHRISTIANS AT KENYAN SHOPPING MALL, KILLS OVER 20 CHRISTIANS,GETS OVER 50 INJURED

Gunmen stormed a shopping mall in Nairobi, Kenya some days ago killing over 20 people in what could possibly be a terrorist attack. An eyewitness claimed the gunmen told Muslims to stand up and leave the mall and that only non-Muslims would be targeted. By the time they finished shooting indiscriminately, at least 22 were dead and at least 50 people injured.

One survivor said and that the attackers started from the Westage mall ground floor and made their way to the top. He said they had grenades and AK-47 rifles and he saw at least five of them. Local TV stations reported that the gunmen took hostages as soldiers and local policemen surrounded the mall. Another survivor said he was shot at by a man who looked like a Somali.

The Somali militant group al Shabaab had previously threatened to attack hotels, nightclubs and the Westgate mall, which is one of the biggest malls in the city, popular with the city's expatriate and foreigners but there's no official confirmation for now that the group is behind this attack.

Security guards were seen wheeling out bloodstained bodies in shopping trolleys as soldiers continue to comb the mall looking for the gunmen. Kenyan Red Cross said at least 20 have been killed and more casualties were still inside the complex.

MERCY AIGBE SAYS SHE CAN BUY A BAG OF #5M IF SHE LIKES IT

I am sure a lot of us read about Toyin Lawani's N550,000 Mongolian hair yesterday here. This morning Punch published an interview of Mercy Aigbe, and she was asked if she could buy a hand bag for N5m. She didn't want to say yes straight away, but she manged to say it when she answered the reporters question. "I love fashion. One thing about fashion is that when you see something you like, if you don’t buy it, you’ll not have peace of mind till you get it, no matter the cost.''.  See the question , her answer below;

Can you buy a handbag for N5m?

I don’t know. I cannot say the amount I can spend on an item. I love fashion. One thing about fashion is that when you see something you like, if you don’t buy it, you’ll not have peace of mind till you get it, no matter the cost. That is the kind of person I am, and that is why I cannot say how much I can spend on an item. Most times when I see things I like and I have the money, I buy. I am working hard and making my money. If it makes me happy, why not get it? We only have a life to live. At the same time, I also know that there are people that I can reach out to and put a smile on their faces. So what I do is find a way to balance both.

I AUCTION MY CLOTHES TO MY FRIENDS BECAUSE I CANT WEAR THEM TWICE-YVONNE VIXEN EKWERE

The Tv presenter told punch the reason why celebrities like her,why she can not wear a cloth twice;

Whenever I am on the Red Carpet and paparazzi takes my pictures, I always say ‘chei! So I will not wear this dress again?’ The pictures will be plastered everywhere including the Internet and magazines. It spoils show for me. It is not that we don’t like wearing a particular dress for more than one event, but we’ll rather not do it.But you will abuse me if I repeat a dress. People would write that we repeated a dress. Because of that, I wear a dress and since I know I will not wear it again, I dash it out. I give my assistant my clothes. I give to family members and friends as well. But then, I auction my clothes to my friends on twitter

PETER OKOYE'S NEW TWEET AND LOOKS

FIVE FAMILIES QUALIFY FOR MALTINA DANCE HALL FINALE

The race started on September 1, 2013 with ten families in the picture; however, five families were unable to survive the unique introduction of dance styles from the 1960s to date hence the title, “The Evolution” of dance.The five families that made it to the final stage of the exciting family dance reality show convinced the judges that they are capable of being among the last families that would compete for the prizes.

It was an emotional night at the first eviction showdown as two families - Dosa and Clement families – became the first two families to be evicted from the show. The show, which started airing on September 1, 2013, opened with dance performances from the 60s-70s and 80s-90s. After the first dance performance from the 60s-70s the Dosa and Clement families were put up for possible eviction. The Asiyefia and Ebute families later joined them for possible eviction after the 80s-90s dance performance.

As is the custom in the Maltina Academy, the four families had to perform the two dances from the 60s-70s and 80s-90s in order to put their acts together and convince the judges that they have the capacity of going the extra mile. The eviction showdown started with the Ebute family dancing to the 1978 song Le Freak by Chic; then the Asiyefia performed the 1979 song Ring my bell by Anita Ward; the Clement family did the 1978 song I will survive by Gloria Gaynor and the Dosa family ended the first part of the show with the 1977 hit song Staying Alive by the Bee Gees.

