Nigeria's Top Model: What Happened...

Hey everyone,hope you had a great weekend?Here's hoping that this week is off to a flying start. So yeah,we attended the Nigeria's Top Model Event...and blogged on Saturday about the winner...uber short post!...and the first thing we have to say about the show is that the modelling was "On Point"!!! No, 2face wasnt there,neither was Omotola nor D'Banj...;-) but there were a few highlights.

Performances:
There were performances from Tavian who sang the national anthem...Chocolate Blonde (she's apparently got a music video that will be played on MTv soon)...oh my days this girl came up n started singin a song nobody knew but when she and her dancers started bustin moves to a faster version of "Candy Shop" the crowd was so hyped and it was indeed a good performance to get the show started, Benz and Rims, a Calabar dance troupe and Kas also performed...and his performance was prob'ly the most memorable,his dancer had the whole male attendees in awe and some of the females ones too wiv her booty clap and shake...teww mad!!!

The Catwalk:
...The girls modelled in 4 stages; 1st off in casuals...white tees and skinny jeans, 2nd--"Gele" still with their white tees, 3rd--Bikini...this part was so funny, trust naija guys now...wen the girls turned to walk off, guys were screaming cos of their butts...it was so funny! and the last stage was in Couture designed by Adebayo Jones (apparently there was no time to change into the Deola Sagoe's designs). Typical stuffs happened like a model fell...she probably must have bin embarrassed but she was actually not laughed at!Lol...Overall it was an alryt show but bearing in mind that it was a first timer,i'm sure the next one will be better...we enjoyed it cos the 'Model' we were rooting 4 won!!! You can catch the show lata on BEN TV sometime this week...but as that channel rarely ever follows the order of programme,u myt be lucky to switch on and catch it...and you can watch live streams online now here 4 u guys outside the UK.Here are just random pictures from the show, we r waitin on the professional pics from the producers...but we'll put it up as soon as we get 'em.

President Obasanjo admits to flawed Guber elections.

INEC probe Guber elections in Ondo,Edo,Imo,Enugu and Delta States.

Armed militants attack Bayelsa Government House where Dr Goodluck Jonathan(Governor and PDP's VP candidate) was in.No lives were lost,but the attack lasted 35 minutes and a combined team of soldiers and mobile policemen repelled the attack.


Saturday 21st April:
Truck Bomb which was set to crash into National Election HQ in Abuja was thwarted...no lives lost...just delay in voting...As at early that morning,ballot papers had not reached some parts of the country...with voting not starting till afternoon in some places.

Sunday 22nd April:
The largest independent observer group (Transition Monitoring Group with 10,000 monitors across Nigeria) denounce the presidential election saying rigging and incompetence had so tainted the process that only a new vote could correct it.Numerous cases of blatant ballot-box stuffing,intimidation and other apparent efforts to skew results were reported and they also said the election never occurred in 13 of the country's 36 states.

Moving on Swiftly....

Onto lighter topics now tho...

New Kid on the Block:
Lol.....(thanks to c0dec for the link!)
M.I: He has crafted a style that is different from the rest and is about to take the world by storm. His music is so refreshing because he is himself through and through, and MI tells all who listen to his music to do the same. Growing up in Nigeria and Michigan, MI has seen the success and plight of people living in the land of the free and a third world country; but he sees hope for his country and all who lifes struggles. He also provides a means to get the party started with music like 'Crowd Mentality' and paints vivid pictures in 'Stereotype'. His influences include Fela Kuti, Lauryn Hill, Jay-Z and DMX. It doesn't matter who you are, what you do or where you live. MI is sure to touch you in a way that you are bound to remember. His debut album will shed light on who MI is, where he's been and where he is going. He's keeping it sexy for the ladies, gritty for the men, and provokes thought for all...He's doing it for his hometown Pyeri; JOS. Get ready for his debut album titled "Pyeri Boy"......
here is a link to his song:Crowd Mentality . Make sure u show him some Naija luv by hittin up his page and u can find out more about him and his music..on here (skip to the song Feel e; b4 u knw it u will b bumpin ur head 2 it)
Thanx 2 C0dec 4 d link...


Yet another reality tv show...its a dance show though, information about it comin soon. But ryt now its not yet about the contestants; its about Looking for TV Presenters for this international dance show that will be aired on NTA, in Canada & the U.K. If interested send a mail to chief@dancehousenigeria.com describing yourself and attach your pic.

Video Alert:
Stylee: Dj Jimmy Jatt ft Mode9 and 2face

WEEKEND DIGEST:

Hey,whatz guud everyone?TGI Friday...and it's mad sunny aswell!!!Anyways,str8 to today's post...

NEWS CORNER:
Prof. Maurice Iwu(INEC Chairman)has directed the police to arrest any state governor,minister and other top government officials or politicians found within the vicinity of polling stations after casting their votes in the forthcoming elections and the Inspector General of Police also said he has uncovered a plot by some politicians to sew police uniforms for their loyalists who would move during elections with vehicles bearing fake police number plates, so as to create confusion and perpetrate evil.
Lol,i see they are not taking chances...we know what kind of "magomago" can ensue...!

And just when you think we couldnt have any more public holidays...the Federal Government declared yesterday and today work free days to enable Nigerians to participate effectively in the forthcoming general elections.The public holidays will also allow eligible Nigerians who registered outside their places of work to travel home for the exercise.
You see the government aint playing,so all eligible voters should please "rock the vote"!

Tinapa....

TopUpNigeria:
Just when you think there are no more avenues for pple back home to "Obtain" money ;-) A new service called "TopUpNigeria" will be launched soon and it basically does what it's name suggests...You can use the website to top up your loved ones and families mobile phones in Nigeria from anywhere in the world AND (here's d important bit) It will also be the fatest way to send money back home!!!!

The website will be launched in the UK on Mayday.Any queries, just contact Ropo on +447951536726.

Click HERE for the proposed website.


NEWS CORNER:
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) yesterday said two British firms will manage the transmission of the results from the Presidential, Governorship, National and State Assembly elections slated for April 14 and 21.The British companies are Gilat and WITNESS.This comes as election observer missions numbering over 200, at the weekend, besieged the INEC headquarters seeking accreditation to monitor and observe the elections.

British Telecom (BT) has pulled out of the technical services agreement with Transcorp for the management of NITEL and MTel. Transcorp, with BT as its technical partner had acquired a 51 per cent stake in NITEL last year under the privatisation exercise handled by the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE).But in a letter to Transcorp, BT cited the unavailability of working capital needed to turn around NITEL and MTel, and the lack of adherence to corporate governance principles by the companies' management and their boards as the reason for its decision to withdraw from the agreement.In recent weeks,Transcorp shares recorded a slump with a drop from N9.71 kobo per share to N8.34 kobo per share.Since trading resumed last week,Transcorp's shares have slumped again,closing in at N7.93 kobo a share by end of trading last Thursday.
