THE CONVERSATION: THE GOSSIP AT PHUMIE’S SALON

Abraham - March 28, 2014

Women-in-salon

If your name has not been mentioned or used at Phumie’s salon, then you haven’t crossed the salon when Fumi and her girls are at work. They know a thing or more about everybody who stays around their shop.

The ladies were attending to customers one Saturday Evening when Pastor Femi drove by. Pastor was on his way to church. The moment Pastor Femi drove by, the following conversation ensued.

Funmi talking to her customer…

Funmi: Baby look… look na

Customer: Where?

Funmi: That black Corolla

Customer: Okay, what’s up with it?

Funmi: The guy driving it is a pastor.

Customer: Okay

Funmi: His church is just down the road. Do you know he is still single with all his money?

Customer: Where is his church?

Funmi: Just down that street where you have those PHCN transformers. You know that place?

Customer: Yes.

Funmi: Ehen..After those transformers, there is a road by your left. Once you enter the street and go down a bit, you will see the church

Customer: okay…okay. I remember the place now.

Funmi: Good. If you see how babes flock that his church ehn

Customer: yes now. What do you expect?

Funmi: I don’t know why he has not married even with all those ladies all around him

Customer: Well, I don’t know.

Funmi: Say the truth, in your mind; don’t you think he will be…

Customer: Funmi!? Everybody can’t be like that.

Funmi: Well, if you say so o

Customer: It’s like you’ve attended the church before?

Funmi: Why?

Customer: You sound like one with a fair knowledge of the church

Funmi: Hahahaha

Customer: did you?

Funmi: Yes. I worshiped there for almost four months

Customer: Hmmm…So what happened?

Funmi: My dear, nothing o

Customer: Talk na

Funmi: True, nothing happened. Well, sha, the pastor is a good man. But the guys in that church? Their heads no dey here o.

Customer: Tell me the gist na

Funmi: Nothing jor. Only that those guys in that church are just pretenders

Customer: You have said that part before. This one you are sounding this serious, what did they do to you?

Funmi: Don’t mind that yeye guy that calls himself Chris. What those boys do there.

Customer: Okay, don’t worry. It looks like it is a difficult one.

Funmi: Well, let’s leave that one. All I know is that those boys don’t listen at all to what the pastor is preaching.

While she was still talking, Funmi saw Chris standing at the other end of the road. Chris waited for the road to become less busy before he crossed.

Funmi: See him, that guy standing over there. The guy spotting a red top.  That’s the guy I’m telling you about.

Customer: That guy?

Funmi: Yes

Customer: I know him. He comes to our compound. His girlfriend abi fiancée stays there.

Funmi: Seriously?

Customer: Whatever happened to you, when did it happen?

Funmi: About two months ago.

Customer: Hehehe…guys oo. Do you know they have been together for more than a year now?

Funmi: Look at him very well; are you sure it is the same person?

Customer: Is it not that guy standing there. I know him well.

Funmi: You do? Wow!

Customer: It means he deceived you big time. Pele o

Funmi: You see my point now? Those guys, every Sunday they suit up and look like angels.

Customer:  Did he…?

Funmi: If he didn’t, would I be complaining. I noticed the very week he did, his attitude changed. He started avoiding me.

Customer: He got what he was looking for, that’s why.

Funmi: Na God go

The customer cuts in…

Customer: Don’t bother to curse him. See, it doesn’t work. I understand your pain very well. However, there’s no need to be bitter now.

Funmi: Why? He deceived me; he ravaged my body and collected my money.

Customer: But he didn’t force you to sleep with him nor rob you. I am sure you gave him both willingly.

Funmi: Well it was from the way he presented it.

Customer: How did he present it?

Funmi: He was complaining one day that he didn’t have money; I gave him 20k that day.

Customer: You see.

Funmi: I spent about 250k on that guy in that short period we were together.

Customer: Funmi, take it easy in this Lagos o. I am not saying you should not spend money on your guy o. However, don’t spend money in such a way that it would pain you later.

Funmi: But why are men always like that? Very deceitful

Customer: That is the part I don’t like Funmi. How many men have you met in your life to generalize that men are like that? There are plenty good guys out there.

Funmi: I wasn’t one to generalize until I was disappointed by three guys back to back now.

Customer: Sorry my sister. Sometimes it happens that way. But that does not mean that all men are the same. In fact, we are the ones that make the men look the same.

The customer looks at the hair Funmi had worked on. She yawns as she stretches.

