Former Ondo Governor, Olusegun Agagu Is Dead
Will Smith Doesnt Look 45... or Does He? Check out pictures of him on set from his upcoming film, Focus
The actor showed off his toned physique as he squeezed in a workout between takes on the New Orleans set of Focus on Friday.
Wearing just blue shorts and trainers, the topless hunk was put through his paces as he completed his workout with a trainer.
Will is in the Big Easy to shoot scenes for his upcoming film Focus, which follows a con man (Smith) who falls for a rookie (Margot Robbie) right as he's planning an elaborate theft. And although Margot, 23, is over 20 years younger than Will, he looked like he will have no trouble keeping up with her. In the movie Will also stars opposite Rodrigo Santoro, who plays a powerful auto racing team owner who wants Robbie's affections for himself.
So, Miss Uzbekistan comes from a Muslim country that holds no such contest?
As beauty queens go, Miss Uzbekistan ticks all the boxes.
She’s pretty, sporty, loves to travel, has musical talent and has brains to boot (she says she likes to read Chekhov, Dostoevsky and Tolstoy).
And after she’s competed at the Miss World final in Indonesia later this month, 18-year-old Rakhima Ganieva wants to graduate from university and become a lawyer.
Mysterious girl: Rakhima Ganieva claims to be 'Miss Uzbekistan' - despite no such competition ever being held
Centre of attention: Miss Uzbekistan struts along the runway at the opening ceremony of Miss World 2013 held in Bali Indonesia
But there is a glaring omission from her perfect CV – Uzbekistan has no idea who she is. The predominantly Muslim country doesn’t even hold a Miss Uzbekistan contest.
Officials at the Uzbek Culture and Sports Ministry and the National Committee on Women said yesterday that anyone laying claim to the nation’s beauty crown was an imposter.

Zimbabwe Fashion Week 2013: Zuvva Spring/Summer 2014
Culled from Bellanaija.com
We are still taking a look at the fabulous Zimbabwe Fashion Week 2013 that held from the 28th to 30th of August 2013 & also where Zimbabwean fashion rocked.
Today, we are looking at another great designer – Zuvva. The design label bright red, green, blue and white hes to the runway in flowing gowns, knee length dresses, structured jackets, brights leggings and overcoats.
I liked how each piece looked very
differently from the next and the understated simplicity of each piece.
But that’s just me, it’s time for our fabulous BN Style watchers (of
course I’m talking about you) to tell us what you think.

Upcoming designers in the fashion industry like April by Kunbi, Kimono Kollection, Tiannah Styling, Nkili, Andrea Iyamah, David Bowler, Shakara Couture, Eclectic by Sasha, Rebahia and Moofa to name a few gave us timeless runway looks that we still see on red carpets today.

The Iconic designer, Lanre Da Silva Ajayi closed the show with D’banj performing alongside. It was truly an amazing fuse of fashion and music.
Selected guests were invited to the Music Meets Runway Pre-Party sponsored by Ciroc Premium Vodka, which took place two days before the main event and was deemed by attendees as the most entertaining party of the year.

Rationale of the Black Panther and the Iron Musical Throne
The Black Panther signifies power, struggle, freedom and empowerment of the black race. MMR 2013 is celebrating music & fashion icons who have been recognized internationally and as such have put us (Nigeria) on the world map. “Panthers” are known for their extra-terrestrial strength and these iconic pioneers are determined men and women who are not only passionate but believe in hard work.
The Iron Throne represents the political
relationship between both fields (fashion and music) metaphorically.
Fashion has always needed music to get to a certain level of acceptance
by the public. And this year, as seen in “The Game Of Thrones“,
MMR is filled with suspense, intrigue and lots of power; the fashion
gurus will literally ride on music to showcase their inherent
creativity.

Children Are A Blessing But What Do You Do When A Teenager Has Triplets For A 16 Year Old Boy??
Nursing officer-in-charge Mary Marumbu said the babies and their mother were in stable condition and ready to be discharged. The father of the babies, a 16-year-old boy, is said to have taken off on learning that the girl had given birth to triplets. The teen is also a school dropout and does menial jobs. The arrival of the triplets is said to have distressed him.
“He has no ability to take care of the babies even if he was here. We are grateful to the government for scrapping off maternity fees because I will be free to go home once discharged. I would have been detained here if I had been asked to pay,” the teenage mother said.
