Meet 3 year old Nigerian Photographer - Fuji Remet

I saw this yesterday and decided to share this. Should his parents support his photography career as a 3 yr old? In Nigeria, we do not support talent rather we focus on education.

CNN profiled the young budding photographer on Inside Africa yesterday and below is what they wrote about Lil Fuji... 

While most children his age in Nigeria - and the rest of the world - are more concerned with their toys than a career, Onafujiri "Fuji" Remet has already embarked on his mission to become a professional photographer.

Proud dad Pius Kugbere Remet sent in these images of his talented young son posing with family and at work in Lagos.

Himself an artist and graphic designer, he says Fuji's inspiration came from the work of his creative family.

Little Fuji even has an exhibition coming up in Lagos on June 8. Not bad for a three-year-old.

Is Vírginity Still in Vogue?

I was talking with some friends recently on the above topic and everyone had something interesting to say. It was quite enlightening to hear what the guys had to say about it.

The ladies in the group also had something different to say, but basically what each gender had to say was based primarily on gender lines.

Vírginity is like a balloon, one prick and it’s gone forever. Please pardon my pun here but what I’ve just said is true. Most of us place value on abstinence before marriage but we all also want to have a taste of the forbidden fruit so as to know what we are getting into when we get married.

Most people especially women say they want to remain as vírgins until they get married while a lot of young men are obsessed with the idea of having sèx and being experienced before marriage.

Thinking along this line, it’s almost impossible for young people to date these days without the issue of sèx being raised and in a lot of cases, acting as a catalyst for the breakdown of the relationship if not properly handled.

It is with this in mind that the question now arises whether the idea of vírginity and abstinence is still in vogue. For a lot of men, the issue of vírginity is a non-issue. Who wants to buy a car without first test driving it? Or buy a mobile phone without first making a call with it?

The idea is that when tested okay, it won’t give one stress when you take it home. The same applies to having a relationship one intends to go the whole distance with.

The idea even goes as far as men first getting their girlfriends pregnant before marrying them. I may be crucified for this but I know I’m speaking the mind of a lot of young men out there when I say that we can’t be bothered to start teaching a vírgin some new tricks in pleasuring a man when we marry a vírgin.

Yes I know the popular saying among women is that when a woman finds the right man, he will surely find other ways of expressing his love to her without trying to have sèx with her when she says she wants to remain a vírgin till they get married.

A lot of people especially women will tell you that a thing which has never been used by anyone and less accessible to many will always have value like gold or any of these precious stones.

The truth is that any man who doesn’t try to have his way with you must surely have a psychological or biological problem. The truth be told, men are sèxual animals and will find other women better attractive than you who is a vírgin.

I’m not advocating for young girls to sleep around, but saying the truth as it relates with the thinking of the African male.

It is almost an impossible dream to expect an adult African male in his sèxual prime to remain celibate with his partner during the period of courtship and not even have another girlfriend outside who may act as a side-show and who in the end if she’s as smooth and smart as Cleopatra of legend, not snatch the man from his intended with her going as far as getting him for herself.

The idea of celibacy before marriage in this present age and clime can only happen in the make-believe world of Nollywood and the pages of a romance novel or on stage.

Our grandparents may have gotten married during their time as virgíns but believe me when I tell you that the present crop of young males have no patience for such and the advent of better and faster cheaper means of communication from the old ways of love letters have also endangered the virgín specie.

If you want me to lie to you, then I’ll say that vírginity is still cherished but the truth is the truth. If it’s a lie, why do you think the so called good girls are remaining on the proverbial shelf while the black sheep of the family keeps on having all the fun and bringing home the so called good catches?

Let’s call a spade a spade; vírginity went out of vogue like the old black and white television.

Everyone is clamouring for 3 D imagery now. The value of vírginity is subjective to the person or society within which we are living and as such is basically no more in vogue.

