''THEY ARE A BUNCH OF LOSERS!

The former running mate to General Buhari blasts the member of All Progressives Congress calling them bunch of looters.
Tunde Bakare claims most of the member in this new party are even richer than their states after looting them dry.
Excerpts


You are not sure if you will participate in the 2015 elections?
With who? The collection of rogues, right, left and centre?

Not even with the progressives?
Who are the progressives in Nigeria; mention their names? Are you persuaded that they are progressives,progressive where, taking you where?

The progressives who formed the All Progressive Congress (APC)

If the devil becomes a pastor, Nigerians will attend his church, because they don't know the true church and they cannot distinguish it from the synagogue of satan.
Some of these governors are far richer than their states, because they are looting their states dry.culled

*Story story!...lets wait for 2015 and all things will become clear .
Thank God,we can now use the internet to refer to some quotes from interviews

MTN PROJECT FAME: Olawale Gave A Dazzling Performance With Tiwa Savage

MTN Project Fame did it again with hot and dazzling collabo’s but who would have thought of pairing up tall slim diva Tiwa with small but mighty Olawale.
They showed off their voice ranges at the beginning of the collabo runningbeautiful scales on ‘somebody loves you back’. Tiwa was classic and Olawale was more than equal to the task. Olawale is known as ‘scales’ in the academy
because of his ability to run through a wide range of vocal notes effortlessly.

Watch the video of the full show below – Brilliant!
The dance routine was smooth and flowing with Tiwa digging and grooving and Olawale playing the wowed guy but only until it was time for him to beg for viewers to send his voting number 14 to 306 from an MTN line. With plenty of crowd support he seems a sure favourite this season.

Chinese man has new nose grown on his forehead after losing his nose in a car crash

A 22 year old Chinese man named Xiaolian has had a new nose grown on his forehead after loosing his original nose in a car accident. Xiaolian had the treatment to create a replacement for his original nose which was infected and deformed following the accident in 2012. He actually left his damaged nose unattended to after the accident which led to the infection and eventual deformity, leaving the surgeons unable to repair it.




Surgeons in China were left with no option than to create another nose for the man to breathe properly and then transplant it to the original place. The nose was created by placing a skin tissue expander onto Xiaolian’s forehead. This was cut into the shape of a nose and was supported by cartilage taken from the man’s ribs.

Surgeons say that the nose has developed well and that the transplant surgery will be carried out soon.

10 Simple Ways to Wake Up With Self-Confidence

Your morning alarm just went off. What are you doing this morning?
Are you jumping out of bed ready to start your day or are you trying to squeeze in “5 more minutes” of sleep?
If you are like most people, you are still struggling to roll out of bed and inside your head, you’re thinking, “here we go again.”
Wouldn’t it be great if you could start every day full of energy and self-confidence?
You probably know people who seem to always be “on.” They are self-confident and wake up happy whether it’s to play golf on Sunday or to go to work on Wednesday.
Why is it some people seem to be bursting with energy in the morning while most of us can barely even wake up?
The reason we don’t just jump out of bed is because we very much prefer our sleep to anything else out there. Most of us view waking up and the morning routine as chore time. We have to dress the kids, pick our clothes, prepare the coffee, cook breakfast, commute to work, etc. It feels like bleary-eyed drudgery without much to look forward to.
Our mornings don’t remind us that we have a  life purpose, a compelling reason to begin our day with joy. To see the difference between beginning your morning with a purpose versus just getting up and mindlessly following your routine, think of the last time you were truly excited to wake up.
Why were you excited?
What were you doing?
Maybe you had plans to visit a close friend, you were working on an exciting project, or it was the day of your big presentation. You had your day planned out, and you had something to look forward to.
The good news is that anyone can begin the day with purpose and self-confidence.  It’s not a man or woman thing, or extrovert or introvert trait, or an age specific issue. It simply comes down to giving your morning purpose.
Here are 10 strategies you can begin tonight to make your tomorrow more purposeful and to add confidence and energy to your day.

1. Go to bed early

In our efforts to do more and more every day we have to cut something. Unfortunately, a lot of people choose to sacrifice sleep so they can answer that one last email or finish writing that one last check.
Sleep does a lot for your body. Besides reducing your risk for some cancers, relieving stress, and cutting weight, going to bed early makes you feel recharged in the morning and gives you more energy to jump out of bed feeling rested. That one email or bill payment can wait until the morning, because your body, mind, and well-being require a good night’s rest.

