| Sowore: Buhari sends message to sponsors of #RevolutionNow As He Breaks Silence Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:16 PM PDT  President Muhammadu Buhari | Global Coalition for Security and Democracy in Nigeria, who are the sponsors of "Revolution Now" protest for Monday, 5th August, 2019, had been urged by President Muhammadu Buhari to identify themselves and lead the campaign or lose the right to call themselves leaders.According to the Daily Post, this reaction is coming after Omoyele Sowore, the convener of #RevolutionNow Protests, was picked up at his apartment in the early hours of Saturday.Reacting, Buhari in a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday by Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President (Media & Publicity), called on all those who seek to use and hide behind everyday citizens to attain power through undemocratic and violent means, which has been alluded, to come out clearly and be identified.Buhari, said they should lead their march in person, stressing that only then will they begin to have the right to call themselves leaders before the people of Nigeria.The statement reads, "the President and his administration respect and uphold the right of every Nigerian to peaceful protest and civil campaign – whether to raise awareness on issues, and even oppose the government, noting that it is the inalienable right of all citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to do so."There is, however, a difference between peaceful call to protest and incitement for a revolution. "The organisation championing this planned action is not fronted by any serious public faces. We call on the sponsors and organisers to have the decency to come forward and make their identity known – out of respect to all Nigerians – so that Nigerians can be fully aware in whose name this "revolution" is being proposed and who the beneficiaries may be. "Less than six months ago, Nigeria held simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections. Both contests were won resoundingly by President Muhammadu Buhari and his All-Progressives Congress party. The campaign was observed, and results were confirmed by international election monitoring groups and observers. The result was even contested by the losing presidential candidate and his party in Court. "The ballot box is the only constitutional means of changing government and a president in Nigeria. The days of coups and revolutions are over. "Those making the "revolution'' call hide behind the veil of social media modernity. But without revealing the identity of their sponsors this shadowy campaign is no better, and no more democratic, than the days of old."  | |

| Moyo Lawal Reveals The Foolish Things She Has Done For Love Posted: 04 Aug 2019 07:00 AM PDT
Recalling her heartbreak experience and the foolish things she has done for love, the light-skinned thespian said: "I have done too many foolish things for love. The annoying thing is that I would be the one to run away from the relationship. At a time, I cried for like a month, didn't eat and refused to date anyone for two years. Gosh, I wasted so much time on healing. God forbid, if I have a divorce, I won't date again for five years."  She continued: "The things I couldn't tolerate broke my heart and spirit. It literally killed me but it fixed my vision. I hope that someday, that special someone that I can submit to, someone that I cannot live without would find me and conquer my fears. For now, I am very happy just doing me and concentrating on me for the very first time in my life."  | ||

| Posted: 04 Aug 2019 06:00 AM PDT  After getting used to a winning streak, the Pepper Dem Gang finally suffered a major upset with the loss of the Wager Task. The shocking news was announced to the Housemates by Frodd as he read Biggie's scroll to the House. The Housemates have lost their Wager. It might be hunger games next week.#BBNaijahttps://t.co/Fs747giz42 pic.twitter.com/OepF4LPXry That was when it became imperative for the old guys to brief the new ones on what would happen despite having a full house. It was a moment of disbelief for the Housemates as they heard the outcome of the Wager Task. The scroll which started with the good news of Bet9ja Coins reward for some of the Pepper Dem Gang soon went south. What they expected would be a climactic end soon turned sour as the rest of the content of the scroll was read. In disbelief, Khafi and Tacha went up to Frodd to read the news themselves.  After the loss of the Wager Task was read, Frodd called for a meeting, but it seemed a faction led by Ike had had enough of the meetings."We just finished a meeting, I am not coming," Ike said. Clearly, not everyone is pleased with Frodd's reign as HoH. Elozonam, one of the new housemates, was then given a full brief on the situation of the House after a Wager Task gets lost. Ike and Omashola were on hand to paint him the picture and they didn't paint a pretty one. Elozonam was worried why a House filled with so much foodstuffs would have to worry about feeding in the coming week. "People will soon start hiding foodstuff," Omashola said as he explained the consequences on food ration now that the Wager was lost.  | ||

