Comprising twin brothers, Peter and Paul Okoye, P-Square is believed by many to be the richest Nigerian musicians (there’s no strong evidence to support this, though). The duo charge between 8-15 million Naira per show, and they’re signed up as ambassadors for strong Nigerian brands such as Globacom.
P-Square signed recording deals with Akon’s Konvict Music in December 2011 and Universal Music in May 2012. The Square Villa in Ikeja, owned by P-Square is said to be worth $3 million (around N500 million).

Does Richard III's DNA question the Queen's right to the throne?

#askaroundnow
He is one of the nation’s most notorious monarchs and Richard III is still creating controversy more than 500 years after his death.
Genetic analysis of a battle-scarred skeleton - discovered under a council car park in Leicester three years ago - has confirmed that it did indeed belong to the last Plantagenet king.
But it may have also exposed skeletons in the closet of the British aristocracy - undermining the Tudor dynasty - and could even raise a question mark over the current Queen’s royal heritage. 

Researchers considered genetic material from two female-line descendants of Richard's sister Anne of York - a woman named Wendy Duldig and a man named Michael Ibsen (both pictured)
Down the line: An international team of researchers, led by Leicester University, pieced together sections Richard III’s family tree, right down to relatives who are alive today (pictured)

DNA analysis has revealed a break in the male line of Richard’s family tree. It means one of Richard III’s male relatives was cuckolded – leading to his wife to give birth to another man’s child.
Researchers also considered genetic material from two female-line descendants of Richard's sister Anne of York - a man named Michael Ibsen and a woman, Wendy Duldig.

See the original picture that inspired Kim Kardashian’s naked Paper Magazine cover

#askaroundnow
Kim Kardashian Jean Paul Goude 1stdibs
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
For their winter issue, Paper magazine set out to “break the internet” with the help of
Kim Kardashian
. Given that they managed to rack up over five and a half million search results for “Kim Kardashian Paper Magazine” in less than 24 hours, it seems like they did alright.  Our angle on this? The maestro behind the much-maligned, much-appreciated shot is the French contemporary photographer and designer, Jean-Paul Goude.
For the Paper cover, Goude re-created what is arguably his most famous shot, “Carolina Beaumont, New York, 1976” (above left). Often referred to as “Champagne Incident,” Goude’s picture is characteristic of the artist’s playful, winking approach to sexuality. The French-born Goude began his career in magazines — he served as art director for Esquire during the ’70s — and later stepped behind the lens to create frank, colorful images that flirted with the boundary between fine art and advertising. In fact, “Carolina Beaumont” comes from an eight-page Esquire editorial entitled “The French Connection” that aimed — in the pre-Photoshop era — to explore the changing standards of beauty vis-a-vis physical proportions. Obviously, the conversation is still happening today.
We’re fans of both images, and appreciate any occasion to surface the name of a deserving talent. Luckily, Goude’s original image is available on 1stdibs from dealer Hasted Kraeutler.

See all the 44 outfits Jennifer Lawrence wore for her Character Katrina in The Hunger Games Movies [PHOTOS]

#askaroundnow
Katniss Everdeen may have began “The Hunger Games” as a clandestine hunter and regular citizen of District 12, but the character, portrayed by Jennifer Lawrence, has become so much more. Two Hunger Games and an actual war later, Katniss has shed identities, loved ones and outfits many times over.
We’re here to talk about the outfits.
From dusty District 12 to the opulence of the Capitol — and ever Caesar Flickerman interviews, arena and battlefield in between — Katniss has modeled looks galore. The Girl On Fire even makes a grey jumpsuit look couture, if necessary.

Here’s every one of her looks from “The Hunger Games,” “Catching Fire” and what we’ve seen from “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1” so far.

Ever the professional, Kimberley Walsh's BFF didn't even flinch and continued her walk on with a little smirk on her pretty face.

Lady Gaga dropped The Fame Monster five years ago today (November 18), and to say that it made a major impact upon release would be an understatement. To mark the five-year anniversary, she got a commemorative tattoo.