Funmi: I will soon finish

Customer: Okay. So what do you plan to do now that you know that you were never his?

Funmi: Nothing. That one is in the past now.

Customer: Great

The customer rises as soon as Funmi announced she was done making her hair. She stretches and yawns again and again.

Customer: Thank you Funmi.

Funmi: You are welcome. See you soon

Actress Nuella Finally Speak About Her Relationship With Tchidi Chikere

Abraham - March 28, 2014
Nuella-Tchidi-March-2014
There has been rumours about Tchidi and Nuella for almost a year and the couple finally confirmed their marriage date. Nuella released a statement confirming the wedding slated for this weekend in Anambra State.

Read statement below:
“Let me start by confirming some of the rumours you may have heard. Yes, the traditional marriage rites between Tchidi Chikere and I will be performed soon. This was not the way we imagined or planned it, but as they say, nobody has a crystal ball to tell where or who we end up with. Life is a dice.
At the time the rumours of his separation/divorce and me being involved was going on, I definitely was not in that space where some story writers said I was. I was busy doing other things with my life, other preoccupations, a relationship (I thought would lead to marriage), and my acting career. Things happened, my relationship packed up and we went our separate ways, I moved on.
Tchidi and I have always been friends (As I am with other colleagues), We trade in the same career, but we never crossed that line (we never dated), not to talk of me getting pregnant for him ( I’m presently not pregnant as still being written) sometimes It’s really tiring confirming or refuting some of these rumors. I know some naysayers would still believe what they have made up their minds to believe and stick to; Truth is, I am not making this statement for those set of people, neither am I making it to get people on my side. This statement goes out to those who love me and truly care about me and the way I live my life, and to my very reliable and supportive fans who have been asking questions and deserve to know the truth.
In the past two years, Tchidi and I worked more, we got closer and more friendly, we were both single and I began to understand and see the real him. Needless to say that I also began to really , really like this real person I was getting to know more and more with every passing day. Then it happened, our hearts clicked. Well, maybe the flying rumours contributed to this and made me look more his way, or it could have been part of life we have no control over.

Suffice this to say, he proposed to me a while ago and after very careful thought and consideration on every side I said yes. Would I say no because of what people would say and damn where my heart led me? Just like Bill Cosby said, ‘the key to failure is trying to please everybody’. I chose not to take that route, instead follow my heart.

My heart is remarkably at peace with this decision, and I am willing to take this leap of faith which every married woman has taken. Where this love will lead me I cannot say, I am not God, but, I have hope, faith and believe that it will lead me to a good place. Every one of us in this life deserves a chance to be happy. I am taking my own chance.
This is the only statement I am making on this, any other one after this is not from me. I can’t help what people say or write, but please be careful about what you listen to or read and believe. For those who wish me the best, I wish the very best, for those who don’t, I leave you to God who sees and knows all things. Thanks for reading.”
What can we say? We wish her the best in her new life.

Did Paul Walker Kill Himself?

Abraham - March 26, 2014

New reports are saying that Porsche car had no fault like ‘they’ said.

Late Paul Walker's death was as a result ofover speeding and not mechanical problems like was formerly reported. The driver of the Porche car, Roger Rodas was driving between 80 and 93 Miles Per Hour when he lost control and crashed, according to TMZ.

According to a source at the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department - the agency that conducted the mechanics analysis - the crash was NOT as a result of mechanical failure.Speed was the trigger for the fatal accident.

Results from the ongoing investigation note that the tires of the car were the originals and were 9 years old. Investigators claim the tires had hardened, meaning it lost traction on the road which allegedly caused the crash. (Read the Report)

However, the car makers, Porshe had issued a memo to its dealers 9 years ago warning them the 2004 Porsche Carrera GT could be dangerous to an untrained driver. The memo said the road surfaces need to be smooth, like a race track.  The car is so sensitive, plus "This vehicle cannot drive over a Foster beer can that is lying on its side.”

During the investigation, German Porsche mechanics flew to L.A. to examine the car .... analyzing the Carrera GT's brakes, engine, body and a tire that wasn't destroyed in the fire.
Paul Walker and friend Roger Rodas died on Nov. 30 from a combination of harsh impact and fire burns.

Fast forward to her April 2014 Jalouse Magazine cover the fresh faced teen was described as the next Kate Moss! which was received with a lot of mixed feelings, with a lot of reactions from people about how age innapropriate it is for a 13 year old to be on the cover of women fashion magazines!

