Popular Kenyan Actress, Nana Gichuru died in a car crash on the Eastern bypass, Kenya on Tuesday September 22, 2015 after her car rammed into a lorry.
Police and witnesses say the actress appeared to have been trying to overtake a number of vehicles in her BMW when she collided head-on with an oncoming truck.
Scene of the crash…
Nana was an actor, writer, musician, voice artist, and young film maker.
A quick glance through her social media pages shows some death related posts she’s put up lately that might indicate she had a predicted her death;
‘I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom in me in a magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The function of man is to live. Not to exist. I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them. I shall use my time’.
Another one reads; ‘Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘HOLY CRAP!!!! WHAT A RIIIDEE’….
“Rack City” rapper, Tyga has reportedly cancelled a Brazilian tour because of Kylie’s disapproval. The rapper was due to play three eagerly-awaited gigs in Brazil this week, but is now reportedly facing a huge fine after canceling at the last minute.
In a statement, the furious local organizers of the tour said Tyga’s reps had informed them ‘he would not be coming to Brazil for his shows because he was stopped by his current girlfriend, media personality and socialite Kylie Jenner, Daily Mail reports.
We are very upset in finding out an artist lacks the professionalism and the love for Brazilian fans, and allows something personal to interfere with his work schedule,’ added Alexandre Stocco, of AS Productions, and Andre Marques, of Amarx Productions.
His much-publicized tour was set to start today in Sao Paulo and the last minute cancellation has led many to mock the 24-year-old bad-boy rapper for being more puppy than Tyga.
‘In his videos he is a bad-boy, shows off, tries to look like a villain, but in reality his girlfriend stops him from doing shows in Brazil… Well done Tyga, you are just a puppy,’
tweeted Saopaulino15.
Manuela wrote: ‘
Tyga won’t come to Brazil because of Kylie, I’ve found someone who is a bigger loser than me in relationships.’
Okay, ladies and gents! I’m going to reveal my truth… I se… never mind. Let it remain forever hidden with me *raised eyebrow*.
Take a very good look at those boldly flaunted abs by this stunning female emcee, Eva Elohor Alordiah. Not so many females in the country are fanatics of having such an amazing body, they’re all after the chest and back side. Lol.
In a series of instagram posts, the gorgeous rapper shared her stories like she does, normally with these amazing photos of herself! She broke the news few days ago, that she’ll be dropping her 1960 album on the 1st of October. Creative… isn’t she?
Oh my days! I can’t seem to get enough of the way ladies act when they catch their men cheating though, if they’re are not selling the car they both for them, then they burning their houses, if it isn’t that, then they’re calling them out via an advertising billboard! Lol.
An obviously scorned wife decided to dump her alleged cheating husband by erecting a billboard sign on his way to work. The message was written boldy on the board on a major commuter route into the the Yorkshire city.
It read:
“To my cheating husband Paul. You deserve each other. When you get home I won’t be there.Enjoy your drive to work! Lisa.”
The message which has gone viral on social media has many hailing her move. Mark Catterall, from advertising agency, Kong Media who sold Lisa the advertising space, said she paid “hundreds of pounds” for her exit sign.
He told the media:
“She just wanted it on during rush hour.The Sheffield Parkway is always jammed as it is the main artery in and out of the city in the morning and the client wanted on while her ex-partner was driving to work.
“It is the most recognised billboard location in the city, so I wouldn’t like to be the partner scorned by this. I think there will be a few calls made this morning to a few Lisas and Pauls. “It is the first time I’ve seen a message like this on a digital billboard in the UK. I know it has happened before in the US. But she used the flexibility of a digital billboard and I think it was an interesting idea by the lady.” “It’s a professional approach to dumping someone, but we are happy to carry marriage proposals as well.”

