Okagbare who was missing during the 2015  All-Nigeria Championships in Warri left no one in doubt that she was back to wrestle away her title from last year’s winner Gloria Asumnu when she effortlessly won her semi final race with a time of 11.22secs.

Thursday’s feat by Okagbare is her season's best and the Queen of the tracks told journalists after her victory that she will not rest on her oars as she expects tougher contest in Rio.

“I am focused on myself, I am not thinking of what others are doing,” Okagbare stated

Peace Ukoh came second with 11.37sec, while Gloria Asumnu finished third with 11.38secs in the women’s 100m race.

Aside Okagbare, another headline performance on the opening day of the Nigeria Olympic trials came from Antwon Hicks who set a new national record (subject to ratification by the AFN) in the 110m Men's Hurdles event.

Hicks' winning time of 13.27 secs supersedes the previous record in the 110m hurdles owned by Williams Erese who set a time 13.42secs in the United States in 2003.

The winning time has also qualified the former American runner for the Rio Olympics where he will be donning the colours of Nigeria in Brazil.

Rumours has been surfacing for some while now that Wizkid and his “International” manager, Jada P, are in a relationship but the two of them have never come forward to either confirm or deny. She has been with him while he tours/visits several places mostly London, New York and Amsterdam.

Their fans have however been able to follow their working relationship thanks to social media and there is no doubt that the two of them have amazing chemistry.

Read Below was her birthday Message
On my birthday I want to share my thankfulness for life with all the sickle cell warriors and their carers out there. When I was first diagnosed with the disease at 6 months old, my parent were confused not knowing what the future will hold. They were advised that I might not live past 21 but I guess, Almighty God is the only deciding factor. With love, happiness and peace in ones life anything is possible. I toast my glass to you all. I feel truly blessed.

I also wish my fellow brothers and sisters, joy, happiness, peace and prosperity on this blessed occasion of Eid!

Eid Mubarak!

Former International Footballer Kanu Nwankwo has a heart of gold. The retired Nigerian footballer was pictured giving back through his foundation. So nice of him.

We all know that the American reality television personality made her name by THAT sex tape with Ray J but now dignitary in the porn world are trying to convince her to make another one. But now, not with Ray again – this time with third hubby Kanye West!

And guess how much porn would would be willing to pay for getting a glimpse of Kanye and Kim bumping uglies?!


£20 MILLION, according to porn baron Steven Hirsch!

Speaking with RadarOnline, The Vivid Entertainment chief – who distributed Kim’s previous sex-tape in 2007- has said he would happily splash out a huge sum of cash for a new raunchy vid featuring Kim, 35, and Kanye, 39! He further said: ‘A Kim/Kanye tape would be worth $25 million (£20 million), at bare minimum.’

But Steven hasn’t just got his eye on Kim, he also said he would pour out the big bucks for Kim’s sisters getting on camera too.

Apparently, Steven said footage featuring any of Kim’s sisters, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian or Kylie and Kendall Jenner, would also lead to huge profits.

He explained: ‘Instant bestsellers due to the huge interest in their lives. How much we would pay depends on what they would be willing to do in the movie and several other factors.’

Steven revealed Kim’s sex-tape, which helped shoot her to fame, is still making money and calls it one of the best celebrity sex-tapes of all time.

L-R: Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu,  Ethiopian PM Hailemariam Dessalegn speak during a joint press conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia,

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his heavily guarded African tour this week on Thursday denied reports of an attempt on his life in Kenya , saying he knew "nothing" of it.

Netanyahu said he was learning about the reports of an assassination attempt for the first time during a press conference with Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn in Addis Ababa.

He made the remarks in regards to a reporter's question following an anonymously sourced report in the Kuwaiti newspaper al-Jarida.
"The answer is we know nothing about it because there is nothing in it," Netanyahu said.

"An attempted assassination can't be secret. It has to be something visible, and to my knowledge there was absolutely nothing of the sort," Kenya's Interior Ministry spokesman Mwenda Njoka told The Associated Press.

"I'm not aware, and there was no such thing at all. Those are lies," Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet said.

The Israeli prime minister is protected by heavy security in Israel and abroad, given high threats against Israeli targets around the world. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated by a Jewish extremist in Tel Aviv in 1995.

Netanyahu's four-nation Africa visit is the first to sub-Saharan Africa by a sitting Israeli prime minister in nearly three decades. He has visited Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda while pursuing closer security and other ties with African nations, which cut or limited their relationships with Israel in the 1970s under pressure from Arab countries. African states were also opposed to Israel's close ties to South Africa's apartheid government.
