VIDEO: DKB Slaps Zaniab On Big Brother Africa
DKB stormed the kitchen to warn Zainab, who he alleged of peeping at him in the bathroom while about to take his bath. Zainab warned DKB not to point his fingers at her, which provoked him the more. "I am warning you for the last time. I will slap you if you try that (peep at him in the bathroom) again," was DKB's warning to Zainab.
Come slap me now was Zainab's response, who rushed to confront DKB by standing in-front of him.
This got DKB angry. He pushed her by the chest and slapped her with his left hand.
DKB was later summoned by Biggie into the Diary room. Both housemates have been disqualified from the house. That was the second time both have had confrontations.

The Many "Pet Projects" Of First Ladies In Nigeria
I remember
Maryam Babaginda’s "Better Life for Rural Women"
Mariam Abacha’s "Family Support Programme"
Stella Obasanjo’s "Child Care Trust"
Turai Yar’dua’s "Women and Youth Empowerment Foundation"
Titi Atiku’s "Women Trafficking and Child Labour Eradication Foundation (WOTCLEF) for war against human trafficking"
Dame Patient Goodluck's "Women For Change Initiative"...
These "Pet Projects" have spanned over a decade and keep changing names, colour and wrapping sheet though the same package.
They have all promised Change,women empowerment,better life,fresh air and everything imaginable.Hwever one begins to wonder what exactly are these programmes all about?
Are they just avenues for First Ladies to seek relevance for their office,buy away time and have something to do besides trying on clothes,bags,shoes and bling-bling,have tea parties with their friends and ladies in waiting or are these projects actually touching and changing the lives of women out there?
Do we know of anyone or woman out there whose life has been positively affected by any of these Pet Projects?Or should these Projects be Scrapped by Government with the backing of the Constitution? What is your take on this?

N15m Scandal: My apologies for Pushing Habiba into surgery – Jim Iyke
Habiba who withdrew the case, as a result of an appeal by Jim Iyke to settle out of court, had fired back at Jim Iyke for openly posting a comment on twitter that they both agreed to settle out of court. Habiba had on the contrary asserted that Jim's parents came to beg her, and as such she accepted to settle out of court.
However, our correspondent who visited Jim Iyke's fashion office, Untamed Closet spoke EXCLUSIVELY with the Nigerian award winning actor, who had disclosed that though he had learnt to be silent over the matter, it would be reasonable to apologize to Habiba for pushing her into embarking on Plastic surgery just to slim to Fashion.
In a swift reaction to Adoyi's question over Habiba's claim that Jim put her through unimaginable stress and pain as a result of her recent surgery in order to slim to fashion, the actor admittedly said that he only met Habibaba through his sister, and that he made jokes out of habiba's tummy and shape, but had not on any occasion advised Habiba to do any kind of plastic surgery.
According to Jim Iyke "I'm playful and jovial, and because I can make fun out of anything, I had jokingly complaint of Habiba's size sometime in my family house. I crack the same jock even with my sister, and we all laugh over it. I do not think the claim you said Habiba is making is actually true. How can she be claiming that I pushed her into the pain of plastic surgery? I really don't have anything personal with her.
My sister said Habiba told her something of sort, but I never believed it. I thought it was one of those gossips. Hearing it from you actually confirms that she said something related to that, but would you believe that I will advise a married woman against her wish to go for surgery? I don't even think she did that just to be appreciated by anybody.
If she went through any kind of stress as a result of that, then I'm sorry, but I guess she did that for her husband and not for anybody close to me. My overseas trip wouldn't let me see even my people for days and months, so where is the time to even talk on menial issues? I have got big stuffs to attend to at the moment, not really on this case; the case has taken care of itself in the most miraculous way already. I don't have much time to spend on issues of such nature.

B*R*E*A*K*I*N*G: Ghana's President Atta Mills unexpectedly dies at age 68
"It is with a heavy heart…that we announce the sudden and untimely death of the president of the Republic of Ghana," the statement reads, as quoted by Reuters.
The statement also said the president passed away at a military hospital in the country's capital Accra, within a few hours of being taken ill.
Chief of Staff John Henry Martey Newman addressed the nation in a televised broadcast, confirming news of the president's death. State-run television channels GTV and TV3 broke into regular programing for the announcement.
Meanwhile, a presidential aide said Mills died on Tuesday afternoon after complaining of pains on Monday.
Vice President John Dramani Mahama, is to be sworn as the country's new president at 1800 GMT, a parliament official said.
Mills celebrated his 68th birthday on Saturday.
Last month, Mills visited the United States for what he described as a "routine medical check-up." He also met with US President Barack Obama. Prior to his trip, he dismissed rumors regarding the state of his health.
A Western-educated university professor specializing in taxation, Mills served as the country's vice president from 1996 to 2000. He was the leftist National Democratic Congress nominee for the presidency on three occasions: in 2000, 2004 and 2008.
In 2008, Mills won a closely contested election on a platform of change and greater economic equality. One of his campaign posters even featured a photoshopped image of Mills standing alongside Barack Obama.
As president, Mills oversaw the start of oil production in the country. He was planning to run for a second term in December

