TBoss is still basking in the euphoria of childbirth and motherhood as evident in her recent posts on Instagram.

Pregnancy is the one time you can get away with eating Any & Everything without feeling any guilt.
However, I wasn’t eating much which was totally weird considering that I am such a Foodie
I didn’t exactly have much cravings either: I couldn’t eat anything spicy anymore ‍♀️I enjoyed pickles & green olives more than usual.
I drank a lot of Cold water.
I would guzzle water like I had been lost in the desert. The usual Caprisonne & Ribena. Actually I drank more than I ate.
What peculiar cravings did you have during your pregnancy?

Christmas is here and with it comes the anticipation of the release of Nigerian movies.

Many movies are now scheduled to premiere during the December period, examples are Wedding Party 2 (2017) and Chief Daddy (2018). Probably a strategy by the producers to make more money but you can tell that it’s definitely working as these movies sell out at cinemas.

As the tradition, here are the top 5 blockbuster movies you can watch at the cinemas this December.

 1. Muna

The movie stars Adesua Etomi playing the leading role alongside Adam Huss, Sharon Ifedi, Robert Miano and Onyeka Onwenu.

Muna is the story of a spirited girl raised by her grandmother; the last surviving member of their family. Muna’s driving desire to provide a better life for herself and grandmother in the land of milk and honey leads to shady characters that will change the trajectory. Landing her smack dab into the hands of traffickers. That experience turns her once golden heart into one driven by stone-cold revenge on those who stole her innocence. In her grand plan, love was never on the agenda. When secrets and betrayal complicate her strategy, she has a tough decision to make. Will she remain a prisoner of her past or allow love to set her free?

The story is by award-Winning author Unoma Nwankwor, screenplay by Kevin Nwankwor, Joe Leone, Liam Parry and directed by Kevin Nkem Nwankwor.

Muna premiered in cinemas on Friday, December 6.

2. Your Excellency

About a year after ‘Chief Daddy’ recorded outstanding success, EbonyLife Films owned by Mo Abudu has release d another highly anticipated movie ‘Your Excellency’.

Your Excellency’ tells the story of Chief Olalekan Ajadi (Akin Lewis), a bumbling, billionaire businessman and failed presidential candidate, who is obsessed with Donald Trump. Just when his campaign looks set to be another disaster, Ajadi is anointed by a major party and becomes a credible contender – all through the power of social media.

As the drama unfolds, it seems possible that even the most inept candidate, with little to offer voters except viral soundbites and amusing antics, can mount a serious challenge for the presidency through the power and influence of social media.

Directed by Funke Akindele-Bello, which is also her directorial debut, the movie boasts of a star-studded lineup.

Some of them include Funke Akindele who plays lead actress, Shaffy Bello, Kemi ‘Lala’ Akindoju, Kunle Coker, Eku Edewor, Emmanuel ‘EmmaOMG’ Edunjobi, Alexx Ekubo, Aletile ‘Seyi Law’ Lawrence, Bimbo Manuel, Ini Dima-Okojie, Chioma ‘Chigul’ Omeruah, Helen Paul and Toni Tones amongst others.

The movie premiered on Sunday, December 8 and will hit the cinemas on Friday, December 13.

3. Merry Men

Merry Men 2, The sequel to the 2018 blockbuster, ‘Merry Men’ is another movie everyone is looking forward to this month.

Produced by AY Makun, ‘Merry Men’ tells the story of four Abuja’s most eligible and notorious bachelors dubbed ‘The Yoruba Demons’, who are known for their thriving businesses, palatial homes, fast cars and penchant for beautiful women.
For the sequel, AY, Falz, Ramsey Nouah, and Jim Iyke return as the Merry Men, and Williams Uchemba joins them as the fifth Merry Man.

BBNaija star, Alex Asogwa makes her Nollywood debut in the ‘Merry Men 2′ alongside, Nancy Isime, Linda Osifo, and ace actress Iretiola Doyle.

Merry Men 2 will hit cinemas on Friday, December 20.

4. Kpali

Though relatively unknown compared to the others, it is one movie bound to captivate

‘Kpali’ is the story of Amaka, a young Nigerian and Investment Banker, who has 30 days to secure a resident permit (Kpali) in the UK or face the consequence which might include disappointment or deportation.

Directed by Ladipo Johnson, the movie stars Inidima- Okojie, Kunle Remi, Uzor Arukwe, Seyilaw, Linda Ejiofor, Abounce, and Linda Ejiofor.