Yes, it is

In the times of our forebears, the top of a young man’s list of “specifications” for his dream wife was that she must be a virgín. Unfortunately, it seems that this item has moved down the lists and has stopped appearing. Premarital sèx seems to have been rebranded from an abomination to a sport.

Today, talking about and indulging in sèx is no big deal, even amongst the group of people we categorise as “under-age”. However, does this mean that vírginity is no longer admirable to the majority? From my observations and discussions with people, it seems that the vírginity criterion is more of a man’s thing.

This is quite ironic because the men set this criterion for the women only; not for themselves. In fact, you hardly find men who want to ‘keep’ themselves for their wives.

So, what we find is a world filled with women who are dumped by long-time boyfriends when the boyfriends are ready to become husbands. Why? These women have served their purpose; the men must now look for vírtuous women whom they can ‘take home to Mama’.

Most times, the guys don’t admit that it is the vírginity criterion that has informed their decision not to marry girlfriends with whom they were sèxually active. True, but very sad.

On the other hand, it seems that women just assume that men, by default, are prone to become sèxually active long before they are ready to tie the knot. Women, therefore, do not generally put vírginity on their list of must-haves.

As long as the man shows potential to be faithful, the woman is fine. You hardly hear that a woman asked her boyfriend if he is a virgin, but every woman must answer the question in whatever manner it is phrased. Because of the numerous advantages of being a virgin before marriage, I believe vírginity will always be in vogue. Some reasons are:

• It creates more room for a strong mental and emotional connection with only your spouseVírgins are more respected by spouses and in-laws

•  There is no ‘past’ or ‘ex’ to be wary of

•  Vírgins are more likely to be faithful partners

• Vírgins hardly have issues of emotional or sèxual dissatisfaction

• A person’s past life may be a ground for his/her spouse to easily distrust him/her or be paranoid/suspicious

•  No fear of STDs

•  No comparison between spouse and past partners

The truth is: a lot of men who desire to marry vírgins seem to have ‘lowered’ their standards or specifications because vírgin ladies seem to be ‘endangered species’. So most times, when a man says he is not so bent on marrying a vírgin, it is not because he would rather have a woman who by reason of her ‘many escapades’, has become ‘skillful’ in the ‘art’ of sèx.

No! It is simply because he acknowledges the fact that a lot of ladies (for various reasons) lose their vírginity before they are ready to tie the knot, and some of them could have turned new leaves. Simply put, vírginity is still in vogue, but in a subtle way.

People hold vírgins in high regard, but they just don’t admit to or express how high they rank vírginity.

I believe this is one of the instances that capture the fact that perception is stronger than reality. Young people now strongly believe that vírginity is not an asset, so they don’t need to keep themselves “intact” until they get married.

What they fail to realise, especially the female folk, is that almost every man desires to get married to a vírgin, though they may not voice out their desire. In fact, the reason why some do not insist on waiting to get a vírgin is because vírgin ladies seem to be joining the category of endangered species. Another reason is that most men know that they do not have the moral right to insist on marrying vírgins. So is vírginity still a priced asset? Of course, it is!

The Sexiest Women in The Entertainment

From left: Juliet Ibrahim, Toolz, Damilola Adegbite, Oluchi Onweagba Orlandi, Osas Ighodaro.

 Celebs often have the charm to command our admiration not just because of some talent, but mostly because they possess the killer looks and appeal that gets us excited about listening to or watching them.

In no particular order, some of the women in entertainment that are consider sexy in all ramifications are being profiled; a great body, beauty, sexual appeal, unblemished skin, confidence, successful career, public persona and charisma.see below

Genevieve Nnaji

Genevieve Nnaji - She is one of Nigeria’s most recognised actresses, even Oprah referred to her as the Julia Roberts of Africa. Her style is ingenious, simple and sophisticated. Every Nigerian magazine continue to jostle to have her on their covers. Despite the body enhancement trends, Genny remains an unblemished beauty with a flawless dark skin and her ever youthful looks makes her good enough to compete in any beauty pageant if age wasn’t a criteria.