Nigerians Denied Entry into Ghana Over Yellow Fever Card
Some Nigerian travellers to Accra told The Guardian that they were recently subjected to inhuman treatment at the Kotoka International Airport, Accra, over yellow fever vaccination.
The Guardian learnt that all the yellow fever cards from Nigeria were presumed fake and international passports of such Nigerians seized and the Ghanaian immigration officials insisting that the affected persons get Ghana's yellow fever cards at the cost of N2,000 before their documents could be released to them.
According to one of the affected Nigerians, "on June 29, 2012, there were two last flights by Aero and Arik that landed almost simultaneously at about 6.10 p.m. Nigerian time. Immediately, the health officials mounted an unconventional roadblock on the way to the immigration points. Every vaccination card issued in Nigeria was presumed fake. We were all asked to move to a side after all our international passports have been seized.
"New vaccination cards were issued to us after injecting us with the vaccine and a fee of N2, 000 charged for that which was paid in Nigerian currency. Charging for this in naira is curious. A pregnant woman was issued only with a card when she told them she is pregnant but after parting with N2, 000," he added.
He said attention was not paid to new international arrivals consisting of whites and blacks on board, stressing that on inquiry, "the health officials claimed ignorance of such arrivals, disclosing that they were only after Nigerians.
"We were held for hours that day. To confirm extortion of money from Nigerians, why should they collect money from a pregnant woman who was not jabbed an injection? Why should we be paying in Naira and why should every yellow fever card issued in Nigeria be presumed fake? Do the health officials of foreign countries have the powers to seize the passports of travellers/visitors to their countries? he queried.

'I Have Not Quit Nollywood..., I'm Just Angry with what's going on'- Emeka Ike 
"I have not quit Nollywood in the real sense of the word. What I did was to withdraw all my movies from the market, and I mean all the movies that are related with Emeka Ike...and the reason is not far fetched. I am angry with what is going on in the industry. My conscience would not allow me to go on with the decay in the industry.
So, I feel that was the best thing to do, to dissociate myself from the problem and stand out! So, henceforth, any Nollywood movie would not involve Emeka Ike. Rather, I want to market all my movies on the label of Emeka Ike Production. If you want to deal with me as an actor, you have to work with me under the label. That clearly separates me from Nollywood.

The Bizarre Mug Shot of JAMES HOLMES, Colorado Shooter
Officials in Colorado have just released James Holmes' mug shot -- showing the "Dark Knight Rises" shooter in an orange jumpsuit ... with a crazed look in his eyes.
The photo was taken Friday afternoon ... just hours after the 24-year-old opened fire in a movie theater ... killing 12 people and injuring 58 more. Holmes appeared in court Monday morning ... with the same odd look on his face.
Holmes is facing first degree murder charges. Prosecutors said they will consider pursuing the death penalty.

PHOTO: Meet The first Indian to shoot for Playboy
In a recent interview the Mid Day Magazine, Sherlyn Chopra said "It was the most amazing photo shoot and I can proudly say that these were the best days of my life. I first did a mock shoot with a photographer friend of mine to see how I looked without clothes. I loved what I saw and knew that with a professional team shooting me nude, I would look phenomenal. That is exactly what the magazine team has achieved and when people all over the world see me on the cover, they will all say, Wow!"
Sherlyn Chopra had created quite a stir when she announced that she would be posing nude for the Playboy Magazine. And now after the 'act' is done, she is back in Mumbai and eager to talk about her 'thrilling' experience.
PHOTO: Madonna Points Gun to Head on Stage in London
This question has been posed over the last couple weeks, as the Material Girl has gone to unusually extreme lengths on stage during various concerts.
She mooned a crowd in Rome. She purposely slipped a nip in Istanbul. She cried in Berlin. She's facing a lawsuit for flashing a Swastika over the face of a politician in Paris. And, last night in London, she pulled out a gun and pointed it at her cranium during the single "Gang Bang."
Following the controversy over Lindsay Lohan's recent gun-toting spread - the national suicide hotline referred to that act as "grossly irresponsible," considering the troubled individuals who pull the trigger in real life - it's safe to assume Madonna will also come under fire now for the maneuver.
Should she? What do you make of this loaded gesture?
Katherine Jackson, Mother of MJ, Reported Missing
Katherine's nephew Trent filed the report with the the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office, claiming he has not heard from his aunt in over a week, but Jermaine Jackson responded to the claim by sending the following Tweet:
"I want to reassure everyone (inc all sudden medical experts) that Mother is fine but is resting up in AZ on the orders of a doctor, not us. This is our mother and her health is paramount. We are not inventing or plotting anything. We are following doctor's advice. Period."
This confusion is the latest in an ongoing family dispute, as five of Katherine's kids sent a letter this week that allege their mother is being mistreated by the executors of Michael Jackson's estate.
An attorney for Katherine, Sandra Ribera, says her client flew to New Mexico on July 15 to attend a concert… but granddaughter Paris Jackson then tried to get in touch with Katherine at her aunt's Rebbie's house and was told on multiple occasions this week that she was not permitted to do so.
"yes, my grandmother is missing . i haven't spoken with her in a week i want her home now," Paris Tweeted today.
Katherine Jackson has not called her three grandchildren, who have resided with her for the last three years, since last Sunday, Ribera added, saying she "has never gone 24 hours without talking to her kids... We have no idea what's going on with her. No one has talked to her."
We'll update this unusual story with new information whenever it breaks.
Obama plans visit with victims of Colorado shooting
Obama will not attend a vigil planned there for Sunday but will continue on to San Francisco, the officials said. He also will meet with local officials in Aurora.
In his weekly radio address, Obama called for prayer and reflection on the shooting rampage in Aurora, Colo., which claimed 12 lives. He urged Americans to embrace the families who lost loved ones in Aurora and to "let them know we will be there for them as a nation."
Twelve people were killed and 58 injured when a gunman opened fire early Friday at a midnight showing of "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises." James Eagan Holmes was arrested after the shooting and is being held in solitary confinement.