    Nigerian Military Aircraft Bombs Boko Haram Camps In Borno Forests


    As the war against the Boko Haram by the  Federal Government intensifies, the Nigerian military has reportedly bombed the sect’s camps located in parts of Bauchi State, local and security sources have disclosed.
    As early as 6:00a.m., locals said they heard loud sounds of explosives coming from the forest where insurgents’ camps were reportedly located.
    It has been reported that  sizeable numbers of gunmen suspected to be members of the dreaded Boko Haram sect have been operating in the Balmo forests in Darazo,  Burra in Ningi, Soro in Ganjuwa and Yugda forests between Zara-Miya, while another camp is believed to exist around the Bauchi-Gombe boundary in Alkaleri.
    Some of the locals in the forest communities, who pleaded anonymity for security reasons, said the vibration shook their houses to their very foundation, adding that shortly after the explosive sounds were heard, they saw military aircraft bearing Nigerian flags hovering in the area.
    A reliable security source in the state confirmed that the army has started operation in the forest but did not give details of the development, adding that the exercise was carried out without creating panic among the inhabitants of the forests

    Why Chibok Schoolgirls Don’t Speak English

    #askaroundnow
    Many members of the Nigerian public have been vocal in expressing their concerned over the abducted Borno girls’who do not communicate in English during their press interviews. They mostly spoke in Hausa. Over 95 per cent of students in public schools in the State cannot express themselves in English, although, their written English is reportedly better.
    Some reasons were adduced for the situation, the major one being the poor standard of education and the quality of teachers in public schools across the state. Teaching Service Board officials tend to favour their kinsmen over qualified applicants.
    Most teachers in the rural areas and the students prefer speaking their own dialect either in the classrooms or during school hours, making English language secondary.
    Governor Kashim Shettima admitted in an interview that, “In 2011 WAEC examinations, only three students at one of the government secondary schools in Northern Borno Senatorial District had five credits, including mathematics and English language. The Three students were not from the State as their fathers were serving soldiers at Monguno Military Barracks”.
     Four abducted students were reunited with their families in Chibok, Nigeria, last month. (Photo Credit: Credit Haruna Umar/Associated Pres)
    Four abducted students were reunited with their families in Chibok, Nigeria, last month. 
    The Chibok girls reflected the quality of teachers in public schools in Borno State. Chibok, a local government headquarter, has only one secondary school, which also serves people from neighbouring local government areas. Recently, the school, which used to be only for girls, was converted to a mixed school, admitting male students as non-residents.

    Only America Is Helping Nigeria Find The Kidnapped Chibok Girls – John Kerry
    During the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the September 11th attacks on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, on Capitol Hill, December 20, 2012 in Washington, DC.
    The United States is alone in helping Nigeria locate more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamists, Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday, despite help on the ground from Britain, France and Israel.
    With 80 military personnel sent to neighboring Chad for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, the United States is the biggest foreign participant in the effort against the militant group Boko Haram.
    Washington has also deployed surveillance drones, spy planes and about 30 civilian and military specialists to support Nigeria‘s security forces.
    “Boko Haram, Nigeria, only the United States is there offering the assistance to help find those young women,” Kerry said during a dinner at the State Department.
    “Other countries, not only aren’t they invited, but they did not even offer.”

    She can still pull it off! Jennifer Lopez recreates famous Grammys look in plunging chiffon dress and knickers... 14 YEARS later

    #askaroundnow
    When Jennifer Lopez wants to make a statement, she does so with her clothing.
    The 44-year-old singer showed up to the Billboard Awards Sunday looking like a glamorous superhero in a red - and very plunging - sheer gown by Donna Karan. 
    It didn’t appear to be an accident that the dress was reminiscent of the green Versace number she set tongues wagging with at the 2000 Grammy Awards.

    Since she was set to receive the Icon Award at Sunday’s ceremony, the Hypnotico singer made sure to look the part.

    The entertainer, who recently switched to a vegan diet, flaunted her long legs and tiny waist in a belted bodysuit that she rocked underneath the chiffon robe.
    Her hair - which was pulled off her face and into a semi up-do with added extensions - was virtually identical to the one she wore with the Versace dress.

    Jay Z
    and Solange are finally addressing the infamous elevator fight video ... saying BOTH sides are to blame for the violence that unfolded.

    Jay Z, Solange, and Beyonce released the joint statement moments ago, saying, "Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologized to each other and we have moved forward as a united family."