Popular rapper, The Game has spoken on his beef with former friend, Chis Brown over his ex girlfriend, Karrueche. The beef brewed after The Game liked 8 of Karrueche‘s photos on Instagram and ended up following her.
Speaking on the Breakfast club, he said:
All I did, I saw some pictures of Karrueche that were cool and I double tapped them, like I usually do. Everybody took it all out of context. I didn’t really care about how it would make anybody feel, I just double tapped some pictures. I was actually thinking about how I would feel and I thought the pictures were amazing so I double tapped em.
On What He Looks For In A Woman, he says:
As far as women go you have to be damn near amazing for me to take you seriously. Most women that I come across these days, in hip hop and what not, aren’t really worth the time. All the real women are in the workplace but I mean you can’t just walk in a building and be like, ‘yeah it’s you’, you know what I mean? So you have to wait until you meet somebody by chance or something like that, and you know that gets old so you end up fingering in the park.
How cool is this ? Pretty dope yeah? Father and son fashion, kinda sweet.
He’s been off the radar for a while now but he’s definitely been around. Toyin Lawani‘s beau, Triggakess is seen here in this photo matching a Ralph Lauren polo with their adorable son.

The desire to travel out of Nigeria in search of greener pasture is a weakness which fraudsters prey on. Visa lottery is one of the opportunities available to travel to America and Europe.
These fraudsters open fake websites or adverts for Visa openings asking people to apply and pay a token. The string of payment begins when they inform you that you are close to securing a visa to the country of your choice.
If you are not careful, you might end up paying more money than you would have if you were following the due process to secure a visa. At the end, the 419ers don’t even have any visa to provide.
Doctors in New Nigeria Hospital at Kirikiri area of Lagos State, are currently battling to save the life of a young artiste who was shot by a yet- to -be-identified Army officer, last Wednesday morning.
It was learned that the victim was returning home from the studio with his friend when he was shot by the soldier. He was later rushed to a nearby hospital that same night for treatment.
When Vanguard visited the hospital, yesterday, the victim who was lying critically ill in one of the male wards, was barely able to speak. He narrated his ordeal: “I was coming back from the studio with my friend at about 2am when we noticed the presence of the Army officer. My friend attempted to run because he was afraid when the officer stopped us. He told me to run but I refused. While we were at the studio, my friend had smoked Indian hemp and was misbehaving, despite efforts made to stop him from smoking that night.
“I tried to explain our mission to the officer and why we were returning home at that particular time of the night, but he still kept on suspecting us. At this stage, my friend took to his heels and I followed him. The officer then ran after us and when I became tied, he shot at my leg four times. The pain was unbearable and I became unconscious. The next morning, I woke up only to see myself at the New Nigeria Hospital battling with pains. Since then, I haven’t heard from my friend.”
The owner of the hospital, Dr Geoffrey Orajekwe, who spoke to Vanguard, said some policemen and other individuals brought the victim to the hospital around 3am. He said when he was about closing for the night, the officers asked him to start administering treatment immediately without initial deposit.
“Up till now, nobody has paid for his medical bill. Though I heard some gunshots that night but I didn’t know what was happening until I saw the victim. Seeing the condition of the boy, I immediately picked up courage, took him to one of the wards and had to open the left and right legs of the boy to remove the bullets before it spreads to the joint. I finally found the bullets and I assure you that he would be fine very soon,” the doctor said.

Muslims in Ekiti yesterday defied the directive of some of their leaders not to collect Sallah gifts from Governor Ayo Fayose, as they trooped to the government house in Ado Ekiti to collect the rams distributed by the governor for Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
This contravened the order earlier issued by Muslim leaders, under the auspices of League of Imams and Alfas, Ekiti State, which urged members to reject the gifts on the strength that their members were not adequately represented in Fayose’s appointments.
Though, another group had countered the League of Imams and Alfas for that action, describing those behind the attack as impostors, who were not known in Islam circle.
While distributing the rams to Imams and other top dignitaries, Fayose said he won’t allow himself to be dragged into playing politics with religion in the state.
The governor urged Muslims to prevent themselves from being used as instruments of politics by desperate politicians, who are bent on maligning his government at every slight opportunity.
In his words:
“I won’t allow anybody to drag me into playing politics with religion. What I am doing today is a demonstration of love and support for the Muslims. I am not that kind of a leader who does things with religious interest.
“I will do same to Christians at Christmas exactly what I am doing to Muslims today.”
