10 Yr Old Nigerian Girl Makes Forbes History
So nice

Zuriel Elise Oduwole, an amazing 10-year-old of Nigerian-American heritage, has made history as the youngest person ever to be interviewed in Forbes.
The interview with the award winning documentary film maker, conference speaker and writer is featured in the August 2013 edition of Forbes Africa.
At just 10, whiz kid Zuriel possesses amazing talent that has resulted in her interviewing business leaders, current and past world leaders and heads of states.
They include the current Presidents of Tanzania, Mauritius, and Malawi–one of Africa’s only two female national leaders. Others are ex-presidents Jerry John Rawlings and John Kufuor of Ghana.
Zuriel has also had a one-on-one interview with Africa’s most successful businessman, Mr. Aliko Dangote. She even got a standing ovation for her sets of provoking and creatively intelligentquestions to tennis superstars, Venus & Serena Williams, during their world press conference in Nigeria.
Zuriel says she has not been granted an interview by the President of Nigeria because of his busy schedules but hopes to achieve that soon.
Zuriel (which is Hebrew for God is my Rock) believes if she can walk a mile, then there are girls who on seeing her work and progress made, would walk a mile and half.

Various groups from within the community attired in beautiful colourful native costumes paid homage to the traditional ruler with the Motor bikers group drawing the most attention with their biking display.

#BBATheChase: Angelo Is Only Using Beverly Osu For Séx – SA Fiancée Candice Arends

If you are one of those that have been supporting Nigeria’s Big Brother Africa representative, Beverly Osu, while she throws herself at South African housemate, Angelo Collins, then you should get this message across to her. Angelo’s South African fiancee, Candice Arends is not taking the whole show of shame funny and she has come out to say she is ready to fight for her man as they are planning to get married before the end of this year. In an interview with a South African blog, Candice made it clear that Angelo is only having fun with Beverly and that he will come back to her at the end of the reality TV show. She said that she and Angelo have a very serious relationship and that she understands his moves in the house as the Nigerian girl is practically throwing herself at him and he has no option but to take advantage of her.....*eyes rolling*

Nigerian Celebrities Whose Marriages have Stood the Test of Time
These days, all we get to read about is celebrity marriages that have tumbled and crashed. Now, how about we acknowledge and celebrate those who have been able to keep their homes steady? Here's a list of Nigerian celebrities whose marriages have stood the test of time!
*Capt Matthew Ekehinde and Omotola Jalade Ekehinde. These couple have always had each other's back. Capt Ekehinde is Omotola's number1 fan and he has been supporting her all through her career. Isn't that sweet?!
* Emeka And Emma Ike. The Nollywood lover boy still holds it down with his sweetheart despite the many distractions in his field. Notwithstanding the large population of admirers among fans, colleagues and friends, Emma still remains the only one.
* Joke sylva and Olu Jacobs- I have a dream that someday, nollywood, and hollywood perhaps, would produce the love story of this couple. In spite of fame and stardom, they have enjoyed 25 years of marriage. Beat that if you can...!
* Ramsey Noah and Emike Phillips Noah. Here's one more fiiiiiine boy of nollywood. Obviously, he knew what he wanted, went for it and stuck to it. Thumbs up handsome!
* Isaac and Nneka Ene of Goge Africa. These couple love to have fun! I'll tell you they've been everywhere you can ever think of, especially in Africa. They cheer together, move together, do the same things and laugh hard; I would say they love each other's company. Compatibility can go no further.

* Patrick and Iretiola Doyle. These couple know how to keep it on the low. They are one of the few icons whose stories don't get splashed in the papers just like that. This could mean they are understanding and super-united. What do you think?

* Tunde and Wunmi Obe. TWO are living life to the fullest. They are one of the few couples who love to do the same things. What's more? They look alike, when you know their kilos, you'll see what I mean.

* Richard Mofe Damijo and Jumobi Adegbesan. What a fine couple they make. When beauty and prince charming are in sync, I can bet they'll beget a Cinderella, a Snowwhite, a Pocahuntas or one of those belles we see on TV. Nice combo guys!
* Sonny and Betty Irabor. These couple make a good example of one who have stood the test of time. They are into different fields and they are doing well in their fields of choice. I haven't heard one scandal about them and I do not hope to.

* Austin JayJay and Nkechi Okocha. Unlike many football stars, JayJay has been able to put all his golden eggs in one deserving basket. These couple have an inspiring story but I guess that'll be a blog for another day. Nkechi remains the great woman behind this successful footballer.
N.B: 2face and Annie idibia: They might have gotten married recently, but their relationship has gone through a lot of ups and downs and they are still kicking it. I wonder why Hollywood is still silent about mirroring their story on stage. Or would producing a movie based on their story take as much time as it took the couple to make their marriage decision? Just thinking out loud *lol*!
And....oh...no! The list isn't complete without the first Nigerian couple!!!