Some of her past editorial saw the young girl in heavy make-up and suggestive poses people say are way inappropriate. Whats your take on this, is it crossing the line/not age appropriate? Take a look at some of her editorial pictures and be the judge.

Dencia Ask Oprah Winfrey For Money Before Getting On Her Show

Abraham - March 25, 2014

Dencia

Dencia remains in the news, and for all the wrong reasons.

The Cameroonian pop singer, who has come under fierce backlash for her Whitenicious skin cream, recently revealed she wasn’t going to honor Oprah Winfrey’s interview request until she was paid.

Oprah Winfrey had invited Dencia for an interview as part of a documentary titled Light Girls, but Dencia had demanded payment for an appearance.

Dencia said, “I feel like they want to take advantage of Whitenicious. They need the show, they need me but you know what, if the pay is good, I’ll do it…The questions they want to ask me they can ask Rihanna, Beyonce and Nicki Minaj because they have all lightened their skin. But since they are bigger, you can’t ask them and you want to ask me so, pay me.”

It seems Dencia’s brain is getting whitened.

In the most awkward turn of events did singer Alicia Keys, her famous producer husbandSwizz Beatz and then … his troublesome ex-wife Mashonda were spotted having a good time on vacation at St. Barts this weekend.

The threesome seemed rather bizarre given the fact that Beatz' ex-wife Mashonda is the same woman who once publicly accused Alicia of breaking apart her marriage. So what are they doing together – pretending to be happy?

Reports say both women brought their kids – fathered by Beatz – along for the holiday to spend time with their daddy.

It is rather weird that nearly 5 years ago, Mashonda wrote a nasty open letter to Alicia in the wake of her divorce from Swizz, blaming the Girl On Fire singer for taking part in the affair that destroyed her marriage and family. From the letter, many had though both women would be enemies for life, but NO!

Guys, do you think Alicia and Mashonda have really gone past that incident?

What’s mark Zukerberg UpTo:(Robots)Invest in Artificial Intelligence Startup

Abraham - March 22, 2014

1395435692-robots-coming-zuckerberg-kutcher-invest-artificcial-intelligence-startup

Mark Zuckerberg already knows a lot about you, your mom, your dad, your friends, what your new baby looks like, where you went on vacation and what you wore to that party last weekend. Now, he wants to get inside your brain.

The Facebook founder, along with Hollywood actor-investor Ashton Kutcher, recently participated in a $40 million investment round for San Francisco-based artificial intelligence startup Vicarious.

This is not the first time that Zuckerberg and Kutcher have backed the same company. This past October, they participated in a $4 million seed round for Panorama Education, a Cambridge, Mass.-based education technology company.

Several news reports indicate that Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla motors, was also a lead investor in the $40 million round. Vicarious co-founder Scott Phoenix told Entrepreneur.com that he had no comment on whether Musk was involved. 

Venture capital firm Formation8 also participated, Phoenix said.

Vicarious is relatively vague about what it does – probably because its team of science masterminds are working on things we mere mortals would hardly understand. “We are building software that thinks and learns like a human,” the company's homepage says.  Peter Thiel, a heavyweight Silicon Valley investor, has said, "Vicarious is bringing us all closer to a future where computers perceive, imagine, and reason just like humans." 

One thing that Vicarious’ technology has been proven to accomplish is getting past a CAPTCHA test. An example of a CAPTCHA test is a program that requires a web user to type in letters that are obscured and distorted, making them, in theory, undetectable by a computer bot. CAPTCHA tests are typically considered flawed if an algorithm can get past the wall 1 percent of the time. Vicarious’ technology has been able to get by CAPTCHAs used by Google, Yahoo and PayPal 90 percent of the time. And it’s doing it with innovative technological “thinking.”

"Recent AI (artificial intelligence) systems like IBM’s Watson and deep neural networks rely on brute force: connecting massive computing power to massive datasets. This is the first time this distinctively human act of perception has been achieved, and it uses relatively minuscule amounts of data and computing power,” said Phoenix of the company’s CAPTCHA feat.

Down the line, the technology that Vicarious develops will be used in industries including robotics, clean energy and medicine, Phoenix told Entrepreneur.com.

This most recent round of funding is Vicarious’ third. In 2012, the San Francisco-based software company received $20 million in two rounds from top tier venture capital firms, including Founders Fund.

Interest in artificial intelligence technology has recently been heating up across Silicon Valley. Earlier this year, Google paid $400 million for artificial-intelligence startup DeepMind. Late last year, it bought Boston Dynamics, a company making rugged robots for the U.S. military and humanoid robots for work in hazardous environments.