Toolz

Toolz- Born Tolu Oniru, but well known as Toolz. She is a description of what you would call a total package; an extra thick body with curves, fine face, sexy voice and an on air persona that gets fans to always tune in to her shows. With a mind-boggling figure, Toolz is like the carving of a goddess, that many have always wondered what she would look like naked, having every feminine attribute in generous proportion.

Damilola Adegbite

Damilola Adegbite - It seems this damsel just recently came to the knowledge of her sexiness and since then she continues to do justice to that fact by flaunting it in our face. In just a few years, Damilola has transformed from just a regular TV star to a sexy screen diva. The actress and model has a very calm and soothing beauty that makes you want to get to know more about her… I mean more than she has already revealed.

Agbani Darego

Agbani Darego - Nigerians will never forget when this sexy model became the first black Miss World in 2001. There was just none good enough for the crown that year but our own Agbani. Twelve years later, she is still radiating with the poise, grace, class, beauty, and elegance that won her the title years ago.

Yvonne Nelson

Yvonne Nelson- Seems like almost every week she releases photos to justify why she is one of the sexiest and hottest actresses in Africa. For Yvonne Nelson, her hot body and ultra sexy long legs have become her strongest selling point; with  many male fans drooling.

Omotola-Jalade-Ekeinde

Omotola-Jalade-Ekeinde- She needs no elaborate description because she obviously oozes of sexiness so much that her fans (including her honey boy) have nicknamed her Omosexy. As the reigning queen of Nollywood and one of TIME magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World, her face on the cover art of any movie guarantees a hit because of how fans have come to adore and idolize her. When you think of her pretty face, her pretty smile, oh my god!…her backside! The mother-of-four is still every man’s desire, and even her husband know this…

Tiwa Savage

Tiwa Savage - Two words describe Miss Savage; sexy and hot. One of the things that she got going for her is the mild combination of beauty and talent. She’s also got that good girl-bad girl persona. On a good day, you would get to see her innocence, but on stage, she transforms into a wild version of herself and believe me, you don’t want to miss her on stage when she gets into her killer dance moves, clad in near-naked attires… One lucky guy, that Tee Billz.

Rita Dominic

Rita Dominic – With an impeccable dress sense and style, Dominic, 38, always gets heads turning whenever she graces the red carpets. Her choice of wardrobe is so on point and somehow, the clothes always seem to fit her perfectly. Her almost flawless light-skin and subtle kissable lips is what seems to get many men going crazy over her.

Juliet Ibrahim

Juliet Ibrahim- Apart from being a Kim Kardashian look-alike, Juliet believes she is more beautiful than Kim, and she might be right given her seductive eyes and curves. The mother of one is always open to experimenting with different styles and funny how they always seem to work for her.

Tonto Dike

Tonto Dike - She has no problem playing daring roles in movies or revealing parts of her body to the camera. Tonto is sure as hell sexy and she knows it. As much as she enjoys the controversies around her, the tattoo donning actress possesses the charm to always get our attention without even trying…

Chika Ike

Chika Ike - Chika Ike is one female celebrity that kicks with that sexual appeal everytime. The sexy and beautiful actress is endowed with a firm body to get any man running wild with sexual imagination. Since her venture into Nollywood, the recently divorced actress and two-time African Movie Academy Award (AMAA) nominee’s profile has risen to a sex symbol status, at least to many of her fans.

Eku Edewor

Eku Edewor - If her shinny fair complexion doesn’t get your attention when she’s on TV or the red carpet, her infectious smile definitely will. Her long straight legs are definitely a plus for the Studio 53 co-presenter. There’s a certain elegance, and grace that comes with her, and also a bit of an innocent naïve look. Add her style sense to all that, and it’s easy to see why she’s one of the most desirable women on TV.