Without the KINGS Dbanj and Don Jazzy there will be no Afrobeats blessings to you guys'.  | ||

| Simi – ‘Marriage does not elevate the value of a woman’ Posted: 04 Aug 2019 03:30 AM PDT  Nigerian singer, Simi who married her colleague, Adekunle Gold in private ceremony in Lagos in 2018, has condemned the notion that a woman should be respected just because she is married. The singer in a few tweets on Saturday berated those who treat married woman whether they are right or wrong in special way just because she is married. According to her, a woman's worth should not be based on her marital status but on "the good that you do and the value you add." She tweeted;  Marriage does not elevate the value of a woman. Every woman, regardless of status, must be treated respectfully. Some married women also need to erase this idea that they're more special. You're really not sis. Your special is in the good that you do and the value you add." In This Story: #Simi #Marriage #elevate #value #woman Sharing is caring. Share this story  | ||

She stated that whenever he noticed that, he always put her in check and brought her back to her senses by reminding her she was in the BBNaija house for a purpose and she should focus more on the game.  She further revealed that a lot of the housemates had gotten too comfortable and had become laid back but as soon as Biggie brought in new housemates, they all woke up from their slumber and sat up immediately. She said it was like someone had snapped them back to reality and they all realized they needed to put in more efforts as the game was becoming more competitive with the arrival of new housemates.  | ||
| Steve and Robin's Original 'Stranger Things 3' End Posted: 04 Aug 2019 02:30 AM PDT  Warning: If you somehow haven't watched Stranger Things 3 yet, stop reading now. This story will contain major spoilers for the third season of Netflix's Sci-Fi/Horror hit. Fans obviously remember how great Steve and Robin were in Stranger Things 3 However, their story was originally going to go in a very different direction. Maya Hawke explained in interviews with The Wall Street Journal and Variety. As anyone who's watched Stranger Things 3 would probably agree, the Scoops Ahoy! ice cream-slinging dream team of Steve ( Joe Keery ) and Robin ( Maya Hawke ) were one of the best things about the season. Not only do they have clear on-screen chemistry , but, as it turns out, Robin's big twistthat she not only doesn't like like Steve, but that she's in fact attracted to womenwasn't the original plan. The original plan, Hawke told The Wall Street Journal , was for Steve and Robin to end up together. "Throughout filming, we started to feel like she and [Steve] shouldnt get together, and that shes gay," Hawke said. "Even when I go back and watch earlier episodes, it just seems like the most obvious decision ever." That 'obvious decision,' as she put it, paid off in a big way. Sure, neither Steve nor Robin get their romantic fairy tale ending by the end of the season, but Robin and Steve's bathroom revelation made for arguably the best moment of the season. It established Robin as one of the more human and complete LGBTQ+ characters on TV, and it served to further illustrate just how much Steve has evolved as both a person and a character through the seasons; once a jerk, he now barely twitches when a new friend confides something so deeply personal and vulnerable. Hawke also told Variety in an interview that the decision on Robin's sexuality wasn't even set in stone until they were more than halfway through filming Season 3. "The Duffer brothers and I, and Shawn Levy, had a lot of conversations throughout shooting, and it wasnt really until we were shooting episode four and five, I think, that we made the final decision," she said. "It was kind of a collaborative conversation, and Im really, really happy with the way that it went." As much as we would've loved to see Robin and Steve get together in Season 3, we have to agree with Hawke on the direction their relationship eventually ended up taking. What would've been a nice yet somewhat clichd moment in the series instead had a twist that not only propped up the characters, but also helped the show itself to step out of its '80s time period and into our modern 2019 landscape.  | ||
