Outta Town Entertainment (Naija group) want me to give you guys their debut album/mix tape to listen to as part of a promotional offer. Download it here.
REALITY TV SHOWS
i) The Salt-N-Pepa Reality TV Show / VH1
I just had to start off with this. Did you guys know these two ladies didn't get on? Since they split up it'd been more like hatred. I'm not a fan of reality TV shows at all (as per easiest way to make money) but this one is worth watching - most of it seems real oh. 5 out of 5 from me - okay I'm partial. I love S N' P - WHO DOESN'T?!
You can watch the show online at the official site here and below is a video of them in action LOL!
P.S. if it doesn't play, watch it here - QUITE INTERESTING.
ii) Run's House / MTV / MTV BASE
"Rev. Run, (Joseph Simmons of Run-DMC and brother of Russell Simmons), and his wife Justine continue to manage a very bustling household and keep the lives of their 5 children as normal as possible amid the extravagance of their surroundings." The show is back for the 4th season and is quite amusing to watch these rich black kids on TV. Other than that, their lifestyle doesn't seem phony and is a 4 out of 5 from me.
Here is a link to the Run's House TV show site for episode guides, cast info and trailers.
Even the Simmons daughters are doing big things with their shoe line - PASTRY footwear. More info on pastry kicks here.
iii) Man and Wife / MTV
Last and probably the LEAST as I'm not sure I'm feeling this yet. A show about and featuring Fatman Scoop and his wife, Shanda. An article says:
"Funny, colorful and raw, Man And Wife, was born completely out of Fatman Scoop (Grammy Winner/Legend) and his wife Shanda’s marriage. The show gives viewers an interactive and voyeuristic role in the steamy, wild, naughty banter between a sexy couple in love, keeping it real, and keeping it hot!"
Right now I'll give it a 2.5 out of 5 - not really my thing, but come back later. Check out their website - http://www.manandwife.tv/
That's all folks! Come back tomorrow for a lot of Naija (and International) news and later on this week for a Proudly Nigerian collabo.

Not sure if everyone has heard about Emirates' new First Class Suites on their Boeing 777-300ER's and 777-200LR's? It was highlighted as blogworthy by Naijanaz.
Forget the perks oh:
Another press release says:

Proudly Nigerian: 
Proudly Nigerian
Most of us are proudly Nigerian (thank God) so no need to discuss this but hey it's independence so why not re-post? Check out my 4 Proudly Nigerian posts though. :o)
419: Not Our Label
Hmmmm like Tuface would say - No be small thing oh! Well, let us start rejecting it sha. You can be sure I have been planning for an Advanced Fee Fraud post for a couple of months now. It will be mad. But you can check out this video, this person meant business oh - a whole gallery exhibition regarding 419. It is titled - 419 or the spanish prisoner, exhibit in Girona (click to watch pretty interesting). But why would this person call us out like that now? - And what would make it worse is if people paid to attend this exhibition - wawaweewa. Nigerians Reject it!
Picture - Lagos: Stori Plenti
I don't know why I inserted this but I like the pic, very Lagosy (without the random albums of course) :o)
NYSC
People who have gone through this probably have a copy of this - it's the NYSC certificate. For those who are interested in doing NYSC (serving Nigeria post college prior to working), it is worth checking Ayoola's blog. NYSC also have a website - check it out.
Dimples, although all roads led to NYSC camp in Lagos for her, didn't quite come back doing it just yet. So yes we always have the Nigerian uncertainty. She does have a diary/account of her escapades on her 'NYSC trip'. I'll post that up on Wednesday or Thursday.
Now to some videos
Nigeria is the best place - Gba o (music by JJC & 419 squad, very ironic name with regards to this post i.e. 419 not our label hehe but oh well)

If you are still totally amused or in shock like me, this is the original (i.e. what he was trying to copy)
LOLLLL, anywhoo! After you've finished laughing, I'd like to introduce a friend into Blogville - her blog is titled A Gold Mine and she is a crazy chic - also Proudly Nigerian. At least I hope! So welcome her to Blogville please.
Now for some real Proudly Nigerian stuff. In line with the Federal Government's renewed drive to encourage exports, a group of experts have come up with suggestions on how to improve the image of our local products by making their names attractive and in line with International Standards on exports. Feel free to offer suggestions:
This is a joke right? P.S. I did not come up with them.
Nigerian Shows - There are so many on:
Holler! Hope you're having a good week :o) xxx
...........Naija to the Core is 1 today!!
CONGRATULATIONS ORE M'OWO RE WA!! Hehehehe - rah (as in razz). Ooooh I'm so excited I can't even blog (hehehe looking for a good excuse to run away and not blog today but too many eyes watching lol).
My Blog is a year old today, literally it isn't as I actually started my first blog-post in May so we have another birthday to celebrate hehehe - any excuse to drink up! So free Mojitos for all readers, just put it on my tab.
I am actually quite impressed - I stuck with it for a whole year. Some of you may know I am one of those multi-multi-taskers, wanting to do too many things and then hardly get any of the tasks complete but blogging seems to be a keen hobby or call it a habit of mine.
I have had my highs:
And my Lows:I have had some funny things too cos I like to see myself as a lively happy comical person:
Things for the chicks and the lads:
A lot of times I also found myself running away and coming back hehehe (my favourite past-time):
Honestly, I am quite proud of myself, quite chuffed. Some may say my style of writing has changed a bit, I believe I put passion into some of the articles depending on what I am writing about and that is not to say I only did that in the past. I love blogging so hopefully I will be celebrating my BlogDay this time next year. I will give freebies and party-packs tomorrow, to all who came here for awoof stuvvs.
But I strongly advise you guys to read all or some of the links I have put in and colour-coded for you with my time and effort hehe. But yes, go through my selected posts and comment if you like.
Premiers of this Kingsley Ogoro Nollywood blockbuster have been held in Lagos, Maryland and Abuja. Now, they are bringing it to The Broadway Theatre in Catford, London this Saturday - 4th November from 4pm. It also consists of a concert starring Styl-Plus, Sunny Nneji, Segun Arinze and Angelica (My Naija Guy - see Bella's post). I believe it is worth attending. Check out the theatre details for more info.
