Iconic action movie star, writer, stuntman, director and martial artist, Jackie Chan, is to be given an honorary Oscar for his “extraordinary achievements” in film.
Chan, 62, the Hong Kong-born star of Hollywood movies such as “Drunken Master“, “The Karate Kid” and the “Rush Hour” franchise, will join documentary maker Frederick 
Wiseman, British film editor Anne V. Coates and casting director Lynn Stalmaster as recipients.
Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs described the four as “true pioneers and legends in their crafts”. Chan, 62, starred in dozens of martial arts films in his native Hong Kong.
He went on to huge international success with hits like Rumble in the Bronx, the Rush Hour franchise, and the animation film Kung Fu Panda.

.
.
The other three honorary winners have all had long careers in film.
Anne Coates spent more than 60 years in movie editing, winning an Oscar for her work on Lawrence of Arabia; Lynn Stalmaster was involved with more than 200 feature films, including The Graduate and Deliverance; and Frederick Wiseman has made almost a film a year since 1967. 
Chan made his movie debut at the age of 8, and has acted and sometimes written and directed more than 30 martial arts movies in Hong Kong. He has never won an Oscar.
In August, he was ranked the second-highest paid actor in the world by Forbes with estimated 2016 earnings of $61 million, just below “Fast and Furious” star Dwayne Johnson.
Their statuettes will be presented at the Governors Awards ceremony in November.

Some people just want to be what they are not; they are not satisfied with their physical appearances and would do everything they could to make them look different.

 

Permit us to be a bit cynical with this piece. It would not be out of place for us to be this way judging by the fact that one cannot really comprehend the reason why some people would choose to look like an animal despite being made a higher animal by the creator of all things.

This post is about a young man who had a surgery to get horns on his head. This could be a bit unsettling; why on earth would anyone choose to tamper with his natural looks by having horns on his head when he was not born with one?

It is really mind boggling to think anyone would love beasts and animals so much he would be willing to switch places with them.

.
.

The young man in this piece is a Jamaican artist, he is known as Furtyle Brain. He wanted to change his looks so he consulted a Canadian surgeon who helped with the implantation of the horns.

The most logical explanation for this would be to accept that the world is indeed coming to an end. No one can really understand why any rational being would decide to have horns implanted in his head when he is not dressed up for Halloween.

Finding the reason for his action may take the whole day as you may never be able to fully understand his reasons. Thus, trying to think like Furtile Brain may be a futile endeavour. For something to be described as futile means it is incapable of producing any useful result.

Why thinking about his reasons, try not to wonder what could have happened to his brain in the process if the surgery had gone wrong. You never can tell, the horn may be a source of inspiration to him for his musical career.

Find below pictures of the man who had surgery to get horns:

1. What Is This?

What do you think of this?

2. Is This For A Goat Or Ram?

Let us deal with this carefully; this horn belongs to an animal. Do you know what animal it is?

3. The World Is Coming To An End

Why would a good looking young man decide to trade his looks for that of an animal? That is food for thought.

a Catholic priest, Reverend Father Anthony Ochigbo, before an Abuja High Court over allegation that he raped a 10-year-old girl.

The Officer-in-Charge of Legal Matters at the Command, Mr. James Idachaba, made the disclosure after he applied and withdrew an initial one-count rape charge Police entered against the priest before an Abuja Upper Area Court at Gudu. 

.
.

The Upper Area court judge, Alhaji Umar Kagarko, had on Monday, remanded Rev. Ochigbo in prison custody, even as he adjourned ruling on the defendant’s application for bail. However, at the resumed sitting, the 

prosecuting counsel, Chief Superintendent of Police, Mr. Idachaba, persuaded the Upper Area Court judge to hands off the matter for a higher court to take over the trial. Idachaba, who anchored his application on Section 106 of Administration of Criminal Justice Act, ACJA, 2015, stressed that the Upper Area Court was bereft of the requisite jurisdiction to handle the case.