While Zuckerberg is out investing in external artificial intelligence companies, his internal Facebook team is investing heavily in the space. The latest face-recognition software released from Facebook’s in house artificial intelligence group is almost as capable of recognizing people’s faces as a human being.

Socialite murder: She was an extremely nice and charitable person

Abraham - March 22, 2014
20140320_nancy-gan_nancy-gan
 
Madam Nancy Gan was found dead in her swimming pool yesterday morning. The socialite was known for her porcelain art.
Just two weeks ago, porcelain artist Nancy Gan, 69, texted her friend.
"Guess what happened to me?" she wrote. "I had a fall. It could have been worse. I really thank my lucky stars (it wasn't)."
Her injury - a hairline fracture of the wrist - meant she had to wear an arm sling.
Worried, the friend who wanted to be known only as Ms Yan, called Madam Gan immediately.
"She told me she was very lucky. She had dislocated her wrist but was grateful the injury wasn't that bad," Ms Yan recalled. "That's how Nancy is, always so unassuming and down-to-earth."
But last Wednesday, something worse happened.
Madam Gan, a widow, was found dead in the swimming pool of her Bukit Timah bungalow. She is believed to have died from head injuries.
The police have arrested a 23-year-old Indonesian maid for murder. She was arrested in the house along Victoria Park Road. The New Paper understands that a member of the public had alerted the police on Wednesday morning.
Police have classified the case as murder. The maid was charged last Thursday.
Passers-by would have been able to catch glimpses of the octagon-shaped pool, which is beside the main building, through the fence.
Ms Yan called TNP after she heard about what happened to Madam Gan. They have known each other for five years after meeting at a high-society event.

Miley added a water sports element to her concert last night, taking giant gulps of water in her mouth and spitting it back out on the heads and bodies of all over the audience. 
She pulled the stunt several times and even more shocking is the fact that the audience seemed to like it. They just kept screaming excitedly at the - nasty - gesture.
If Katy Perry was worried about a quick kiss, imagine what would have happened if Miley pulled this on her. 
Wait, what do you guys think of this act: Cool or Nasty?

Want to Avoid People? There's An App for That.

Abraham - March 22, 2014

Want to Avoid People? There's An App for That.

Call it the “anti-social network.”

In the day of oversharing online, an app called Cloak has come along to help avoid specific people. But really, you can also use the app to keep tabs your employees and your competitors.

Created by Chris Baker and Brian Moore, both advertising professionals, Cloak pulls data from Foursquare and Instagram and lets users know when a person of interest is nearby, anywhere from two miles to one block away. Individuals will show up on the Cloak map in bubbles, which fade away after two hours, and disappear completely after four.

While the app has obvious personal uses (i.e. – avoiding that awkward run-in with your ex), businesses can also use it to remind customers that they exist. For example, if a bar posts a photo or check-in to their own location, it will pop up on a follower's Cloak map.

As far as privacy concerns go, Baker doesn’t anticipate any trouble since Cloak only extracts information from what users are already put out there (Instagram users have to geo-tag their photos). Cloak just makes it easier to see where people are at any given time. If you've blocked a user on Instagram or vice versa, that person's information will not show up on the map.

As more networks add location data, Cloak plans to expand the social networks whose location data it uses. Baker says that Twitter location data is vague, but it hasn’t been ruled out. Future possibilities include Snapchat and Tinder.

Cloak's founders say they knew the app would be a hit when it launched earlier this month. Sure enough, it got a shoutout on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday and downloads spiked. As of Friday afternoon, Cloak ranks fourteenth in free social networking apps in the Apple store.

"It worked out exactly as I had planned," Baker said.

Baker has made a career out of launching viral projects. In 2012, he created Unbaby.me which was a browser plugin that replaced baby pictures on Facebook with pictures of cats. The plugin has since been renamed Rather, and lets you replace almost any annoying photo or post in your feed with something else of your choosing.

WORKING IN LAGOS: MALE BOSSES AND THEIR UNENDING REQUESTS FOR SEX

Abraham - March 21, 2014

Obinna is a serial womanizer; every lady that joined the company after he became Senior Account manager has one story or the other to tell about him. You have to be either ugly or unattractive for you not to get the attention of Obinna.