 Nadia Buari

Nadia Buari- The delectable actress has become one of the most celebrated Ghanaian actresses. Her infectious smile and almost innocent look is a winner anytime. So long as she is in a movie, 40minutes watching a poorly scripted flick might not totally be a waste of time after all.

Munachi Abii

Munachi Abii- Since clinching the crown for the 2007 edition of the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN), Muna as she is now being called has grown in popularity and status. In 2011, Muna signed an endorsement deal with Unilever as a model for Lux and currently features in commercials for the brand. The 26 year old beauty queen turned rapper always gets a thumbs up for her sense of style, except for one time when her boobs almost popped out on her birthday photo.

Oluchi Onweagba Orlandi

Oluchi Onweagba Orlandi- From winning the coveted M-NET ‘Face of Africa’ in 1998,  Oluchi has gone on into the world of global high fashion, walking the runways for top designers of note and gracing the covers of the world’s most fashionable magazines. Now married with lovely kids, it is still hard for her to turn off her sexiness.

Jackie Appiah 

Jackie Appiah- Jackie Appiah strikes one as a true African beauty with her beautiful dark complexion and full body size. Over the years, she has appeared in several movies garnering in Nigeria almost twice the number of fans she has in her home country. Her male colleagues think she is a great kisser…I may need to find out someday.

Annie Macaulay-Idibia

Annie Maculay - Although she is not known to be type to boast about how sexy she is, Annie, the wife of pop icon, 2face Idibia definitely has that sex appeal. The mother of one always dazzles with or without make up on. She can be in her occasional tomboy looks and still look sexy in it without a doubt.

Osas Ighodaro

Osas Ighodaro- When she was introduced to the cast of Tinsel, many wondered who this Hollywood-looking starlet was. The New York born Nigerian-American actress and former Miss Black USA 2010 is nothing less than an attention getter anytime, any day. She’s gorgeous, well educated and well spoken. And many a man, are now beginning to discover her…

Emmy Nyra

Emmy Nyra - As if her vocals on pop star, Iyanya’s ‘Your Waist’ wasn’t seductive enough, the rising singer brought sexy back in her music video as she continues on the waist winding mission. Coupled with her very pretty face, the Made Men Music Group’s First Lady who’s rumoured to be dating her label CEO Ubi Frnklyn, packs a heavy bum and thick thighs and she sure knows how to flaunt it.

Kate Henshaw

Kate Henshaw- At 42, Nollywood actress, Kate Henshaw still makes our list – thanks to a banging body that many in their twenties would kill to have. There’s no denying the fact that the single mother still got that sexual appeal that gets her always glowing anytime she’s on screen or on the red carpets.

Jocelyn Dumas

Jocelyn Dumas- You may remember her from rapper Lynxxx’s video for ‘Fine Lady’ as the Bride. Pretty actress and television personality Jocelyn Dumas definitely has the looks of a star. More than her talent, the 33-year old seductress is most admired for having a perfect ‘backside’.

Dolapo Oni

Dolapo Oni- She may not have the striking features of a super model, but Dolapo is smart, brilliant and intelligent, and that counts as sexy in my books. As a co-presenter of MNET’s Studio 53, she gives you that impression that she probably knows a thing or two about everything. Nothing sexier than a woman who can talk politics, economics and still watch and talk a football match with a man.

Moet Abebe

Moet Abebe - Her smile alone is that captivating, her body voluptuous. Moet Abebe in the last 20 months has stunned and struck many chords with her fab body, a delight to feel our eyes with on  TV and the red carpet. One is still waiting and hoping to watch the, erm, sex tape though!

Venita ‘Veezee’ Akpofure

Venita ‘Veezee’ Akpofure- Whether she’s twisting in some Psquare video or tossing in bed in her Instagram photos, Veezee by default oozes sex appeal. She’s also very daring with her dress sense and ensemble, definitely every male fan’s desire…

Yvonne Nwosu

Yvonne Nwosu- Sexy fashion designer, Yvonne always dazzles when it comes to making a strong fashion statement.

