Nigerian Traders and Shop Owners To Be Chased Out Of Zimbabwe Come Jan 1 2014

According to a report by newzimbabwe.com, the Permanent secretary for Zimbabwe’s empowerment ministry, George Magosvongwe, told a Parliamentary committee that the government would enforce regulations which reserve certain sectors of the economy to Zimbabweans on January 1, 2014.

The question has been asked several times and in various forms – how romantic is an African man? Can an African man serenade his lover?

Well, Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke seems to have provided answers to this recurring question.

You would recall the actor left the country on Tuesday, with a promise to take his girlfriend, Nadia Buari around the world. The couple are actually in Spain where they celebrated Nadia’s birthday. To make her day special, the pair had a private dinner at DI Costa, and guess what? Jim invited Spanish Mariachi to serenade Nadia, and what follows – she cried all through – can you beat that?

So I ask again, who says African men are not romantic?

Beyonce and Jay Z’s Marriage Crumbling, Bey Wants a Trial Separation

Jay Z and Beyonce married in 2008 and welcomed their adorable daughter, Blue Ivy, in 2012 — but on Nov. 13 it was reported that Bey was thinking about taking a break from their marriage because she thought Jay wasn’t putting the family first.

According to latinpost, Queen Bee wants a trial separation from Jay Z because she feels that he isn't fulfilling his duties as a husband and father to their 19-month-old daughter.

Jay Z reportedly visited his wife to have a 3-day mini vacation at a private resort to make their relationship better, while Beyoncé was in Australia performing for her tour.

"Jay Z's early November trip to Australia was not just a family getaway, it was a last-ditch effort to keep his marriage afloat," a source said. "Jay Z's decision to tour Europe at the same time as Beyoncé is touring Australia has caused serious damage to their relationship - damage that may be ultimately proved to be irreparable."

Joselyn Dumas Talks about Her Role in Reality Series 'Lekki Wives'

Ghanaian TV host/actress, Joselyn Dumas is the latest addition to reality series, 'Lekki Wives' – she talks about her role in a recent interview with Ovation.

Here is excerpt;

How was filming on the set of the successful "Lekki Wives". Is working on TV in Nigeria dramatically different from Ghana?

No, we are so alike; we are cousins; Nigerians and Ghanaians are so alike, the only difference is our names.  I played a lead character role and I’m a new wife that has been introduced in this season.  It was very different, I wouldn’t say it was challenging as I’ve just come off and have learnt so much on the  ‘Adams Apples’ set.  I thank GOD for Shirley Frimpong-Manso as if she hadn’t given me that chance I would have sacked on "Lekki Wives’.  It was good, a great experience and I think that the only challenge that I have is I was trying to get some Nigerian words to roll off my tongue and it just wouldn’t roll (laughs heartily). That was the only challenge.