    The statement continues, "The reports of Solange being intoxicated or displaying erratic behavior throughout that evening are simply false. At the end of the day families have problems and we're no different."

    Stealing is not corruption, says ICPC Chairman

    ICPC Chairman, Ekpo Nta

    CONTRARY to the popular thinking that Nigeria is corrupt due to the incessant stealing of public funds by a few persons, the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission has said that stealing is not corruption.
    According to the commission, most acts credited to corruption have no relationship with stealing.
    The ICPC chairman, Mr. Ekpo Nta, said this when a delegation from the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria visited the commission in Abuja to forge inter-agency partnership against corruption.
    Nta noted that most Nigerians, including the educated, did not quite understand what constituted corruption and stressed that it was wrong to classify theft as such.
    He said, “Stealing is erroneously reported as corruption. We must go back to what we were taught at school to show that there are educated people in Nigeria. We must address issues as we were taught in school to do.”
    The commission’s boss likened the penchant for referring to theft as corruption to the ordinary Nigerian who often called a roadside mechanic an engineer.

    People Feared dead in Kano Explosion

     Scene of a bomb blast.
    A blast hit Kano on Sunday, in a street with many bars and night spots.
    Scores were feared dead in the explosion which eyewitnesses quoted by the AFP news agency said was caused by a suspected car bomb.
    The blast took place in an area mostly inhabited by Christians from southern Nigeria, the Reuters news agency reports.
    The militant Islamist group Boko Haram has carried out attacks in Kano State.
    Witnesses quoted by AFP said that the blast could be heard from several miles away and happened on a busy road lined with bars in the predominantly Christian area of Sabon Gari.
    The blast comes as the Nigerian authorities continue the search for more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram.
    Kano police spokesman, Musa Majiya, said it was too early to say if the blast in the Sabon Gari or “foreign quarter” of the North’s biggest city had caused any casualties.
    But witness Abdul Dafar, who lives a block away, told Reuters he saw at least four dead bodies after the explosion.
    “I heard a loud blast. And there was a lot of smoke. Soldiers came in to cordon off the place and ambulances were rushing people to hospital,” he said.

    Al Qaeda denies and criticizes Boko Haram’s Abduction Of Over 200 Schoolgirls

    Al Qaeda’s Shocking Response To Boko Haram’s Abduction Of Over 200 Schoolgirls
    So Sad: Mothers of the kidnapped school girls in Borno 
    As shocking as this may sound but its also true as Al-Qaeda criticizes Boko-haram activities saying its wrong to attack unarmed individuals , thereby creating opinions of political back hand.
    “Such news is spread to taint the image of the Mujahedeen,” wrote one dubious poster on a web forum used by Islamic militants whose administrator uses a picture of Osama bin Laden. “I have brothers from Africa who are in this group,” attested another, insisting that they were like “the Quran walking the earth.”As word spread like wildfire on Twitter and Facebook that Nigerian militants were preparing to auction off more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls in the name of Islam, a very different Internet network started quietly buzzing too.
    Boko Haram, the cultlike Nigerian group that carried out the kidnappings, was rejected long ago by mainstream Muslim scholars and Islamist parties around the world for its seemingly senseless cruelty and capricious violence against civilians. But this week its stunning abduction appeared too much even for fellow militants normally eager to condone terrorist acts against the West and its allies.

    The seven man team will join a team already advising Nigeria on the search, said U.S. Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, who serves as Pentagon press secretary.U.S. military officials arrived Nigeria on Friday, May 9, 2014 to help in the search for hundreds of girls kidnapped by Islamist militants, the Pentagon said.
    Kirby has said that here are no plans to send American combat troops to Nigeria.
    About 60 U.S. interagency members have been on the ground since before the kidnappings as part of counterterrorism efforts with Nigeria, a senior U.S. administration official told CNN.
    They have been holding meetings, getting resources into the country and making assessments with local authorities.
    “Our interagency team is hitting the ground in Nigeria now and they are going to be working … with President Goodluck Jonathan’s government to do everything that we possibly can to return these girls,” Secretary of State John Kerry said Thursday.
    Their tasks in the country are to establish a coordination cell to provide intelligence, carry out investigations and offer hostage negotiation expertise.