2. Wake up on time

When you go to be earlier, you’ll be able to wake up easier. And when you have more time in the morning, you don’t have to rush or feel pressured. You have time to eat mindfully, reflect on your day ahead, and spend time with your family. You begin your day in a state of calm confidence.
But if you are anything like me, it might not be that easy. As soon as my alarm went off, I hit snooze and crawled deeper into my covers and fell back asleep.
However, I found one technique that worked wonders for me. Before I go to bed, I  set my alarm and place it away from my nightstand and next to my door. This way, when the alarm goes off, I have to wake up, walk to the door, and turn it off.  Since I am near my door, I can tell myself to leave my room and not be seduced by my warm bed.
When you are trying to start your day off confidently, the worst thing you can do is go back to the bed. If you find a way to force yourself to get out of the bed and leave your bedroom, you’ll lessen the temptation to crawl back into your sheets.

3. Prepare for the day ahead

Take 10 minutes each morning (or before you go to bed) to plan your day and prepare for anything that is on your schedule. This will allow you to clear your mind, prepare for any important events or plans, and remove the unnecessary stress caused by those “Shoot! I forgot I had to do this” moments. You can confidently begin your day knowing you are on top of things.

4. Drink water

Second only to sleep (might even be the first), I make an effort to drink water in the morning to revitalize my body and refresh my mind. I incorporated drinking water in my morning routine so I can have a reason to leave my room when my alarm goes off. But beginning your day hydrated with make you feel better physically and will make you mentally alert.

5. Have something to look forward to 

When you have something to look forward to, you can’t wait to get started. It doesn’t have to be something massive, just enough to motivate you to get up on time and have a purpose in the morning.
My little routine is this: I get up and if I went to bed early and woke up on time, I reward myself with two mini-bagels with strawberry jam on top (I am addicted to these things!). On days when I don’t get up or I sleep late, I take don’t reward myself with my treat.
This might seem silly, but as long as I’m up and happy in the morning that’s all that matters to me. Remember that no one is judging you. Find something that feels like a reward or joyful activity — maybe sitting outside to drink your coffee or taking 10 minutes to read.

6. Do what you love

I won’t steal Barrie’s thunder on this since she is the master. There is no better way to begin the morning than to know the work you are doing is what lights you up and gives your day meaning and life purpose. If you don’t know what your life passion is, make it a priority to find out. Begin the process of uncovering your passion so that each morning, you wake up knowing your work will feel more like play.

7. Remember to Smile

Smile and you’ll just feel happier and more confident. It’s that simple. In fact, a number of research studies have shown the act of smiling, even if forced,  can actually produce feelings of happiness. When you wake up, look in the mirror and smile at yourself. Smile at your family and smile when you are driving to work. It might feel silly at first, but soon you’ll notice you’re smiling naturally because you’re happy.

8. Exercise

Along with sleep and drinking water, exercise is one of the most important activities for confidence and happiness. You don’t have go to the gym and lift weights for an hour. Anything that’s gets your body moving and endorphins engaged will make you feel more energized, happy, and confident.
The first time I ever stepped inside a gym was in 2012, and it transformed my life. I started with 30-minute workouts, and now I am up to 90 minutes.  I love every minute of it. If I can do it (I used to be 40 pounds overweight), you can do it too. Just start small — even a 5 minute jog outside your home is better than doing nothing.

9. Pick your clothes the night before

Instead of worrying about what you will wear in the morning, have your outfit picked out the night before. Choose something to wear that makes you feel good about how you look and how you present yourself to others. This will save you time and remove another chore from your morning routine.

10. Express gratitude

I thought this was silly (even more so than my bagel treat), but one of my professors challenged us one day to wake up, look in the mirror, and tell ourselves one thing we were grateful for.
It could be something as big as your internship or something as little as mint chocolate cookies. By counting your blessings and seeing anything that makes your life great, you’ll be ready to tackle the day with a positive outlook. What started with a silly assignment is now a part of my daily routine.

---

With just a few simple shifts in your routine, you can dramatically change the way you begin your day. When you wake up feeling calm, rested, energized, and positive, your self-confidence will soar. You will feel in control of your outlook, your happiness, and your life.