Read Stars Reactions to Colorado Shooting, Push for Gun Control Laws
Many have also used this as an opportunity to push for stricter gun laws, an area in which President Barack Obama has been considered a total failure by The Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Here is a sampling of star Tweets on the matter. Read through them and share your take with us now:
****$$$$****
Cory Monteith: guns don't kill people, people do etc.. but until we can fix society somehow you probably shouldn't be able to buy AR-15's at a fishing shop ... such a senseless tragedy. when are we going to reconsider the role of guns in society? how many more times does this have to happen?
Susan Sarandon: The right to bear arms was referring to muskets. Maybe it's time to re-think our gun policy on this day of slaughter in Colorado.
Piers Morgan: Lunatics like this will always try and get guns. It should be 100,000 times harder than it is for them to do so. That's my point.
Miley Cyrus (in a retweet): Less guns = less psychopaths who can get guns = less innocent lives lost....seems pretty obvious to me.
Hmmmm!!! Has Prince Harry Gotten A New Girlfriend?!?

While Bonas technically attended the event as someone else's date, insiders say Harry and the beauty were especially "playful," especially at the after-party.
"Inside the club they were very, very friendly together and getting very cozy with each other," a witness tells People.
Aside from her looks and an impressive pedigree, Bonas has something else going for her: she looks an awful lot like Harry's serious ex, Chelsy Davy, don't you think so?
Kyle Glover, 11-Year Old Stepson of Usher, Dies of Brain Injuries
Kyle Glover, Tameka's 11-year old son from a previous relationship, has been taken off life support and has passed away two weeks after suffering irreversible brain damage in a jet skiing accident.

The fatal injury occurred on Lake Lanier in Atlanta on July 8, as Kyle was riding on an inner tube when he was struck by a passer-by in a jet ski. That individual is named Jeffrey S. Hubbard and is in under investigation for his actions.
Doctors quickly determined that Kyle was medically brain dead and he had been on life support in the hospital until yesterday.
The tragedy took place while Usher and Foster were engaged in a contentious custody fight for the two kids they share. But that court battle has now taken a backseat to the sad circumstances surrounding Glover.
CODED-ish Team sends their thoughts and prayers to his family.
Happy 20th Birthday, Selena Gomez!
So there's really not a lot this young superstar needs for her birthday. On life in general, for that matter.
But it's still worth sending some love and some best wishes to Selena today... because she's turning 20 years old!

It's been another extremely successful year for the artist, who left music behind a bit and starred in three movies. She plans on going off on a new tour and recording a new album in the near future.
In the meantime, she'll settle for helicopter dates with her very attractive boyfriend.
We hope Gomez has a terrific, safe birthday.
Tonto Dikeh Acts Nice, Apologizes To Rita Dominic After Ranting On Twitter
Apparently not wanting a situation she would be pitched against Rita Dominic, Tonto quickly tweeted at Rita Dominic clearing the air at once.
She tweeted, "Ma, I'm terribly sorry for the rumours going on. I pray you understand the love and respect I have for you. I'll never disrespect you; dead or alive."
This apology by Tonto to Rita has taken many by surprise because of the believed 'eccentric' nature of the Tonto Dikeh. Some have insinuated that Tonto quickly apologised to Rita because Rita is also a no-nonsense person.
Is this a confirmation that 'no matter how mad a dog might be or go, it would surely succumb to the orders of its owner'?.. Na True Talk Nw, Abi?!? Coded-ish Readers

Meanwhile, it seems during her slumber, Jannette scratched Keitta because his healing wound on the arm had reopened but of course she had no idea about it.
However, Wati joked that it could have been a love bite for Keitta amid giggles.
But hey, do not speculate what could have happened, these two had different blankets, so no need to worry.