Obinna is a very smart and intelligent young man; the type every employer is proud to have in their fold. He understood marketing very well and has enjoyed more than five years of consistent results. He is one of the reasons the Marketing and Activation Company he works for has become clients’ first choice. He works on all the accounts the company services. His brilliance shines through in all that he does.

It wasn’t a tough call when management decided that Obinna has to be involved in all recruitment exercises of the company.  Obinna is the last person candidates will see in the recruitment process. Whatever choices he made were acceptable by Management. That is how powerful Obinna is. You only needed to hang around the company just for a couple of hours to know how powerful Obinna is at LMN & O Marketing and Activation.

In spite of his position, Obinna easily relates with the rest of the workforce. Once the candidates scale through his recruitment drills and are employed, Obinna takes it upon himself to provide the necessary support that will facilitate their integration into the system.

All these things put together became Obinna’s powerful weapon at LMN & O Marketing and Activation.

He likes women, he smirks at the mere sight of a lady; a feature everybody has come to know him with.

Obinna does not spare anybody. He sleeps with both the single ladies and the married women. Some of these women sleep with him because they believe that by so doing, they are protecting their interests in the company.

Obinna is not alone in this venture. I hear the culture is a wildfire spreading the length and breadth of Corporate Lagos. Bosses in workplaces are ravaging the young ladies in the name of protecting their interests. Once a guy is promoted to a certain position, he sees all the ladies below him as preys.

I remembered this Obinna story after Sonia told us how she had to quit paid employment because of the constant harassment she got the different companies she worked for. You that feeling when a man who may not be able to summon the courage to talk to you at any other place aside work, is constantly suggesting sex to you. The last straw that broke the camel’s back was the last place she worked. The Managing Director, her immediate boss and some of her colleagues were on her neck at the same time.

The MD kept mounting pressure on her to sleep with him even when he was fully aware she is married. Sonia threw in the towel when the man moved her to work directly with him . He said he wanted her to always be closer to him at all times.  She resigned and ran away.

The most annoying ones are the guys at the Human Resources Department of most firms. They take advantage of the ladies that come to their department to regularize their papers or for any reason whatsoever.

Some bosses have even developed knack for married women and married women alone. That is the level they are in now. And surprisingly, it is no longer a case of intimidation, some married women willingly submit to their bosses. They see it as a way of protecting their jobs and the financial well-being of their families.

Obinna and LMN & O Marketing and Activation are not real names.

We are waiting for your story.

HAPPINESS FOR ALL: TEN WAYS TO BE HAPPY IN NIGERIA

Abraham - March 21, 2014

1. Avoid watching, listening or reading News headlines in the morning. Don’t worry you won’t miss much.

2. Avoid politics especially if the activities of the people in Government make you shout “Oh my God, what’s wrong with these people?!”  Don’t worry, when politics start working again in Nigeria, your neighbour will inform you.

3. If you still ride in public buses especially the yellow buses popularly referred to as Danfo buses in Lagos; you need to do the following while commuting.

a. See the driver and the conductor as actors. If they are very annoying assign them with the names of those annoying Nollywood actors. If they are funny, do the same.

b. See fellow passengers like people in the cinema with you. However, if their activities are irritating to you, see them as extras in the movie you are watching.

c. Stop cursing while commuting, it has never changed anybody. See Nigeria roads as one huge theatre.  Have fun at the various characters you come across.

d. If you are driving in your own car and see other road users do those things that split your hairs; be calm and hold your peace. If you must talk, shout “actor” at the road user.

4. Stop going to check your account every now and then, especially if your account is in the red. That act has a way of giving one special kind of migraine. Avoid it.

5. Frequent your bank especially if your account is telling you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.  Ask the customer service person to write your account balance out on a piece of paper.  Have fun watching him/her struggle to fit in the zeros into the paper or try to round off the figure to its nearest figure.

6. Come down from your high horse. Watch loads and loads of Nollywood movies.  I’m not referring to those movies produced by some of these producers who are working hard to take over from Tyler Perry. I’m referring to those movies produced by the Upper Iweka and Alaba moneybags.

7. Take out time to clear all the I.O.Us you have in various parts of the city. The feeling that comes with clearing debt is priceless.  Try it.

8. Listen to loads of music every day. Not the type of music that want only your waist. Or if that is your kind of music, then have fun.

9. Don’t take the threats of your landlord to heart. He’s only doing his job.

10.  Don’t date your boss, sorry, let me use the appropriate word. Don’t sleep with your boss in the name of job security. You give away  the same job you want to secure by doing that. And ultimately your happiness.