Kpali is set to hit the cinemas on Friday, December 20.

5. Sugar Rush

Sugar Rush is one movie that has been on the lips of people since its release date.

Directed by Kayode Kasum and produced by Jade Osiberu, the award-winning ‘Isoken’ producer, the movie is set around the events that occur after a missing $800,000 is found by the main characters, Sola (Bisola Aiyeola) and Sussie (Adesua Etomi).

Things, however, take a darker turn, as different claimants come into play, seeking to regain the lost money by any means possible.

Some of the cast includes Bisola Aiyeola, Adesua Etomi, Bimbo Ademoye, Banky W and D’Banj who makes his Nollywood debut.

‘Sugar Rush’ will hit cinemas nationwide on Wednesday, December 25.

Miss South Africa Zozibini Tunzi has been crowned Miss Universe 2019 ahead of Miss Puerto Rico.

She beat over 90 contestants from around the globe. This makes her the third South African beauty to wear the prestigious crown.

When asked what the most important thing we need to be teaching young girls today, Tunzi told host Steve Harvey:

“I THINK THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE SHOULD BE TEACHING YOUNG GIRLS TODAY IS LEADERSHIP. IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN LACKING IN YOUNG GIRLS AND WOMAN FOR A LONG TIME. NOT BECAUSE WE DON’T WANT TO, BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT SOCIETY HAS LABELLED WOMEN TO BE. I THINK WE ARE THE MOST POWERFUL BEINGS IN THE WORLD AND THAT WE SHOULD BE GIVEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY. THAT IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE TEACHING THESE YOUNG GIRLS. TO TAKE UP SPACE. NOTHING IS AS IMPORTANT AS TAKING UP SPACE IN SOCIETY AND CEMENTING YOURSELF.”

Following up on her superb response to the question, Tunzi clinched the crown with her closing statement.

In her closing speech, a new segment in the competition, the 26-year-old spoke of breaking colour stereotypes and wanting to empower young women.

“I grew up in a world where women who look like me with my kind of skin or my kind of hair are not considered to be beautiful, I think that it is time that this stops today. I want children to look at me and see my face, then see their faces reflected in mine,” Zozibini Tunzi said.

The post 21 Celebrity Looks From The Premiere Of ‘Your Excellency’ appeared first on Nigerian Celebrity News + Latest Entertainment News.

Sports as a collected term represents one important area of national life which most nations of the world continue to emphasize. Such countries use it to project their image. Flowing from this fact, there is, therefore, the need to develop the area as a way of integrating a country into the global nexus. Sports development involves the mass media which contributes to this development in a number of ways.

Sports has become one important area of national life worldwide. Every country usually attempts to be recognized as a force in one sport or another. The involvement of every country in sports emphasizes the indubitable fact that sports occupy a prime place in world affairs. Hence different countries struggle to dominate others in different sporting activities.

The Olympics and football World Cup are the two biggest sporting events in the world. Every country strives to be represented at these events. Sports can be said to be the second most important aspect of global interaction, next only to politics. Despite the politicization of sports, it is equally used as an instrument of globalization. Sporting events, such as a boxing bout involving heavyweight contenders, attract spectators worldwide with a focus on either the pugilists or their countries, or the country where the bout is taking place. Any country that wants to place itself under global glare may resort to sports.

Sports and sports development

Although the term sports betting is clear as regards what it entails, a precise definition can be quite elusive. It is in this regard that sports were “a highly organized physical activity, regulated by accepted rules, which sometimes requires maximum physical and mental exertion”. From the explanation by Wikipedia, it is clear that some of our traditional sports which do not involve physical exertion but provide entertainment, such as Ayo and Draughts are de-facto sports and there is the need to develop and promote them to international standards and recognition.

The essence of sports development can therefore never be overemphasized. By development, is meant not just the improvement of facilities of one sport or the winning of more laurels in particular sporting activities. Development involves improvement of facilities, adoption of better policies that would enhance participants’ improvement in their chosen activities, creation of awareness and generation of interest in sports as well as diversification of focus to include other sports that have been neglected in order to improve them in all ramifications.

To realize an appropriate level of development, the relevant organs must be involved. These are individuals, corporate bodies, government as well as the mass media (and television in particular). What role can television play in this configuration and what has television done in this regard so far? A critical analysis of these questions and an attempt to answer them would reveal whether Nigerian television has performed creditably or abysmally in the area of sports development.