| The Best Warmup You're Not Doing Posted: 04 Aug 2019 02:00 AM PDT  If theres one thing guys skip in the gym more often than leg day, its their warmup. Most people just start lifting weights as soon as they walk in. Fewer, smarter dudes begin by walking on a treadmill or pedaling on an exercise bike for a few minutes to get a sweat going. Both activities will get your core temperature up, but neither really prepares you to perform the exercises in your workout with proficiency. Don Saladino , creator of the Mens Health Superhero Shred program, offers a better way to warm up: using jumps, throws, and carry exercises to awaken the body and train it athletically. Want to check out this warmup, and all of Saladino's other superhero-sculpting routines? You'll need Superhero Shred . You can order the physical version of the program, or get it as part of our new All Out Studio streaming video on demand platform , available on iOS and Android . The Jump-Throw-Carry Warmup Warming up on a treadmill doesnt prepare the body to lift, move fast, or get into a deep squat or any other position you might find yourself in during your workout, says Saladino. Jumping, throwing a medicine ball, and carrying a weight not only get your body warm and moving in and out of positions that youll use when you train, they make you a better athlete, help to prevent injury, and, he argues, theyre a lot more fun to do. Saladino says you can do the jump, throw, and carry in any order, but do all three at the beginning of your workout, after youve done some mobility exercises to loosen up a bit (for example, hip circles, shoulder swings, etc.). Do 2 to 3 rounds of each exercise. Jump Jumping trains you to be explosive, and to absorb and redirect force. It has tremendous carryover to any sports where running or changing direction are involved. Any kind of jump will work, but choose one that you know you can perform safely. A simple box jump is a good place to start if you havent jumped since you were a kid (jump up onto a box thats about the height of your foot when you raise your knee in front of you to hip level; step down to get off the box). You can also jump forward, or side to side, as in a skater hop. How To Do The Skater Hop Stand on your right foot and jump to your left side, landing on your left foot. Reach your left arm out as you land to help you steady yourself. Allow your leg to absorb the landing, and then jump back to the right. Each landing counts as one rep. Perform 5 to 10 reps. Throw Throwing a medicine ball works like jumping but for the upper body, helping you to apply more force to any ball-throwing you may do, as well as punching a heavy bag and pressing a barbell. It also helps to increase alertness and focus. A lot of us get to the gym feeling tired, says Saladino. We need to wake up the body, and jumps and throws will do that. You can throw a ball into the ceiling or a wall, outside for distance, or into the floor. To avoid getting thrown out of your gym for causing damage, Saladino recommends the rainbow slam. How To Do The Rainbow Slam Hold a light medicine ball (10 to 15 pounds is fine) with both hands and stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Reach the ball overhead as you pivot off your right foot and twist your hips and torso to the left. Slam the ball into the floor, and catch it on the rebound. Repeat on the opposite side. Perform 5 to 10 reps on each side. Carry I think carries might be the most underrated kind of exercise , says Saladino. They can develop strength, particularly in the grip, as well as endurance, and burn body fat. The key is to think of them as a plank you perform while walking. That means keeping your joints stacked in perfect alignment and your core bracing hard. (In other words, dont carry a weight as casually as you do your briefcase or gym bag.) You can carry dumbbells or kettlebells at your sides, at shoulder level, or overhead, and use one or both arms. To help correct muscle imbalances and add an extra core hit, Saladino likes the suitcase carry. How To Do The Suitcase Carry Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell in one hand and walk. The speed is up to yougoing slow will be a greater challenge to your stability and endurance, while going fast will allow you to use a heavier weight and work more strength. Keep your chin retracted so your head is lined up with your spine. Draw your shoulders back and down (think: proud chest), and avoid leaning to either side. Walk for 30 seconds.  | ||
| Lady Gaga Just Showed Off Her Toned Butt On Instagram—And It's Everything Posted: 04 Aug 2019 01:30 AM PDT
