Terkura Unongo, a 14yrs old boy  has launched a website, www.theimongo.com, for social networking. Though the website might not be as sophisticated as the likes of Facebook, seems as a good invention coming from a young Nigerian.The early exposure that Terkura, an eighth Grade Student of Hillcrest Middle School, Jos, Plateau State, had to the Internet seems to have paid off.

He was given full support by his parents to explore his talents in the digital world, and they provided him with gadgets. His first e-mail address was opened at age eight and he joined Facebook two years after and other popular social networks in quick succession. Also he was inspired by his computer science teacher apart from his parents.
Terkura, who hails from Benue State, says, “Well, I think I became IT-savvy right from the day I started using a computer, as my parents provided the atmosphere for me to acquire various computer devices. But my potentials got sharpened in 2011 when my computer teacher basically showed me the fun in HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language).

April Brown is a woman  who is not ashamed to say that she once suffered from self esteem issues. The negative feelings about her body image led to her decision to pay for butt injections at a “pumping party” 8 years ago.
The person that administered the injections was an unlicensed bootleg hustler. April says that she was well aware of the fact that the person that injected her had no medical background and decided to go through with the procedure anyways.
Brown says that she suffered with extreme pain for 5 years after her procedure. Prior to being injected with the bad silicone, Brown worked in Cosmetology and Fashion Design. In 2011 Brown’s health declined and in an effort to save her life, Dr’s suggested that she have her limbs removed.

A reliable source who has chosen to remain anonymous informed Nigeriafilms.com that Mike Adenuga is not encouraged with some Nollywood stars who are on his payroll and have not been ‘too active’.
“Oga is not happy with some Nollywood stars who rake millions of naira yet they don’t bring value to the Glo brand,” the source sequel to us.
The source said that the number of those to be dropped are close to five but only Monalisa Chinda and Desmond Elliot's names were revealed to us. It was also learnt that Glo has not informed them about the development.
Those that will replace them are known to us already and are singers including Lagbaja. They will be unveiled in few days in Lagos.