CAST OF ‘MOTHER OF GEORGE’ SHINE IN AFRICAN FABRIC

'Mother of George' is a vibrant, touching and universal movie that portrays a couple navigating through the crevices of marital mishaps. The movie is produced by Andrew Dosunmu, a New York based Nigerian film maker. The movie received the Cinematography Award (U.S. Dramatic) at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival. The cast of the movie include Bukky Ajayi and Tony Okungbowa . The movie is lavished with vibrant colors, which include Ankara and adire fabrics.

The movie is the perfect vehicle for Dosunmu, a former fashion photographer whose images have appeared in a variety of international publications to showcase his style. As a filmmaker, Dosunmu says he intends to bring the weight of the African tradition to film-making. With bold, rich imagery that involves frequent close-ups, Dosunmu puts the microscope on one ordinary family with a universal story and the result is a beautiful work of art. 

“Mother of George” releases in theaters September 13.

Cruisin’ Together! Lara & Wale’s Playful Pre-Wedding Shoot in Lagos Island & Ilashe Beach | AkinTayoTimi

We can’t get enough of Lara and Wale’s playful pre-wedding shoot! We love when couples take something as routine as hitting the beach on Sunday and make it something special like turning into a shoot.

You can almost hear music in the background as you see the pictures – this is a couple that’s always having fun!

***

Bride-to-be: Lara
Groom-to-be: Wale

How He Proposed 
From the bride, Lara
He planned the whole proposal with my friend Sade, they had been at it for over a month and I had no idea. Sade kept bugging me to come hangout with the girls, I finally decided to hangout.

We decided to go to Rodizzio at GRA Ikeja, got there, ordered our food and drinks. All seemed normal, we were all gisting and having fun, I kinda noticed Sade steal away a couple of times to talk with the waiters but I paid it no attention.

The food finally came & I was digging in…half way through the meal, I finally noticed a sparkly thing at the tip of the plate. Just as I realized it was a ring, I looked up & saw my boo walk in with a couple of his friends. I was confused for a second as I had just gotten off the phone with him 5 minutes earlier and he told me he was at Lekki.

He walked up to me all smiles, I had to hit him playfully with a napkin. Next, he gives me a lil speech on how I complete him and make him happy, he stated all the reasons why he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Then he goes on on one knee and asks me to be his lady forever.

The Concept - From AkinTayoTimi, the Photographer

If a young man asks a young woman for a date,

That’s his business.

If the woman accepts,

That’s her business.

If the young man and the woman decide to marry,

That’s their business.

However, if they want great wedding photographs -

That’s MY BUSINESS! Lol

Regular visitors of my blog - www.akintayotimi.com/blog - can tell that I’m a foodie and proud of it. That being said, I met Lara (the bride to be) while shooting a friend’s wedding – Dammy. How did I notice her? Well I was hungry and there was this huge pile of cupcakes nobody touched. I felt obliged to eat them ’cause being wasteful can be categorized as a sin. Just before I was about to take one, I saw Lara (the bride) come around and take like 3….I was like OMG? She noticed the cakes too? We immediately connected.

She got my number from Dammy (the bride of the event) and informed me about her wedding coming up during the fall. Hell yeah I said yes, if not for anything there would be food right?  A week to the pre-wedding shoot we began discussing ideas, locations etc, nooo don’t use this place, it’s too far, nooo, cant you come to the mainland, nooo, I don’t know the road, oh boy, felt like we were going to shoot a movie.

We finally concluded the location during the early hours of the shoot, imagine! At the back of my mind, I knew – this gonna be some pre-wedding shoot alright, better make intense fun out of it. I met Wale the same day and we began talking like we’ve been friends for a while. Its definitely a guy thing, no offence ladies.

Such a free spirited couple they are. Tolani and Sade good friends of the couple joined us on our trip to Illashe as well as Banana Island which were the 2 locations we shot at, well apart from reducing our food ration, they helped a great deal in assisting me. When photography meets fun, the limit to creativity is endless. Amateurs worry about equipment, professionals worry about time. I could spend the whole day gisting and shooting with this couple. I told Lara we needed a few coperate and casual outfits, you can tell she has impeccable taste. Most of the outfits were gotten from Dammy by the way, small world.

With over 1,200 pictures taken, I hope the chosen few can give you a glimpse of how amazing it is to work with a foodie, oh I’m sorry with a lovely couple 

Enjoy!!!
