The 15-Year-Old App Developer
Not only is she one of the youngest coders to be making major waves in the tech world, but 15-year-old Helena Mark is also one of the only girls changing what used to be the dude-dominated coding world. After developing her first website in 5th grade and publishing her first app in 8th grade, Helena just beat out hundreds of students to win a scholarship to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. Helena is using her coding skills for good, working on a new app called AdoptMe that helps shelter pets find homes. “Through the input of volunteers, the app compiles posts to social media pages that links individual animal stories together with hashtags and creates a story for each animal,” she explained. “The faster we can get pets adopted, the more animals a shelter can help.”

Video: GEJ and PEJ "Diarris God o" Animated Parody

I was just sent this super-hilarious video by a friend and I thought it too funny to keep to myself alone.

The video depicts our president and wife in the bedroom and PEJ with tears flowing laments the fact that “na only one person waka come”. All the time, GEJ is trying to calm her down. At this point, the couple break out in song, doing a comical version of PSquare’s hit tune, Personally.

Dubbed the World Ugliest Woman, Lizzie Velasquez Wants to Help You Beat the Bullies

Heartlessly, she was dubbed ‘the world’s ugliest woman’ but now, Lizzie Velasquez has beaten the bullies and turned her life around by standing up to the cruel taunts.

Lizzie, 24, from Austin, Texas, was born without adipose tissue – meaning she has no body fat and despite eating up to 60 small meals a day, remains at a delicate 4 stone.

Video: Tiwa Savage’s Wanted

Directed by Mr. Moe Musa, the thrilling video is just what I expected from the Queen of Nigerian pop music.

If I tell you now that she wore just one costume for the whole video, you might get disappointed, but I will be quick to say, "oh what a costume it was….." It definitely was enough to keep you interested in the three and half minute video.

The song which samples the hook from Damien Marley’s tune, Jamrock, is off her debut studio album, Once Upon A Time. It's a catchy, lyrically rich number and the video has got some innovative moves which I am touting to create the next trending moves you will be seeing all over Instagram.

It’s already looking like a Youtube hit in the making with almost 350,000 views since its release there on May 27, 2014.


Watch the vid after the cut and please let me know what you think, especially about the opening scene *winks*

Video: Amerie’s Comeback Single ‘What I Want’ is Sure to be What you Want, Trust Me

It’s been 5 years since we last heard from Amerie. In2009, she released her newest album Love and War and while it was popular with critics, it didn’t quite have the same momentum as her 2005 smash hit, 1 Thing. The good news though is that she’s back with a single that I think is sure-to-please.

Much like 1 Thing, the funky track boasts a killer sample – the hook of Sugarhill Gang’s infectious classic, Apache – that will leave y’all lyrically lovestruck and strapping on your dancing shoes.

Amerie’s next album is called Cymatika Vol. 1but there’s no official release date yet.

Well, Tunde Edwho? That’s the question that I hear most people asking, but if you follow the Nigerian entertainment scene, you might have heard the name. the comedian/musician has been off the scene for a while now.

In what seems to be a move to relaunch himself on the scene, Mr. Ednut posted a photo on Instagram and captioned it, “Just felt I should drop this!” The photo of a man’s chiselled abs was eventually discovered by fans not to be his own and you can trust that they were quick to call him out.