The prosecution told the court that it was the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), that okayed the transfer of the matter to a higher court. Despite objection by the defence counsel, Mr. Godwin Chukwukere, the court acceded to the withdrawal request. The judge said he had no option than to strike out the initial First Information Report before him and discharge the defendant. Nevertheless, the priest is still in police detention awaiting his arraignment before the high court.

There are certain kinds of women that men run away from when it comes to marriage. These are some of them.

There has been plenty written about what makes a woman attractive to a man, but that is in no way the same as what makes a woman the type of person that a guy would want to marry. If you are looking for a man to marry, rather than just a man to date, then you need to be aware of some the things that will put the guys off popping the question. Read on, and find what types of women men won’t even consider for marriage:
1. Bossy boots
Guys get enough of being told what to do at work; they don’t need it at home too. Men really don’t like to be told what to do and a bossy wife is one of their biggest nightmares!
2. Man moulder
A girl who sets out to change her man is doomed to fail at her task. Many women think they can change a man for the better, but he just doesn’t want to be changed. You can get away with so much like getting to smarten up a bit, but try and change his friends or his hobbies, and the wedding will definitely be off.
3. Green eyed monster
If you accuse a guy of cheating, when he’s not, then he is soon going to get frustrated and bored with all the suspicion. You may well have been hurt before, but that doesn’t mean that this guy will do the same, so quell the jealousy, or he won’t be hanging around long enough for a wedding.
.
.
4. The gossip pro
They might find it amusing to begin with, but it won’t take long for that novelty to wear off. Gossip is simply boring to men and it will make them wonder what you might be saying about them, behind their back.

5. Keeping up with them next door
A woman who is more interested in what other people have, rather than what she has, isn’t the type of girl that a man wants to make a lifelong commitment to. It will make him think that you will never be satisfied and that you might as well be with someone else who can give you all those things that you seem to desire.

6. I live for you and only you
Watch the fear and the dread come over him when you say these words! He’s going to be thinking that you need to get a life and he will picture a life where you can’t do a single thing without him.

7. Picky eater
Remember that being married, means eating meals together, and if all you eat is a few morsels of salad at every meal, he’s going to worry that he’s going to be on a starvation diet too.

8. The limpet
Yes, we are talking about Miss clingy here. Give him some space and let him off the leash occasionally, men hate to feel caged in.

9. The crazy party animal
The crazy party animal is a great fun for a night out, but not so good for taking home to the mother. Everyone enjoys a good night out, but not many do it every single night of the year! Guys like a bit of homeliness sometimes and they don’t want to be worrying who you are out partying with and what kind of trouble you are getting yourself into.

10. Look at me! Look at me!
It can be fun for a while, hanging out with someone who always has to be the centre of attention, but that’s going to be a bit wearing, after twenty years of it! Girls that constantly crave attention are not the type of girls that most guys want to be married to

Fela didn’t even do any international collaboration before they recognised Fela in the international market.

It’s not about hustling for that shit, I won’t hustle for that shit.

Everywhere I’ve been to right now, is based on grace of God — I just wanna hustle for my stuff, live my dream — we are not bothered‘, he said. ‘To hustle for anyone to be on my track, that’s a no, no. I’m on my Fela P right now.

Fela didn’t hustle for anybody to be on his track, he lived his life. He made his music, and when he died, they started copying his style.’

Linda Ikeji net worth has been something of debate on the internet over the years. Even Linda was so surprised to realize that her blog worth $1.2 million back in 2012, $4.3 Million in year 2013 but I think she now knows better. While some believe that she worth so much, others think it’s just a sham, how could a mere blogger worth anything. Well, the information you are about to read will settle all the arguments once and for all.

Here, we wouldn’t just mention figures, we are going to tell you exactly how we arrived at the figures so that your mind will be put to rest once and for all. Here we go!

Know About The Entrepreneur Blogger

.
.

First, we gathered much information about her acquisitions. She had spent about N50million collectively on cars both the ones for herself and the ones her family members, and another N300 million for two houses for her parents. However, we didn’t base our calculations on these since majority of the properties were acquired as gifts to her family. Nevertheless, it gave us ideas as to her true worth. For someone to acquire 5 cars and two houses within a year, that person must worth so much!