Lady Gaga recently showed off her super-toned butt while lying in bed in an Instagram Stories post, and her derrire looks amazing.  Tbh, it's probably all the SoulCycle. The pop star is reportedly a SoulCycle devotee , and once brought two SoulCycle bikes on one of her tours with her. (Respect, Gaga.) Plus, Gaga's trainer is celebrity fitness guru Harley Pasternak, who also trains the likes of Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Kanye West, and Gwyneth Paltrow. Pasternak, who has worked with the A Star is Born actress on and off for about a decade, told Glamour in 2012 that she prefers a 25-minute circuit workout three days a week and a 30-minute cardio workout two days a week. "Gaga doesn't love to work out, but she likes how efficient this method is," he explained. "Your heart rate stays up, so you burn more calories in less time." That said, the singer does get quite the cardio workout every night, while performing . She's also a fan of yoga and the great outdoors. "She does yoga whenever she can," a source told Us Weekly , "not just for the physical element but for the mental side as well." The source added that Gaga "loves being outside, at the beach or on a bike ride" and "when shes getting fresh air... shes always happiest." Watch this to learn why Gaga also "seems happier" amidst rumors that she's dating a new guy: When she goes full-on yogi, Gaga works with a private yoga instructor, Tricia Donegan, whom she met while a New York University student taking classes at the teacher's Bikram yoga studio on Allen Street, according to T , the New York Times Style magazine. And though her diet changes day to day, Gaga eats mostly "lean meats and a lot of veggies," the source also told Us Weekly. "But she is not afraid to indulge. She will never deprive herself. If she wants something, she eats it. And she has to have her coffee every day." (I hear that, Gaga!)  | ||
| Iggy Azalea Eats Tarantulas Like an Aussie Boss Posted: 04 Aug 2019 01:00 AM PDT  Rap star Iggy Azalea is the latest to be featured on Disgustingly Healthy. The "Fancy" rapper faces a difficult questionsleak the release date of her boyfriend, Playboi Carti's, new album, or eat termites? Find out below what choice she ends up making. I literally wouldnt care if you asked to see my butthole," Iggy Azalea says. "I would do it before I would eat this. The "Fancy" rapper is only halfway through Mens Health's culinary challenge, aptly named Disgustingly Healthy. Or, as Iggy half-jokingly complains: This isnt 'Disgustingly Healthy'! This is disgustingly disgusting! Iggy's challenge today is to taste several healthy Australian-themed dishes, or be forced to answer probably whats going to be a terrible question. Terrible questions stand in place for not-terrible sources of protein that are, well, highly unappetizing. Now, before you comment on this story with a who?? meme (c'mon, were sure youve heard her music), lets recap Iggy Azalea. All you need to know about Iggy for the purpose of this vid is that Iggy raps, Iggy is famous, and Iggy is from Australia. You might also want to know that Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks ( another definite character !) have a historically long and confusing beef that clearly has to do with the two feuding over the order of their names. You should also know that Iggys boyfriend Playboi Carti has an upcoming album Whole Lotta Red, which internet rumor says will never ever drop, even though its probably done? We think. We dont know whats going on with Whole Lotta Red. Anyway, back to Iggy eating disgustingly disgusting food. First up: Emu jerky, a relatively tame treat. But because Iggy didnt want to eat outback delicacies, she was forced to turn over the first question: can you rank Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and Miley Cyrus twerking abilities? Yes, Iggy can. Well Miley is the skinniest, so maybe that means shes the best twerker, because shes lost the most weight doing it. Next! We werent entirely sure how that followed, but okay. Onto the next dish! Which was python jerky. Im not eating a snake, Iggy said. She turned over the question: why did her album take so long? Because Im a procrastinator. Im a Gemini. I can never make a decision about anything. I say things, and I take them back. Its my personality. Next up was a kangaroo burger. Iggy was down for kangaroo. And she ate it.It just tastes like red meat. Ill pack this to go. Which brings us to the corned mutton, which smells like wet dog doo, and to which Iggy says shed rather show us her butthole. So she turns over the question, forcing her to rank her ex-boyfriends' benching abilities. Thankfully, Iggy has an escape: Half of these people arent even my ex. Ive never dated any of these guys, Iggy says. Well played. Onto the Vegemite toast with tarantulas. Vegemite is fine, says Iggy. She turns over the question, which is not fine: Would you rather write a song with Azealia Banks or go on a date with Nick Young (Iggys real ex) at Outback? Suddenly this toast isnt looking so bad. Iggy flicks off some legs, leaving the thorax. This looks like its just a raisin. Its just a raisin! Iggy rebel yells before downing the toast and spider. Mm, it has this metallic aftertaste. Its like I ate a Vegemite sandwich and then licked a metal pole. Iggys final challenge: Termite fairy bread. I love fairy bread. I havent had it in a long time. But it looks like this fairy bread has something evil on it, Iggy notices. That something evil is termites. Question: When is Whole Lotta Red dropping? Iggy: I cant tell you that. Pauses. What do termites do? Eat wood? .  |