    Oops?! Rihanna Flashes Her Bum In Backless Dress That Goes Too Far [LOOK

    #askaroundnow

    Rihanna’s never been shy about showing off her figure and hours after attending the Met Ball 2014 in a Stella McCartney crop top and skirt combo, the Barbados-born singer flashed her bum in a skimpy metallic dress at an after-party.
    The ‘Diamonds’ singer didn’t seem too bothered by the fact that the top of her bottom was exposed and, rather than rushing to cover herself up, RiRi struck a super sultry pose.

    Let’s be honest though, Rihanna’s no stranger to flashing the flesh, is she?
    In recent weeks, the starlet has had her Instagram account suspended after violating the app’s rules on nudity by sharing photos of her bare bum and her Twitter feed features a number of topless snaps from a recent magazine shoot.
    The singer sported a see-through skirt to a casual dinner in Santa Monica recently, and her stage outfits aren’t exactly shy and retiring either.

    Jonathan gave the directive at the Presidential Villa in Abuja today during a high-level meeting convened to review the security situation in the country.President Goodluck Jonathan has directed the service chiefs to intensify efforts towards rescuing all the abducted schoolgirls of Chibok, Borno State.
    The meeting, which lasted for about seven hours, was in the wake of Thursday’s bombing at Nyanya, Abuja and the kidnapping by suspected terrorists, of over 200 girls of Government Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State, on April 15.
    Briefing State House journalists after the meeting, Information Minister Labaran Maku said the meeting received updates on the second Nyanya bombing, the ongoing search for the Chibok girls and efforts made so far to deal with related incidents of insecurity and terrorism in the country.
    The minister stressed that during the closed door meeting, the president had directed the security agencies to intensify efforts to rescue the abducted girls.
    According to him, Jonathan assures Nigerians that “wherever the girls are in the world, we will get them back, apprehend and punish the culprits”.
    He said in view of the inconsistent and contradictory information available to the government on the girls’ abduction, the president had set up a fact-finding committee comprising security agencies, civil society, international organisations and other stakeholders.

    She's well known for her gorgeous curves and impressive assets up front.
    But in a cheeky behind the scenes video from a Sports Illustrated shoot in the Cook Islands, Kate Upton has opened up about her less talked about but still fabulous behind.
    The 21-year-old joked with the crew that her favourite bikini from the photo shoot was a bright skimpy multi-coloured number, one that showed off her toned posterior.

    'You know what, my butt doesn't get that much attention, so I think this shot will get it the attention it deserves,' she said with a smile.
    The Other Woman actress certainly seemed to be enjoying her time on set, against the backdrop of a picturesque island and crystal clear water.
    Throughout the video, crew and cameramen prompt her with questions, and ask her to talk them through what's happening as she models.
    In one instance Kate is surrounded by people adjusting her bikini and fixing her long blonde locks, and is asked why a female is making her striking white bikini top smaller.
    Kate replied: 'Because you know it helps me appear larger up top, which clearly I need help in.'
    The model also chatted about what it was like to shoot with Sports Illustrated, and admitted it's one of her favourite publications to work with.

    Federal Court Says Reps Lied, No Court Order Restraining Probe Of Alison Madueke, NNPC

    #askaroundnow


    The announcement by the House of Representatives’ Public Accounts Committee (PAC) Monday that it could not proceed with the probe into alleged N10 billion expended by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on the lease of private aircraft for the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke, owing to a court injunction, has been dismissed as an outright lie by the Federal High Court in Abuja.
    Taking the lawmakers to task, the court yesterday in Abuja summoned the House of Representatives to come and show it the purported order which stopped it from going ahead with the probe.
    THISDAY had correctly reported yesterday that the court had rejected the request by the minister and NNPC seeking an interim injunction stopping the House from its investigation.
    In the alternative, the plaintiffs had asked the court for an order of status quo, directing the parties to maintain the current position as at the date of filing the suit.
    Instead of granting their request, the court had on April 14 directed the House of Representatives to appear before it to show cause why the interim orders being sought should not be granted.
    However, at the resumed sitting on the suit yesterday, a visibly exasperated Justice Ahmed Ramat Mohammed said he was embarrassed when he woke up on Monday night and saw a barrage of headlines claiming that he granted an order restraining the House’s committee from going ahead with the probe.