Secondly, we calculated Linda’s blog earning based on her currently verifiable advert rates and the Adsense revenue.

Linda Ikeji Net Worth Calculation
Direct Adverts
Leadboard (Header) – N950,000 x 2 = N1,900,000 monthly

Sidebar ads (Top) – N500,000 x 2 = N1,000,000 monthly

Sidebar ads (All site wide) – N400,000 x 30 = N12,000,000 monthly

Sponsored posts – N50,000 x 2 = N100,000 daily x 30 = N3,000,000 monthly.

Page branding (Site takeover) = N1,600,000 monthly

Total revenue from direct adverts = N19.5 million monthly.

Adsense Revenue
To calculate the Adsense earning, you need to understand the daily traffic stats, and from our finding, LindaIkejisblog is currently receiving more than 500,000 daily pageviews. And from our known Adsense daily stats (CTR = 0.98 and CPC = 0,45) we calculate thus –

Click Through Rate (CTR) = 500,000/100 = 5,000 x 0.98 = 4,900 clicks daily

Monthly Adsense Revenues = $2,205 x 30 = $66,150 (N12,237,750) monthly

Note: Since AdDynamo is a PPC similar to Adsense, we decided to omit that and assume it is merged with all CPC earning.

Net Worth

From the above calculations, you’ve seen that Linda Ikeji is conservatively making –

N31,737,750 monthly.
Armed with the above information, it is now easy for us to arrive at her current net worth. So, we decided to engage the services of our in house web traffic appraisal expert.

He used aftermarket procedures and the above monthly earning to calculate the worth of LindaIkeji.Blogspot.com to be $10 million. Could have worth more if the name is a top level domain name.

Finally, even if Linda is the most extravagant spender in Nigeria, she will still have nothing less than N1,000,000,000 million cash right now, which represents just 2014 and 2015 earning minus total expenditures.

Therefore, Linda Ikeji’s current net worth is:-

$10 million (N2,700,000,000) + N500,000,000

Linda Ikeji net worth = N3,200,000,000 (3.2 Billion +)

Now the news is everywhere, especially in places where the media gossips can get them, that Linda Ikeji has finally gone nuclear and launched everything in every available space, with multi-million naira investments to make sure she wins, the wags are out again: how is she getting the money? Where is she getting the money from? Has the APC replaced the PDP as her biggest alleged benefactor? Find out below…

So maybe we need to put this to rest once and for all.

Linda Ikeji does not, in fact, need the money of any rich man, political party, or drug leader. You have to believe it: she makes all this money from blogging, from good old, consistent, hard-charging, talented, break-the-news-and-the-gist-first blogging.

To convince you and shut this down for the very last time, we will do the maths for you.
On Thursday, 11 August, we sat down – all of us together – and did an analysis of Linda’s income in just one day, on just one site.

There are five basic income streams that are visible to the eyes on the lindaikejisblog.com homepage.

1. Sponsored posts

In one day, we counted 20 sponsored posts on Linda Ikeji’s site. TWENTY. And for good measure, we went back two weeks. That’s the average. 20. Linda Ikeji’s posts go for 50,000 each. Now, because they already so fairly priced, she doesn’t give discounts on this amount – no matter the bulk, at least for the larger market. Last two weeks, she updated the cost to N55,000. But for the sake of argument, let’s go with N50,000.

That means that in just ONE DAY, last Thursday, Linda Ikeji made N1 million naira. And she makes this minimum N1 million EVERY WEEK DAY. Without fail. That’s N20 million naira per month, ONLY from sponsored posts.

These are adverts placed directly by companies or agencies. We haven’t confirmed the new figures, but on an average this should cost N500, 000 per month each. We counted 12 on her site on Thursday. That is N6 million in one month.

We see no evidence that any of them is an in-kind ad, perhaps from an event partnership. But let’s even assume that 2 of them are. So let’s make that N5 million a month

.

.