At the second eviction showdown which featured  Our Own dance performance – a dance style that incorporate Nigerian unique dance styles like Alanta, Azonto, Etighi etc – and Wazobia dance styles, the Asiyefia and Enweribe families were put up for possible eviction. The Ekado and Ebute families joined the two families for possible eviction after the Wazobia performance. In the battle to remain in the academy, the four families had to perform the two dance styles to prove to the judges that they still have what it takes to remain in the academy.

The Wazobia dance performance – a dance style that incorporated Nigeria’s indigenous dances - started with the Enweribe family dancing to the Sato dance from Badagry, Lagos State; the Ekado family performed the Uyai dance from Akwa-Ibom while the Ebute and Asiyefia families performed the Sharo dance from Sokoto, Sokoto State.

The judges were impressed with the hard work and effort each family made by fine tuning their various dance routines to prove that they wanted to retain their stay in the Academy. However, one family had to be evicted and after much deliberation the Asiyefia family was asked to leave.

During the third and final eviction showdown, the Ekado and Ebenezer families were evicted in an emotion laden episode which witnessed some of the best and determined dances the show has ever seen. But the judges had to make the decision because there are only five slots for the grand finale. As it stands, the Ebute, Briggs, Ibrahim, Enweribe and Ikumoinein families would battle for the crown of Nigeria’s number one dance family today.

Speaking on the show, Mrs Ngozi Nkwoji, Senior Brand Manager, Maltina, said “evictions are always emotional and the last eviction is the hardest. However, only five families can go through to the Grand Final and only one family amongst the five will win the grand prize. Our judges have done their best in selecting the best five now it’s up to Nigerians to vote for their most favourite family. Every family in the Grand Final has an equal opportunity to win”.

Meanwhile, Nigerians, and not the judges this time around, would determine the wining family through voting which opens on Friday September 20, a day before the grand finale.

MATSE RELEASES STATEMENT AFTER BEEN SACKED FROM NIGERIAN INFO

Some of you may have heard that popular Radio Personality Matse Uwatse Nnoli was fired from her job at radio station, Nigerian Info, two years after moving to the station from Wazobia FM where she worked for many years. There have been reports in the media that Matse was fired because 'she lacked discipline and couldn't be called to order'. Matse says this is totally false and has released a statement.
Dear all, compliments of the day to you.
I believe a lot of you must have heard of the recent termination of my job as an OAP (On Air Personality) on 99.3 Nigeria Info Fm. Well, it is true.
I have read on several blogs that I was sacked for being arrogant, rude etc. Even recently that I lacked discipline. If I lacked discipline, I wouldn't be successful in my career. I believe discipline, integrity and honesty goes hand in hand with true success. Ask those who  have met and known me and they will tell you that this is what I live for. I am not perfect, I have made mistakes but who is perfect?

I prefer to be silent on matters like this but since silence is assumed to be consent, I will not consent to my hard earned reputation being dragged to the gutters. I worked too hard for it.

On the 2nd of September 2013 while on admission at First Consultant Medical Centre, Lagos. I received an email while on my sick bed, announcing my termination. Honestly, I was not angry but a bit shocked. I had been too sick lately due to my pregnancy and was not at my best but I expected my company to be supportive of me. Yes, I wanted them to be supportive of me because I had worked hard over the years to bring them much glory.

I know that I will see all sorts of articles and comments to discredit me but I simply ask this of you all. If you have ever met me and I was unpleasant to you, feel free to vent but If you don't know the real me and all you have heard are insinuations, hold your peace.

I love people and always wish them well. My mentees and honest colleagues will testify to this.I love progress because I believe the sky is  big enough for all the birds to fly. AIM Consultants. I am not mad at you. I believe when one door closes, another one opens. I have served you well over the years, brought you accolades. So please, let me go in peace and insiders in the Organisation who do not like guts should not use it as an opportunity to tear me down. I am a good person and YOU
ALL KNOW THIS!

God bless AIM Consultants, I learnt a lot from you and I am grateful. God bless us all!
Matse Uwatse Nnoli
