LOL the Naija Boyz are hilarious. Check out their version of Miley Cyrus’s hit “Wrecking Ball.” African parents will indeed “wreck you” if you attempt to do some of the things young people are out there doing these days.  And the tag #chopigbati ?  Too funny.

I think most of us had the same sort of reaction when we saw Nigerian “Senate Proposes 7-Year Jail Term for Social Media Critics,” – what?! You want to jail people for speaking their mind?! But apparently, as Muvi Mudiaga explains, the bill doesn’t propose blanket jail terms for all – there are conditions and alternatives. Read the opinion piece on the click.

Folks have been coming for some of the ladies that walked the Channel O Awards red carpet in South Africa recently. Amongst the ladies getting the most comments are Ghana’s Debora Vanessa, for her “nearly nekkid” ensamble.  What do you think? Is her look Fly or Faux?

D’banj and the Koko Krew (lol made that up, not their official name o!) raised a few glasses in the official music video for Hennessy Artistry 2013.  Vector, Sheyi Shay, Phyno, Sean Tizzle, and others also appeared as supporting cast. Sheyi Shay’s facial expression at 1.40-1.41, tho? Get it girl! Watch the video after the click.

Brandy Norwood was in the Ivory Coast last week performing, and posted a few pictures of the trip on her Instagram. And when some of us Africans saw what she labeled as “beauty” or has having “depth” there were a few choice words laid out for Moesha.  Check the reactions after the click.

Actor Jim Iyke was in Freetown recently filming for the new season of his reality show Jim Iyke: Unscripted, when he was engulfed by the masses! Jim kept it cool though, with Big Man and Big Man Jr to his right and left to protect him.  More pics on the click.

A new UN report claims that payments were made to Liberian mercenaries and Ivory Coast militia commanders to head off attacks from the followers of former Ivorian leader, Laurent Gbagbo, aimed at destabilizing the government of current president, Alassane Ouattara.

Enjoyed watching this sit-down interview Wale did with TraceUrban during his recent visit to Naija. He talked about growing up eating eba and rice, wearing native, and not learning Yoruba because he almost never saw his parents, they worked so much. He was super down to earth. Twas good stuff. Check the video on the click.

Following up uncermonious departure of former iROKING CEO, Michael Ugwu, founder and original CEO Jason Njoku has announced that he will be taking on the leadership role in the interim.  Feels very Apple-esque, no? Founding CEO returning to turn around company. Looking forward to positive things from iROKING with Jason back in the drivers seat.

“It’s no more Tiwa Savage o, it’s Tiwa Tope Balogun!” lol that’s what Tiwa’s Manager turned Hubby Tee Billz noted during the reception of his tradtional wedding to superstar songstress. Check out snippets from the couple’s special day on the click.