3. Google Ads

This is her main source of income and the reason why the silly made-up scandal by Mr. Ayedee made her come out swinging. Her Google income, which comes in dollars, is her biggest, most consistent source of income outside of the top banner ads. They are a mainstay of the major sites in the country in terms of traffic including Na ij, P ulse, D aily Post, SaharaRepo rters, TooX clusive, and Naij aloaded.

Let’s assume Linda is doing 1 million page views a day in traffic – and there is no reason why she shouldn’t. Why we are so sure? Alexa rankings are inaccurate judge of traffic, but for the top 50 players on that rankings site, they are pretty much reliable. You don’t get to the top 50 by playing around with Alexa toolbars, or tech-contenting your way there.

Insiders say Naij.com makes about 3 million, and certainly no more than 2 million page views a day.
Linda is Number 14 in Nigeria, and most importantly, Number 2,130 globally. Naij is Number 18 in Nigeria, and 2,168 globally. Since global is the best indicator for assumed pageviews, it means they are bye and large getting the same traffic. If the sources from Naij aren’t suffering some kind of brain damage, that means Linda is hitting at least 2 million page views a day.

But for the purposes, of conservative calculations, let’s say it’s 1 million. She has the traditional 3 Google Ads on her site to suck up the income from that traffic. For that amount of traffic, she should be making no less than $50,000 monthly. Converting it with the really dollar exchange rate, not the anomaly from the Central Bank of Nigeria, that’s at least (we used 375), that is a monthly revenue of at least N18,750,000.

You still here?

4. Top banners

At any given time that Jesus is on the throne, Linda has a minimum of 3 top banners on her site. On Thursday, when we counted there were three.

Each of those go for at least N1 million monthly. So, for those three, Linda has at least N3 million in her bank account.

So, N3 million.

Linda screenshot45. Site takeover

This is hugely popular in Nigeria if you’re BellaNaija or LindaIkeji. She has had the God is Good Motors app takeover on that site for at least three weeks now, if not a month.

That takeover costs N750,000 a week – the last time our source made a payment for the space. Four weeks makes that N3 million.

Yeah?

So let us do the maths together, brothers and sisters.

20,000,000 + 5,000,000 + 18,750,000 + 3,000,000 + 3,000,000 = 49,750,000.
Rounded up to the closest reasonable total, that is 50 million naira.

From just the things we can see on her site, Linda Ikeji has the capacity, on an average day to pull in 50 million naira through her blog.

That’s a reasonable assumption of N600,000,000 every year

Celeb Gossip

Residents of Port Harcourt have been advised to stop drinking garri soaked in cold water for now, because rats that carry the highly contagious Lassa fever virus also like exposed dry garri.
Dr. Furo Green, the Chairman of Rivers State branch of Nigerian Medical Association, NBA, gave this medical advice, while speaking on the Lassa Fever scourge in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State Capital.

.
.
Dr Furo Green said the call became necessary as rats that cause Lassa fever are mostly in contact with garri. “Because you are not sure which garri has been infected by rats, its advisable to stay away. When you want to sip garri, you only pour cold water, add sugar and milk as the case may be.
“When you do that you only succeed in gulping a life virus that can cause Lassa fever. The virus is empowered easily to attack you. Rather, garri should be consumed in the traditional way prepare it well boiled hot water or pour the garri in a pot of boiling hot water and steer it.”
Dr. Green also advised members of the public to store food in closed containers to keep rats at bay. “When you buy foodstuffs like garri, you should pour it into a container that is covered to avoid the garri from being contaminated infected rats”.
He warned members of the public to keep personal hygiene of washing hands, keeping our environment clean of leftover food and other measures.
Since the outbreak of Lassa fever disease, three people have died in Rivers state, claiming the life of a medical doctor with the state-owned Braithwaite Memorial Specialised Hospital (BMHS), Livy Ijamala, on Wednesday January 13 night.
The medical doctor was said to have contracted the fever from a pregnant woman that conducted an emergency Cesarean Section unknown to him that she was infected.
The death of Ijamala brought to three, the number of persons who have died from the disease in the state, as a nursing mother and her two-week-old baby died earlier from the virus.

Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, on Sunday the 14th day of August, 2016 said President Buhari will be known as one of Nigeria’s best presidents .

In an opinion article he he said:

“The currency liberalisation and the deregulation of the petroleum products sale will make President Buhari one of the best presidents till date. “The removal of subsidies on the petrol products has saved the government more than N2tn annual expenditure in this respect.

“President Buhari’s foreign trips have brought many things to the country. He has energised our foreign policy. Beyond the enormous goodwill reaped from “resetting” age-old but damaged relations with neighbours and distant partners and friends, the President has attracted foreign development assistance and direct investments. It is generally accepted that good foreign relations bring foreign direct investment. So much is currently being done one year into the administration. This is in spite of the world economy being sluggish and recession-stricken.”

.
.

“I don’t say that media criticism is not reflective of the feeling of the citizens. President Buhari has himself on numerous occasions admitted that the change mantra has brought with it pain and suffering which he likened to the pains of labour. It is a passing phase.

“When they ask the question, is this the change we voted for, the critic forgets how far we have come from the scam-tainted years of the PDP (Peoples Democratic Party) rule. How many people have given a thought to the possibility of Nigeria doing something that the combined strength of Europe and America have failed to do?

“Unfair criticism of the Buhari administration especially on account of escalating prices of foodstuff and the liberalization of the currency exchange needs to be challenged before it overshadows the commendable job the President has done in fighting terrorism as part of overall effort to secure the country, reducing corruption and yes, arresting the economic slide before it sinks the nation.”

“There are many today who take for granted the declared victory over the Boko Haram terrorists, forgetting the reign of the bomber who made it almost impossible for regular attendance in churches and mosques in many of our cities, including the Federal Capital City, Abuja.

“Victory over Boko Haram has brought peace not only to Nigeria but to the countries in the Lake Chad region.

“The world leaders are still at work trying to contain the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq, ISIS, which threat sadly continues to become more potent.

“Everyone living in Nigeria knows that there is a major movement against corruption as part of the ongoing change. This war has forced the return to the treasury of billions of Naira and millions of Dollars stolen by past officials.”

Politics

Nigerian Comedian, Basketmouth, talked on the negative influence of social media in the entertainment industry.

In an interview with The Gist which was aired on Hip TV Saturday, the 13th day of August, 2016 . He said:

“To a large extent, I think there are a lot of people abusing the use of social media, I am sorry. Most of us artistes realizing that we have I, 2, 3 or 4 million people following us and you know that when you say something, a lot of people are going to react.” “It is like drug; you can’t contain yourself and start saying some crap. You are like a god having a lot of followers, whatever you tell them to do, they do.”

.
.

“I am okay with people who go on social media to rant but I am against those who have turned it into a church to settle family issues. Normally, if you have a marital problem, you call your wife one on one. If you cannot contain it, you call in the parents. That’s how I saw it when I was growing up which is the culture I have embraced. “In Teebillz situation, the way he spoke on social media really appeared as though he was going to commit suicide and said horrible things to his father.”
“Those words were words you say and just die, but now that he is still alive, how would he face his father? It would have been better if he had just written a letter to the man instead of putting it online. Unfortunately again, he went to blast his wife and his wife’s mother. These are things that shouldn’t be put online.”
“Another thing is that Tiwa has a larger following than Teebillz, after Tiwa blasted him, it was extreme and it crushed him. He had no comeback; there is no comeback to things like that.”

On clash with Davido, he said:

“There are so many times that I allow issues to slide, for instance, I said a joke that happened to be out of context about Davido; Davido was really upset. He didn’t come at me, but I was a little bit shaded with what he said. I wanted to react but instead, I apologised. “Personally for me, war should be war, come and say whatever you want to say to my face. It is wise for you not to bring out your personal issues on social media and that’s what I stand for.

“If it is a clap back at an artiste like yourself, then it is your choice. Once it gets to family, let those ones be in your house, let your Instagram and twitter group be between you, her father, her mother and herself.”