Sports development and Nigerian television

It has already been stated that sports development involves the improvement of facilities, creation of awareness, encouragement of participation, formulation of policies that should create the conducive atmosphere needed for sports to thrive in the society and so on. When such development takes place, the sportsmen and women who eventually represent the country in sporting events would be better placed to win laurels and the country would be placed on the appropriate pedestal. Besides, at the individual level, the generality of the country’s citizens would reap the benefits of their involvement in sports. Such benefits include financial enhancement, employment, therapeutic benefits and so on. Of course, when the citizens of a country are developed mentally and financially, such a country is equally developed. Internationally, the country’s benefit includes the attainment of a better image among the comity of nations. It may also improve relations with other countries who may want to visit the country in view of the peaceful atmosphere which sports would enhance, and this can boost the tourism potentials of the country.

But the actual Nigerian television comprising the local stations must be distinguished from the others that are involved in satellite transmission or cable. The local stations’ signals can hardly be received fifty kilometers from such stations. And these stations are not well -equipped to engage in the type of broadcast needed to develop Sports. They are financially handicapped. So, it is the satellite broadcasting stations that are the protagonists in this regard. DSTV, owned by Multi-Choice- a foreign company, is the major culprit of media imperialism in terms of the phenomenon’s perpetration. It has a plethora of stations ranging from Supersports 1 to Supersports 9 with only one of them devoted to African football. The point being made here is that television has failed to perform its role in sports development. This is in all ramifications, as television in Nigeria has completely deviated from focusing on local sports.

Thus, the much-needed awareness and interest in local sports have been lost in the frenzy of the moment whereby emphasis is fully on foreign sports. There is therefore, a lamentable lack of interest in sports development since television has failed to create awareness in the first place. The conclusion then is that television has not contributed to human development in this regard. This could have impacted on general national development. We are therefore unable to harness all the benefits sports can bring to the individual, the community and the nation in general.

Going to different places and occasions require you to wear something that matches it. At times, you also find yourself wearing clothes that depend on your mood or taste. Mostly, people find that wearing clothes solely depends on emotions. For instance, if you’re too tired to select clothes from your wardrobe, you might want to go for simple jogging pants and plain shirts. Happiness, sadness, or even excitement from your looming first date, your choice of clothes play a big part.

Indeed, we are all brought into this world nude and shivering, but it doesn’t omit the fact that the force clothing brings and our perception to ourselves, the people around us, and the whole world. There comes a time that the style of clothes that we wear on a daily basis has become a sort of protection that relays messages to the subconscious mind and to the individuals whom we share interactions with or avoid to meet every single day. Pretty sure that the clothes we pick not only match our emotional state but it can also change it as well. There are many instances of how wearing clothes can affect your mood for the day.

Even though dressing up takes up a lot of effort, especially to a majority of guys, the impact it has on our mood or emotional state proves its huge worth otherwise. One study pursued by a team of researchers involved a hundred women in order to show the positive impact of styling up themselves with their most favorite jewelry, dress, or jeans. On the other hand, the other participants who did not make an effort to dress up stylishly and failed to incorporate it into their daily morning routines are feeling less positive as they start their day. Try dressing up the next time you go out, you will definitely see an increased change in your mood, elevating your aura and confidence as you strut into the streets. If you’re gambling at a nearby casino, it will also add to your willingness to win as you hold your chin up high, as surely, clothes affect emotions.

Being presentable is key to negotiating your side. If you are fond of wearing clothes that seem too shabby or ugly, then it would be the deal-breaker for your impending negotiation. The principles of dressing up in accordance with the negotiation motif apply to both men and women. A particular study with men as participants took place. The men who joined the research were asked to don suits that fit an upper-class theme. Meanwhile, other guys are told to wear sweatpants that rightfully belong to a lower-class level of formal negotiation outfits.

After wearing their clothes, they were interviewed by a subject who doesn’t know everything that took place. After the study, the subject has chosen participants who wore formal outfits while the other participants who wore sweatpants flunked the interview. Moreover, the men who wore upper-class outfits garnered positive feedback more than the latter. With that, it is important to pay attention to the clothes that you’re wearing and choose pieces that are stylishly fit for closing a deal. Otherwise, you will be kissing a successful negotiation farewell.

As always, remember to pay attention to the clothes you’re wearing because it surely affects your mood, one way or another!
