Actress Funke Adesiyan denies having boob enlargement surgery

Tongues started wagging after the actress was spotted at a party a few weeks back displaying really large boobs (photo on the right), but Funke has denied going under the knife. When asked by a reporter if she'd had breast enlargement surgery, the actress laughed and said:

"Of course it's not true. It's because of what I wore and how I packed it. My boobs are the same, no increase, no decrease. It's all these jobless people that see nothing else about me but my boobs that started the rumour."

Security Advisory: Increasing kidnap-for-ransom incidents in Lagos

This security advisory was sent out to expatriates who work in oil companies in Lagos. But foreigners aren't the only ones being abducted in Lagos...so decided to share with everyone. See it below...

Recently in Lagos State, specifically between February 10 2013 and today, at least 10 confirmed kidnap-for-ransom incidents involving 12 victims have been recorded between Ikoyi, Victoria Island and the Lekki-Epe axis of the state. One incident occurred near Abraham Adesanya Estate on the Lekki-Epe expressway on February 10; four incidents on February 23, March 1, 21, and 25, occurred at Awoyaya area on the same route; two incidents in Lekki on March 23 -  one on the alternative route, and the other a foiled kidnap attempt along Admiralty Way; one incident on Awolowo road in Ikoyi on March 24; and two incidents involving a Briton and three Lebanese in Victoria Island on March 23 and 27 respectively. These incidents appear to be random and opportunistic but mostly happened late at night. However, high-profile incidents are usually preceded by prolonged monitoring of intended targets.

While most victims are typically released after a few days of captivity and the payment of some ransom to the criminals, the psychological trauma and the possible financial burden placed on victims, their families, friends and even colleagues, lasts much longer.

Personnel are by this advisory reminded that they are primarily responsible for their personal security. Bearing this in mind:

·        Vary your routine as much as practicable - the more predictable your movements and schedules are to and from places of leisure, entertainment,  worship, shopping, and schooling, the easier it is for a kidnapper to plan and execute your abduction.

·        Regularly review your personal security, the security around your home, and your own or your spouse’s private business premises.

·        Limit late night outings.

·        Be especially careful and alert when you have to stop for any reason at night, including  traffic lights; do not stop on isolateand/or poorly lit highways.

·        Limit ATM use and large financial transactions to banks located at more secure areas like MPN premises.

·        If you suspect a vehicle tailing you on the road, drive to the nearest Police station or public place where help is near.

·        Counsel children never to leave home without telling you, and to maintain communication with a parent or guardian.

·        As always, during festive periods and at other times, be aware of the risk posed by large gatherings, as they might constitute attractive targets for violent criminals and terrorists.

·        Finally, review the security tips shared at the office with members of your household, practice security stand downs with your family, and be sure to discuss this and other security advisories with them.

Beyonce covers May issues of Vogue and Cosmopolitan magazines

When asked by Vogue magazine if she considered herself a feminist, Beyonce replied...

'That word can be very extreme...But I guess I am a modern-day feminist. I do believe in equality. Why do you have to choose what type of woman you are? Why do you have to label yourself anything? I’m just a woman and I love being a woman. I do believe in equality and that we have a way to go and it's something that's pushed aside and something that we have been conditioned to accept. But I'm happily married. I love my husband.'