See how Nigerian celebrities make a lot of MONEY offstage

Although most celebrities earn much from entertaining their fans, they also venture into other businesses from which they rake in a lot of dough. Saturday Beats beams the torch on some celebs and their various businesses.

 AY

The question on everybody’s lips when it comes to this dark-skinned comedian from Ondo state is, how does he do it? He may not be the funniest comedian in the land, but he is one of the wealthiest and most business oriented. He recently bought his wife a car worth about N10m. He gained fame through impersonating Rev. Chris Okotie in his jokes, and in 2006, when he began, he was named the Best Up-Coming Comedian in Nigeria. Seven years down the line, he has the AY Show which gets good reviews. AY is the CEO, Corporate World Entertainment, an outfit that is focused on packaging events and providing contents for radio and television. His outfit powers AY Live, The AY Show and Open Mic Challenge -the monthly talent hunt programme that produced the likes of Emeka Smith, MC Shakara, Elenu, and Seyi Law. The newest spinoff of the AY brand is AY’s Crib. He has also ventured into writing, with a book, AY’s Diary.

Kefee

The beautiful songstress has been in the entertainment industry for a while. However, she became more popular with her hit song, Kokoroko, in which she featured Timaya. She is known more for singing gospel music and is often referred to as the chorus leader, which is also the name of her latest album. The music diva showed that her talent is not limited to singing. She proved she is a wonder woman in the kitchen by launching into catering business. She has her continental restaurant, Branama Kitchen, situated in Mende area of Maryland, Lagos.

Tuface

Innocent Idibia aka Tuface has been in the game for a long while. One of the pioneers of modern day R‘n’B in Nigeria, the music star has certainly made his mark in the industry. He has his own record label where he has two striving artistes, Dammy Krane and Rocksteady. 2baba, as he is often referred to, has also invested heavily in real estate. Ever heard of the club, Rumours, situated in GRA Ikeja, Lagos? It is a joint business between him and Dotun Olatoye who is a well-known name in club business in Nigeria.

Teju Babyface

He launched himself as a comic merchant. As his stage name implies, the multi-talented young man endeared himself to his fans with his hilarious jokes, dimunitive stature and ‘baby’ face. Some believe that was what he used to charm his bride who is a former beauty queen. Although he still does his comedy gigs, he is known for hosting the funniest talk show in the land – The Teju Babyface show – where he invites personalities and interviews them in a humorous manner.

Omotola Jalade-Ekehinde

Although she is a mother of four kids, this diva goes by the nickname, Omosexy, and no one can contest that she is sexy. The ‘bootilicious’ screen queen has been graced television screens for decades and has succeeded in revamping herself and blending with trends. Recently she was listed as one Time Magazine’s most influential 100 people in the world. The philanthropist now has her own reality television show, The Real Me.

Rivers Has Highest HIV/AIDS Cases

Rivers State has the highest number of people living with HIV/AIDS with a total of 145,236 adults and 15,000 children affected.

Priscillia Shu, Co-ordinator, Rhema Care Integrated Development Centre stated this when the HIV/AIDS awareness center facilitated a sensitisation programme among staff of the Rivers State Ministry of Culture and Tourism .

To curb the spread of HIV/AIDS, the awareness campaigner stressed the need  for abstinence and faithfulness to one uninfected partner at the event.

She also advised on the need to avoid use of unsterilized sharp instruments and ensure that only screened blood are transfused.

Shu recalled that the epidemic first came to lime-light in America in the 80s then gradually crept into Nigeria in 1988 in Calabar through a 13 year old teenage girl.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Culture and Tourism Mrs. Grace Akpughunum-Okwulehie who was represented by the ministry’s Director of Administration, Mrs. Ibiere Pepple enjoined all staff to join hands in minimizing the spread of HIV/AIDS
